I'm joining in with the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge today. I thought I'd combine their sketch with the colours from the Color Throwdown challenge. When I saw the sketch, I thought a butterfly and trail would work well. I cut a rectangle of white card slightly smaller than A6, on which I die cut the… Continue reading Butterfly CAS Card
A slightly different card to share today. I thought I would create a clear embossed background, and this dark grey cardstock is perfect for a sophisticated masculine birthday card. I used an embossing powder tool on the cardstock first, to prepare it for the embossing powder. I chose a striped stamp from the Clearly Besotted… Continue reading Embossed Stripes
I'm following the sketch on CAS(E) This Sketch challenge blog today. I started by stamping ice creams and an ice lolly from the Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp set on to white card. I used Memento tuxedo black ink, and then coloured them with promarkers. I used Karisma colouring pencils to add shading and detail. I also… Continue reading Ice Cream and Sprinkles
I had an idea for a simple Easter card, with a white cross on a hill and a sunset sky behind. It was surprisingly quick to make. On an A6 card base, I blended distress inks in barn door, spiced marmalade and squeezed lemonade on the lower portion of the card. I left most of… Continue reading Easter Card
I have a simple watercolour card to share today. I stamped the blossoms image from the Clearly Besotted Beautiful Friend stamp set on to watercolour cardstock with Versamark ink, then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I used distress inks to watercolour the image, first adding plain water to the image and then adding… Continue reading Thinking of You
The Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp features ice cream, lollies, and cakes. It's so fun and perfect for summer birthdays. It's very different to anything I already have so is a great addition to my collection. How I made this card: I stamped the images with Memento tuxedo black dye ink on to white card… Continue reading Altenew Way Too Sweet
I'm longing for Spring now, with brighter evenings and hopefully some better weather. When I decided to make a card today, it just had to include butterflies, to make me think of those Spring days ahead. How I made this card: I blended peacock feathers and mowed lawn distress ink on to some white card.… Continue reading Beautiful Butterflies
I've had this set for a while but have only just got around to making a card with it. It's a really fun set, which is unfortunately now discontinued. How I made this card: On a scrap of grey paper, I stamped some different sentiments, smileys and musical notes in grey ink for a tone… Continue reading Clearly Besotted Text Me
Having recently got some Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens, I wanted some stamped images to colour in. The WPlus9 Doodle Buds stamp set is a really fun set of flower images, leaves and stems. It's great for a variety of colouring techniques too. I wanted to create a clean and simple card to show… Continue reading CAS with WPlus9 Doodle Buds
The WPlus9 Pretty Peonies set is a building stamp set with a lovely artsy style. The layers of stamps are designed not to line up perfectly, which adds to the look. I stamped several flowers and leaves, then tried to die cut them out. Unfortunately this proved tricky, as the dies aren't outlines only so… Continue reading Pretty Peonies
