I have a fun geometric card to share today. I love geometric patterns and I think they are perfect for masculine cards. I'm really enjoying using stencils more at the moment, so I reached for the MFT Triangles stencil and my favourite distress oxide inks. To add some interest, I also used some patterns from… Continue reading Triangle Patterns
Today I'm sharing a monster birthday box card pop-up. The monsters popping out of the box when it's opened are such fun, and I love to add some monsters on acetate strips for extra pop. The Lawn Fawn Monster Mash stamp set is definitely not just for Halloween. It's got some great sentiments and would… Continue reading Monster Mash Box Card
Today I have a fun ninja card to share. I started by working on the background. I die cut a stitched mod rectangle, then die cut three stitched peekaboo star windows from the rectangle. This die leaves a nice stitched outline on the negative space. I blended colour on to each star, then adhered the… Continue reading Ninja Stars
I shared a photo the other day on instagram of a dragon from the Mama Elephant Me and My Dragon stamp set, which I’d coloured to be a galaxy dragon. I used Faber Castell polychromos pencils to do this. I’ve done plenty of distress ink galaxy backgrounds before, but never tried using colouring pencils so… Continue reading Me and My Galaxy Dragon
Distress oxides are my favourite ink to use. I’ve had my distress oxides for a while but I haven’t used them for watercolour before, so I thought I would try them out on my card today. I chose two colours of distress oxide inks - peacock feathers and cracked pistachio, and pressed the ink pads… Continue reading Happy Balloons with Distress Oxide Watercolour
Spring is my favourite season. I look forward to the tree blossom and daffodils, and hopefully some warmer weather! My card today has a spring feel to it, with the sunshine yellows, complimented by a touch of soft grey. I began by stamping some flowers from the MFT Brushstroke Blooms stamp set. I used MFT… Continue reading Spring Brushstroke Blooms
I'm joining in with the MFT sketch challenge today. I'm also combining it with the MFT colour challenge, as the colours worked so well for my card design. I began by cutting a white card panel to be a little smaller than my card base. From that, I die cut an Inside and Out stitched… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 375
I was inspired by a recent video that I saw by Jennifer McGuire, where she used selective die cutting to create a fun top edge to a card. I love to find additional ways to use coordinating dies, so I thought I'd try making my own version with the tiny ninjas. My usual card base… Continue reading Ninja Off the Edge Die Cutting
I’ve got a CAS card to share today, with a rainbow twist! I’m using the new Wish dienamic from MFT for this card. I die cut a piece of white card with the single stich rounded rectangle frame. On the inside piece, I die cut the Wish dienamic in the bottom right corner. I added… Continue reading Wish Rainbow Stack
I had such a lovely time as a guest on the MFT sketch challenge last month. A new sketch started on Wednesday so I had to play along! I’ve gone for lots of bright vibrant colour for my card. I used the Stitched Mod Rectangles for the four panels on the sketch, layering smaller white… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 371
