Inky Background Card

Hi There! I had lots of offcuts of white card on my desk so thought I would make use of one for this card.
 

I began by blending Distress ink across the card. I used Wild Honey, Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves. 

Next I placed over the Tag inkable from set 3 and blended black ink through it. 

Using the crackle stamp not on a block, I randomly stamped patches of crackle in Versafine Clair ink.

I added stamping using journaling essentials #1 in Abandoned Coral, Seedless Preserves and Versafine Clair black ink. 

I added a splatter of Dina Wakley White gloss spray and left to dry. 

On a scrap of black card I stamped and heat embossed a ticker tape sentiment in white.

I stamped a sketchy flower in black, coloured with pencils and cut out

Finally I matted the panel onto a 6x6 inch card, adding the sentiment and the flower on foam pads.

I used:

6x6 inch white card

14 x 7cm piece of smooth white card

Crackle Background stamp

A quick card

 

Hi there! Thought I would show you how I made this card today. 

I began by using the Skylines Horizon 1 inkable to add peacock feathers ink to the foreground of a 5x5inch piece of smooth card.

Next I stamped and cut out Sky Terrace before giving it a light spray with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide spray and left it to dry.

I used the stars from Journaling essentials #1 to stamp the sky in Peacock Feathers oxide ink.

Next I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Twilight before assembling the card

Here is the finished card again.

A couple of ATCs

 

Hi There! It is lovely that Artist Trading Cards are still popular in the Crafting community. For this who don't already know, They are little creations measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches. I thought I would show you how I made these ATCs today.

I began by spraying two ATCs using Distress oxide sprays in Peacock Feathers and Crackling Campfire, and left them to dry.

I used Versafine Clair ink in Warm Breeze and Acorn to Stamp some of the mandalas on to them.

Once these were dry, I rubbed over them with an anti static cloth and stamped a few patches of the crackle stamp in versamark ink, Embossing with Gold detail embossing powder. 

On a scrap of white card I stamped the butterfly several times. I inked the centre of the stamp again and stamped directly onto the ATCs where the butterflies were to be positioned. I then coloured them and cut them out, cutting off the antennae.

I shaped the wings a little with a bone folder and stuck them on with Collage Medium. 

Next I selected some words from the small word stamp set, stamped in Versamark ink onto some teal-coloured card and heat embossed in white. I cut these out and attached to the ATCs.

here are a couple more photos with the light catching the gold embossing

I used:
