Home Note Card

 

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

I began by stamping sky terrace on to an A6 piece of greyscale catalyst card. 

Next I tore some strips of coloured catalyst card to make the hills. I chose 3 which contrasted in colour, playing with them until I was happy with the arrangement. 

on another piece of coloured catalyst card I painted a thin layer of gesso to make the colours a bit less vibrant. 

I blended a little mermaid lagoon ink onto the gessoed card too. 

After sponging a little walnut stain Distress oxide around the edges of each layer, I began to stick them together using matte medium. I tucked the edge of the house into the last layer.  

I attached the papers to the front of a 6x4" white card and added the Home sticker from the Winter wordy stickers. 

Here is the finished card again. 

I used: 

A6 Catalyst cards #1 Greyscale and full colour

Doodle art Houses  - Sky Terrace

Wordy Stickers Winter 

Versafine clair ink - Nocturne

Distress Oxide ink - Mermaid lagoon and Walnut Stain

Matte Medium

Thank you so much for looking! 

New Home Card

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you how I created this new home card today. I used 3 colours to make it so it fits the theme for this months bee Crafty Stamps Facebook challenge. 

I began by smooshing Distress oxide inks in Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac and Dried Marigold onto a 12.5 cm square of mixed media paper. I also added a few splatters of Spiced Marmalade distress spritz once it was dry. 

Next I placed Mandala 7 inkable over the top and blended a little Peacock Feathers ink around the edge of the inkable.

On a separate piece of mixed media card I stamped sky terrace in Black Versafine Clair ink and cut it out. I water coloured it using the same distress oxide inks. 

Finally, I added the house to the background panel using 3d foam pads, matted and layered it to the front of a 15cm square card and added a wordy sticker sentiment. 

I used:

Mandala inkable #7

Doodle Art houses Sky Terrace

Wordy stickers 1

Distress oxide inks in Shaded lilac, Salvaged patina, Dried Marigold and Peacock Feathers

Distress spritz in Spiced Marmalade

Versafine Clair ink - Nocturne

Talens Art Creations mixed media paper

15cm square base card
