Gerbera Garland


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

I began by stamping the smaller gerbera in Black versafine Clair multiple times and cutting them out
On a 5.5" square of white card, I drew a wavy line using the tag inkable from set 5 with pencil.
I stamped 3 different freehand borders up to the wavy line using 3 different colours of versafine clair ink. 
Next I blended 3 coordinating distress oxide inks onto the gerberas and stuck them on to the wavy line with matte medium, overlapping them slightly. I also sponged a little ink around the edge. 
I chose a sentiment form the Wordage Everyday Sentiments 1 set and stamped it in black versafine ink.
Finally I matted and layered the panel onto a 7x7" card blank.
I used;
Versafine Clair ink in Nocturne, Bali Blue, Lilac Bloom and Avacado
Distress Oxide ink in Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron 
7" square card blank
5.5" square of white card

Thanks for looking!

A Super Quick Journal Page

 

Hi there! I'm back from my holiday and here with a super quick journal page for my step by step today.

I began by cutting a piece of the Catalyst card to fit my page and stuck it down using matte Medium. 
Next I stamped the Moonflower using versafine clair black ink and cut it out.
Then I coloured it with some pastel highlighters and added some accents with Gelly Roll Moonlight pens
On the catalyst card I drew a rough cercle in the middle using a distress crayon and smudged it with my finger.
Finally I stuck the image and a wordy sticker to the page, adding some faux stitching. 
Here is the finished page once more.... 
And here it is with it's partner in the journal.
I used:
Highlighter pens
Distress Crayon - Any coordinating shade will do
12cm square sketch book
As the papers and the stamps are new this would be perfect for entering into this month's challenge over in the Bee Crafty Facebook group, where the theme is Something New.
Thanks for looking!

Wear Your Best Smile Card

 

Hi There! I am here with a step by step for this super quick and simple card today.

I began by cutting the catalyst card to fit a 6x6 card, sponging a little brown ink around the edge
Next I cut out the leaf transparency, but not too close to the image
On a scrap of card I stamped the flower from Journaling Essentials #8 twice using versafine ink. I coloured them and cut them out, creating a smaller layer. 
I layered it up and attached the transparency and the flower to the card using matte medium.
Finally, I added a transparency sentiment to finish it off.
I used:

Coloured pencils
