A Dandedaisy card

 

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

I began by blending some Mustard Seed Distress Ink onto a 14cm square piece of smooth white card.  

Next I stamped the script background stamp over the whole panel also with Mustard Seed Distress Ink. 

I inked up a section of the Bakewell Big One Inkable using Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink. I then spritzed it with water and laid it onto the background. I dried it using a heat tool then repeated this step to add ink to the lower section of the card panel. 

On a separate piece of card I stamped the largest Dandedaisy and painted it using the same distress and distress oxide inks and a little water. Once dry I cut it out.

After sponging more Charted Mariner ink around the edge, I added the panel to the front of a 15cm square card. I stamped the sentiment in the yellow section of the card using Memento clair ink. 

Finally I added the dandedaisy on 3d foam pads  onto the card. 

I used:

Script Background stamp

Bakewell Big one Inkable

Doodle Art Dandedaisy Stamp set

Doodle Art Dancing Daisy stamp set

Mustard Seed Distress ink

Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink

Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink

15cm square white base card

Things with wings

 Hi There! Thought I would show you how I made this card today. The theme for our Challenge over in the Bee Crafty Stamps group on facebook is 'things with wings' so this card is a little inspiration for you. 

I began by blending distress inks around the left and lower edges of a 14cm square piece of smooth card. 

Next I used the Blueprint sketch ink through a dinkable, leaving a little white space.

I stamped the dragonfly in Black Versafine Clair ink and watercoloured it. 

Using the gellyroll moonlight pens, I added a little detail to the dragonfly once dry.

I stamped the ticker tape sentiment in Bali Blue ink on a scrap of white card.

Finally I added the card panel to the front of a white card then added the sentiment and dragonfly using matte medium.

I used:

Doodle Art dragonfly stamp set

Wordage Ticker tape #1 stamp set

Dinkables set 13

Distress inks in Peacock Feathers, Wilted violet and Blueprint Sketch

Versafine Clair ink in Nocturne and Bali Blue

Gelly Roll Moonlight Pens

Bird Artist Trading Cards

Hi there! Thought I would show you how I made this trio of ATCs for my blog post this week. 
 

I began by smooshing some distress inks onto 3 ATC blanks. 

Once these were dry, I used the same inks to add some more ink through the tag inkables

Next I added some stamping to the backgrounds using Journaling essentials 2 and the same shades of distress ink

Setting the backgtrounds to one side I stamped the Birds onto some book paper using brown versafine clair ink.

I added a little shading using a brown colouring pencil

I stuck these birds to the backgrounds using Matte Medium. As the Kingfisher was too large to fit I cut off the tail 

Once dry, I added sentiments from the same stamp sets

Finally I added a splatter or two of Tarnished Brass Distress stain. 

Here are the finished ATCs again.

I used:

ATC blanks (Cards measuring 2.5x3.5 inches)

Distress inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Wild Honey and Gathered Twigs

Tag inkables set 4

Journaling Essentials 2 Stamp set 

Sketchy Birds stamp set

Rainbow Birds stamp set

Book paper

Brown Versafine Clair ink

Kraft Journal pages

 

Hi There! Thought I would show you how I made this journal page, which would be equally suitable for the front of an A6 card. I had been eager to play with the new stamps again, this time combining them with some older ones too.

I began by stamping the script stamp in Unicorn white ink down the centre of the page.

When this was dry, I dry brushed some gesso down the centre of the script and dried it.

I added some mermaid lagoon Distress oxide ink through the circles dinkable ....

...and added some stamping using the oxide ink and some Versafine Clair acorn ink too. 

I blended some walnut stain distress ink onto a book page and drew 3 rough circles with a distress crayon. I then cut these out.

I attached them to the page using matte medium.

I used the doodle art Mandalas to add semi circles to the edges

I chose 3 of the sketchy birds and stamped them onto white card and cut them out. I also stamped the sentiment in Versafine Warm Breeze ink.

I attached the birds and sentiment using sticky pads.

Here is the finished page again.....

....and another using different stamps, different colours, and a little more paint (Dylusions bubblegum pink shimmer paint) 

I used:

Kraft card

Script Background stamp

Hero arts Unicorn White ink
