A Quick and Simple card

 

Hi There! I am here with a very simple card this morning. 

I began by stamping a curvy line of the small flower across the page in 4 shades of versafine clair inks

Next I used the freehand border stamp to add some pink lines below the line of flowers. 

I stamped the sentiment in Hawthorn Rose ink in the top white section and sponged a little ink around the panel. I also added gold centres to the flowers using a gelly roll pen

Finally I attached the panel to the front of a 6x4" white card blank. 

I used:

Doodle Art Blooming Blooms stamp set

Freehand Borders #1 stamp set

Mixed Messages #3 stamp set

Versafine Clair ink - I used Bali Blue, Baby Pink, Arctic, Very Peri and Hawthorn Rose

Gold Gel Pen

6x4" white card blank and white card 5.5 x 3.5"

3d foam pads

More Pastel Colours

 

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

I began by masking off about half of a 5x7" panel of card, and blending pastel distress oxide inks below the tape

Next I sprayed the Big one inkable with water and laid it on top of the inked part of the card. I made sure it had touched the oxide ink all over and then lifted it, blotting away the water on the surface with a clean dry cloth or kitchen roll. 

Next I removed the tape, rubbed over with an anti-static cloth and stamped and heat embossed the sketchy border, using versamark ink and silver embossing powder. 

on a seperate piece of card I stamped the dandedaisy in grey versafine clair ink and coloured it using ecoline markers. I then cut it out.

I trimmed the background panel slightly and attached it to the front of the blank 5x7" card, adding a stamped sentiment in grey versafine clair ink. 

Finally I added the dandedaisy using 3d foam pads.

I used:

Dandedaisy stamp set

Freehand Borders #1 stamp set

Small Words stamp set

Big ones inkable - I used botanical garden

Distress oxide inks - I used squeezed lemonade, tumbled glass, shaded lilac and spun sugar.

Versamark ink/ embossing ink

The Sun Will Rise...

 

Hi There! Thought I would share a bit of journaling with you today. Here's how it came together. 

I began by spraying the page with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide spray, Tarnished Brass Distress stain and Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz. 

When this was dry, I stamped clocks and cogs in Peacock Feathers Distress oxide ink across the page. 

Next, I added some script in Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink...

along with some stitchy borders and a little stencilling through a texture disc. 

In my stash I found some teal coloured parchment paper. I heat embossed the leaves on it before cutting them out. 

I stamped the rainbow bird and painted it using pastel shades of distress oxides.

Using Matte Medium, I attached the leaves and bird to the left page. 

On the right page I added a transparency sentiment.

Here is  the finished page again.

on a seperate piece of card I smooshed the Bundled sage and Victorian Velvet ink before stamping it with a Stitch in Time once more, using Versafine Clair. 

I cut out a few elements adding a little more Victorian Velvet ink...

and attached to the pages using Matte Medium.

Beautiful Butterflies!

 

Hi There! I am here today with a step by step tutorial for this journal page. 

I began by spreading matte medium over the page and adding scraps of map, music paper and book pages. I also added some tissue that had been used to mop up some distress oxide sprays (Wild Honey and Salvaged patina)

Next I smooshed some cracked pistachio over the whole page. 

Using the Dinkable from set 13, I added some uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide and inked around the edge of the page.

I also added some texture paste through the dinkable from set 2

Once the texture paste was dry I gave it a little spray with uncharted Mariner Distress spritz, tilting the page to make it run, before setting aside to dry.

On a separate piece of card I stamped the doodle art butterfly twice in Memento ink and coloured with alcohol markers. I cut these out.

using the stamp without an acetate block I added the antennae and body of the butterfly to the page twice. I also stamped a couple of one of the small worker stamps by the page edge.

Finally I added the butterflies, some white splatters, a wordy sticker and some gelly roll moonlight pen highlights to the page. 

Here is the page once more...

...and here is a close up of one of the butterflies.

I used:

5x5" notebook
