Hello everyone!!
Today I have a CAS card for you. I used one of the new set of stamps I got last month.
I stamped the butterfly with Memento black ink and colored it using distress inks (Mustard seed, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo). I colored the label panel and the front of the card the same way, and I rounded the corners.
I cut a white piece of cardstock and I scored the pattern using the scoring board. I stamped the sentiment and I colored some pearls to use on the card.
To give shine to the butterfly, I use Spiced Marmalade ink sprayed with Perfect Pearls water as watercolor on the borders of the butterfly, and I added some Glossy Accents. You can see it in this picture.
Hope you liked it and thank you for stopping by!!
Hi everyone!!
I had a nice crafting weekend and I got a couple of cards done, I loooove those weekends!
I have tons of cards ideas in my head right now, but not enough time to make them all, so lets start sharing, so I can go back to card making before my mojo goes out the door!!!
Lots of silhouette and hero arts on this card. First I engraved the cloud background from hero arts, and colored around the clouds using chalks. Then I cut the waves and stamped them using the magical background stamp with broken china distress ink. I colored the cardstock using the same ink and the ink aplicator, and I darkened the edges with Chipped Sapphire.
The boat is a design from Hero Arts for the Silhouette. I cut it and colored it using Distress inks (Weathered wood, Pumice stone, Black soot and Fired Brick for the flag). To finish it I cut a sun and some hearts and colored them with distress inks too (Fired brick, Mustard Seed and Spiced marmalade).
I didnt have a sentiment that I could use with this card, so I took Harold's ABCs from Lawn fawn and I created my own and stamped it with Memento black ink.
Then I glued everything onto the front of the card and covered the hearts and the windows on the boat with Glossy Accents. When I glued the boat, I put part of it on dimensionals, so it would look like is coming of the page.
Ok, sorry for the long post, and I hope you liked it. Thanks for stopping by!!
Hello!!
Today's card was so much fun to make. I love this technique, but I rarely use it, so it was a nice change.
I took a piece of kraft cardstock and I stamped the Old Writing from Hero Arts with white StazeOn ink. Then I stamped the Large Cling Flower from HA too with Versamark and embossed it with silver pearl powder.
I used color pencils on the flower and blend them with methylated spirits. I stamped the sentiment with Memento black ink and added some pearls. I mounted the panel on grey cardstock and I scored a frame on the card base.
I love this technique because it gives the coloring so much depth, I definitely have to make more of this.
Hope you liked it!
Hello!!
I am soooo tired today, that this is going to be a quick post. Sorry!!
Here is the card:
For this card I tried a technique I saw in Jennifer's blog. I used acrylic paint to stamp the flowers and when it was dry, I inked over the entire card using distress inks. That is a very cool technique cause the stamped flowers resisted the ink. Then I die cut a scalloped oval from it, to have a place for the sentiment.
I felt like using some stickles to give it some shine.
OK, time to go now!
Have a good night(or day) and see you tomorrow!!
Hiya!!
Did you have a nice couple of days? My weekend was exhausting! But it was definitely a good one. Today I am sharing with you a card I made last week:
First of all I cut a circle mask and the circle frame with my silhouette. I used the mask to stamp the Daisy Outline Pattern (Hero Arts) with Memento black ink onto the blue cardstock. I stamped it again a couple of times in white cardstock and colored some of the flowers with my Promarkers. Then I colored the circle frame with Mustard Seed distress ink and glued it around the design. I used the same ink to distress the edges of the blue panel, and I used my scissors to rough the edges. After I hand cut the colored flowers, I glued the small ones using a glue pen, and for the big ones I used dimensionals of different sizes.
The sentiment is from Lawn fawn, but it was the thank you stamp they sent with the order, so I don't know if it has a name ; ).
Then I added some twine, a button, some rhinestones and for the colored flowers, I used Diamond stickles for the centers.
Thank you for checking the blog, and see you tomorrow!!
Hi everyone!!
Ready for the weekend?? I have a bit of a crazy weekend coming up, so I don't think I will get a lot of time for crafting, but I still have a couple of cards to share with you.
First of all, I should tell you that last month it was my birthday, and I got lots of new crafty things, that I am using on the new cards. You will see them all at some point ( I hope!).
On today's card, I used tons of stuff.
As you can see, I used another one of the robots, from the Robot trio set from Hero Arts. In the background I stamped with Weathered wood distress ink the Envelope Pattern (loooooove it), and as you can see I masked off the edges of the card. I scored some lines on the card using my brand new Martha Stewart scoring board (another.... loooove it). The sentiment is from Hero Arts, from the set Find Joy, but I cut it in half, so I could use it in 2 lines instead of just one. I rounded the corners of the front panels using the corner chomper (another present from my lovely hubby). Am I spoiled or what?? haha.
I coloured the robot using my promarkers, and then cut it and put it on the card on dimensionals. Added some glossy accents and some faux stitching in white and it was done!
Hope you liked it, have an awesome weekend and I will be here on Monday with another card!!!
Hiya!
I have another card to share with you today.
Although this card seems simple, it took me a long time because of the flower. I painted it with promarkers, and it took me a couple of tries to get it right. Soooo frustrating!!! Anyway, I got to use my new stamp from Hero Arts, the Large Fabric Design, and I looooove it!!!!
Hope you liked it!!!!!
Hi everyone!!
If there is anyone still out there!! Im sorry it took me soooo long to get back to blogging, but life just got in the way... I guess I will have to make it up to you with more cards.
Anyway, last week it was my hubby's birthday and I made him this card:
It is a zigzag card, inspired by Jennifer McGuire. She showed how to make this type of cards on the online class summer card camp. I signed up for the class, but didnt have time to participate. It was a shame! But now I have lots of color combos and sketches to try!!!
The stamps I used on this card are from Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn. The robot was stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Promarkers. I got my first small set of promarkers for my birthday, so I am just learning, but they are a lot of fun! The white pannels were cut using my silhouette.
Ok, I hope you liked it and see you tomorrow with another card!!
Hi everyone!
It's me again! It has been ages since I blogged last, but I was ill last week, and really didnt feel like doing anything. So I haven't done much crafting and I don't have a lot to share. Hopefully this week will be a bit more productive!
