Smile card By Gemma

 Hello Everyone

For this post I wanted to share a small card with you. I thought this card was ideal just to drop a note to a friend to say smile we are thinking of you. 

Being a very messy crafter I always cut a piece of card to work

 on that I can then glue to the card blank. 

To start I added a small amount of white paint to some Dylusions Squeezed Orange and painted a layer over the card. I then placed three small amounts of the same paint onto my craft mat and added the tiniest amount of black paint to the first pile and an even tinnier amount to the second, the third I left as it was. With these paints I stamped the lace background over the card and sponged through the dot mask.

Once dry, which took no time at all, I stamped Lesleys sunflower stamp, so only a small section of the flower showed at the top and although more of the stamp can be seen at the bottom it still over hangs the card. 

I added the word smile from the framed words set and painted the flowers in using a mixture of the three paints, Orange, Black and white. Once it was totally dry I went around everything with a black pen and drew a wonky frame around the edge before gluing it in place on the card blank. 

Thank you for reading

Steampunk sardine can by Titbelsoeur

Hi there !
Playing with sardine cans this time, I have decided to make another one with this wonderful vintage stamp from the Collage Art 1 A5 plate. 
I have stamped it with Brown Archival ink on to a kraft piece of paper, and glued some cogs, screws, watch pieces and a cork. A washer at the bottom to have the can stable and a nut at the top :

Accordion fold card and box by Gemma

Hello Everyone 

This months challenge theme on The Blog and Facebook page is Monochromatic. Here is a little more inspiration, there is still plenty of time to join in the fun, we love looking at all your creations.

For the card I cut a piece of card stock to measure 37.5cm x 14.5cm I scored this at 7.7cm intervals along the top and burnishes all the score lines. The box is a little bigger with plenty of space for a small gift to be placed underneath the card. The card for the box measured 41cm x 14.5cm. This needs score lines at 3cm, 16cm, 3cm,16cm with 3cm left along the 41cm side, and 3cm score lines along the 14.5 side (fingers crossed that made some kind of sense). 

I brushed black and white Dylusions paint over both pieces of card, this blended together to give me lots of different shades of grey and white patches. I then randomly stamped both the Grid and Dots background stamps over the top using the black paint. 

After drying that off with my heat tool I sponged some white paint through the random dots mask, then I stamped one of the Dog Rose stamps designed by Lesley Mathewson over the top with Archival Ink.

Once everything was dry I used Posca paint pens to colour the flowers in orange for a hint of colour, I also used the same pens to add dots to the centre of the flowers. I finished off by going around the edges of the flowers with a black pen and adding a quote from Georgia O'Keefe.

Yesterday is History........In Pink by Debs

Hi Everyone


Here is my latest project in the monochromatic challenge!

With this tag i used just one distress ink for the whole tag.  

I used a large tag and covered it with Picked Raspberry

Next i took a selection of the new Artistic Stamper masks and again used the picked raspberry ink

I then stamped onto some book paper the new dog rose stamp from Lesley Mathewson and Yesterday is History..(stamp) and coloured them with picked raspberry

I also stamped some of the circles from the swirls and splats stamp

I then added some white pen to highlight the flowers and circles.

Thanks for popping by and looking forward to seeing more of your creations they are looking good so far!
