Lawn Fawn Just My Type......Using A Rainbow on Black

Well Hello Crafty Friends
Carrying on with the valentines theme today, I decided to play with a rainbow idea I've been thinking how to incorporate it into my design.
I love the little type writer stamp, and started playing with some ideas. This is what I came up with.


Products
Lawn Fawn Stamps Your Just My Type
Mama Elephant Circular Grid Die Plate
Distress Inks In Mustard Seed
Picked Raspberry
Peacock Feathers
Twisted Citron
Lawn Fawn Black Card Stock
Gina K Amaigam Ink
Neenah Card Stock 80lb
Alcohol Markers
Versa Mark or Embossing Pad
Wow White Embossing Powder (Detail)
Black Card Blank 4 1/2 x 5 3/4 (side folding)

Method


Firstly I die Cut out the Grid.

I then selected my inks

Using a blender brush I blended on my colours.

I then stamp out my images using my black in on to Neenah card stock.

Coloured them with alcohol markers

Die cut them with coordinating dies

Added my grid to a black card blank.I stamp the heart design in versa mark ink and embossed in the wow embossing powder.


I then added the die cuts and raised the desk, and the mouse on sticky foam pads. At this stage I was going to put my sentiment on a strip at the bottom of the card.But instead I decided to add it to the typewriter page as it looked better.

I hope you enjoyed today's blog post

Quick One Layer Design (Direct to Paper), Perfect For Valentines Or Just a Card To Say You Care.

Well Hello and Welcome,
Its that time of year when we start going back to our usual routines. No more festiveness. It's a shame those morning lie in are so good. Especially on dark cold mornings.
But alas, penny's need to earned and bills need paying so back it is.
The next big date on the card makers agenda, is Valentines Day. So the latest releases from the states are definitely on that theme.

One such set, is 
My Favorite Things, You Have My heart
 
I think this little lady and her dog are so cute.
Also I used
Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, and Crushed Olive.
I used a one layer technique, which I will explain.
Circle Mask or Paper with a Circle Die Cut Out.
Gina K Lipstick Ink
Alcohol Markers
Black Card (scrap)
Wow Detail White Embossing Powder
Little Things From Lucy's Cards Cherry Mix
6 x 6 Inch Card Blank
Glossy Accents
White Pen for Detail (stitching on dress)

Method
Stamp and mask your image straight on to the front of your card blank.(This is called one layer stamping as you are going straight on to card blank with no extra mat or layer.) 
Then I used a circle mask over the top. But you can easily make one, by die cutting one if your circle dies out of printer paper or masking paper.
I then using blender brushes, blended the sky and the grass with Distress oxides.
I left these to dry for a little time.
I then removed all masked coloured my image with alcohol pens. Stamped and embossed my sentiment added some stamped hearts. Glossy accents to the girls heart.
This is a very quick and easy design.

Also added my gems.
Lastly I add stitching to her dress, with a white jelly roll pen.

Happy Stamping
Jo
