5 x 7" Card Blank

Method

First stamp out your sentiment in versafine ink. make sure you heat set it. Using a blending brush in a circle motion create a back drop for your die cuts in Aqua  Sky.

Die cut the Watering can out Dove cardstock. Using a detailed blending brush add Dove ink around the watering can. Leaving a lighter middle to the can. Stick this at an angle allowing room for your box of flowers.

Die cut out all your pieces from your cardstock. 

Add shading with inkpads, using a shade darker than the cardstock to give more dimension.

Stick die cuts together, at this point I added black dots to the box and gold pen when they were dry.

I added lines like water coming out of the watering can, and coloured the heart. I used a distress marker to add wood effect to the box.

  Lastly I added Enamel dots to flower centres and Using a black jelly roll to the holes to the spout. 

I do hope you enjoyed todays blog.

Mixing And Matching Old And New Products 2018 & 2022 From Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends,

With so many releases, you often over look what you have. As a designer my stash is organised by brands. I love nothing more than mixing Old and New products to make a project. It means just because a stamp set is older it can be teamed up with a currently released item. Have you notice all the company's have their own style. So there products work in partnership with each other.

Today I show you an example using old and new products from lawn fawn.

Sunflower Cardstock (Lawn Fawn)

White Cardstock 110lb (Neenah or Similar)

Copic's in BG1, R81 and R85 (or Similar)

Nuvo Drops In Various Colours To Match Paper Pad.

Memento or Similar Alcohol Marker Safe

Method

Die cut three white cardstock "Get Well Soon" dies. Then one out of Sunflower Cardstock.

Glue each layer together to create a thick sentiment. 

While the sentiment was drying I cut my cardstock to fit a 6" x  6" card blank. I cut it at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" so to give a slight white boarder around the paper. I then added my sentiment to the middle of my card.

This is where I decided to go through, my lawn fawn products to see if I had some thing to finish of this card. Finding stamps that worked as you can see. i stamped out the tissue box in alcohol friendly ink and used my markers to colour the image in.

Lastly I added a few Nuvo drops, choosing colours that worked well with the papers.

Shader Blending Brushes (Waffle Flower)

https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/waffle-flower/products/shader-brush-1-10pk-wf?variant=39835856044114

Method

Line up your stencil 1 with your smooth card stock and attach with tape or magnets.

Start a the top, then work down

I choose a rainbow order.  

Place the second stencil over the egg image and line up the pattern and cover with a thin line of glimmer paste. 

Remove stencil straight away and rinse it.

Leave your eggs to dry. I leave mine over night but it takes a few hours

Stamp out your sentiment and use your shader brushes to add colours to the sentiment strip, buff off oxides to keep black sentiment visible.

I do hope you have a Lovely Easter and I'll be back next week with a little bit of die cutting.

Happy Paper Crafting
