Make & Take Friday 19th Jan 12, Artkure Iris

2012-01-29T13:04:00.002Z

This weekend I have gone back to using the Artkure brushes.

Here I have used an Artkure Iris stamp inked up once with colour and stamped twice then I sprayed the stamp with Pearl-Ex mixed with water and stamped another 2 then repeated and got 6 images, I did another batch and stamped 10 with 1 single inking.

Dry with a heat gun then use a water brush to pull in the colour,as these colours are water based you can use a clean brush and the colour will run, I used the palest one here as I wanted to stamp the words over the flower, then I brushed around the edge with green ink.

This is a pic of the 6 Iris's that I stamped first of all.

Club night - 8th November

2011-11-08T12:29:00.001Z

I have been playing with acetate and acrylic paints, so thought we might do this at club night tonight.

I took 2 pieces of card and placed drops of acrylic paint on to one of them, then smooshed the 2 card pieces together and dried ti off.

Stamped on to a piece of acetate then stuck double sided sticky sheet on the the back, added small pieces of gold leaf for the poinsettia and for the tree one I gently brushed on some mica powder on to the tree and then added the gold leaf and glitter.

They are then stuck on to the acrylic painted card.

You can't see the effect in the photo but they look really good in real life.

Foil Technique

2011-10-27T14:26:00.000+01:00

I have just been playing with a silver foil technique that I saw whilst browsing the web, using kitchen foil.

Take a 30cm x 30cm piece of foil and scrunch it into a ball, be careful as you need to undo it again.

Now flatten it out so it keeps all the creases, then roll over it with a brayer.

Now dab 2 or 3 colours of alcohol ink all over

Now dab a Vesamark ink pad all over(I found that the colour came on to my Versamark pad so I made my own using Glycerin on to a piece of "Cut n' Dry" pad, works just as well as a Versamark pad)

Then cover with embossing powder and heat.

Here are 3 samples that I have made.

the first on the left has been embossed using clear ep the centre has been embossed with Kaleidoscope ep and the last one on the right is using a clear glitter ep, although the glitter doesn't show uo in the photo but they do look lovely.

Make & Take Friday 21st Oct

2011-10-21T16:24:00.000+01:00

This week I have used Distress Stains with aCuttlebug folder.

Using a brass rubbing effect with a wax candle on to the back of the folder then rub over with the Distress Stain and then wipe with a baby wipe, then heat with a heat gun this will dry it off and also makes the wax disappear into the card ready for stamping.

Come along on Sunday if you would like to try it.

2 variations for this weeks

Make & Take.

The windmill is the original, then I decided to make it again with a tree at the left side, but a drop of bleach was dropped on it which is on the left side so had to do something else, so I made the greeting to cover it then added another tree and fences and the man & boy.

The background is made with Distress re-inkers and Perfect Pearl mica powder in blue, placed on to a mat then smooshed the card in it.

Then stamped using Faded Jeans Distress and Denim Adirondack inks.

This weekend we are making Easter cards.

I have a lot of sample pieces of backgrounds that I have made using inks and sprays and thought that this week I would use some of them.

I have chosen a background then stamped and embossed then using a water brush filled with bleach I have bleached out selected areas.

You never know how the bleaching is going to turn out which adds to the unpredictability of the card.

I have borrowed these crosses and think they have turned out very well.

Make & Take Friday 18th March

This week I have used the papers from Echo Park. The trees are on one sheet that you can cut into strips and get lots out of one sheet of paper, the others are all in the same range so they match each other, or you could use all those little left over pieces. I then stamped 3 flowers from Artemio and layered them with silicon so that they don't go flat.

Make & Take Friday 11th March

2011-03-13T22:10:00.000Z

A blue and pink card this week, the patterned paper is double sided so you could make it without the stripes, making them blue instead.

Quite an easy card this week.

I have just taken a soft patterned paper and stamped on it, added a little more colour using glitter pens, then it is just layered on to different colour card, white ribbon added. I then added the butterfly which is from the same set.

The stamp is from an Artemio set which can be found here--

Artemio Butterfly Collage set.

A couple of the girls who come regularly requested a mans' card for this week.

I first made the backgrounds by rubbing Adirondack and Distress inks on to a messy mat then sprayed with water that has Perfect Pearls blue mica powder added to it, then I dragged the card through it, the first sheet was covered completely and the second sheet was just picking up the remainder so it was more patchy, I have added sticky mesh in the corners and down the side of the background for added detail.

The lighthouse stamp is from Inkadinkado and the seagull is from Elusive Images.

Craft Club Night 11th January

Tonight at Craft Club we played with the Black Magic Technique.

Here are my 2 cards.

You need a solid stamp, black card, white Brilliance ink pad or

another white pigment ink.

On the blue card I have stamped the flower at random over the black card using the white ink, dry with a heat gun, then take water colour pencils and colour over the flowers, then take the white ink again and stamp a smaller stamp on top of the coloured image. I added some white dots and layered on to blue card that has been punched using a Martha Stewart punch.

On the lilac card I just used a single stamp, stamped using the white ink and coloured over the top, this time I coloured over the top of the colour using a white pencil to shade the petals and added white Inkssentials pen to highlight the flower centres and the stems, stamped the swirls and punched the corners, the lilac card base has been embossed using a Crafts Too embossing folder on to colour core card and then sanded lightly to show a different shade.

Our first card for the new year.

I didn't plan on an Easter card but a few people thought it looked like it.

I stamped and embossed on to glossy card, I rubbed ink from 5 different Distress ink pads on to a messy mat then sprayed them with water and then picked up the colour with a brush and stippled over the picture.

Trimmed and layered on to cream and blue swirly card.

Why not come along on Sunday to make this card for just £1.50

Here I have used the Hobby Art Tree, stamped it in silver on navy blue card.

I wanted to use the icicles that I cut out for last weeks card and didn't use them.

I have put silver and red dots of Stickles Glitter glue. It actually looks much better in real life as it glitters nicely.
