Make & Take Friday 11th March

Here is the card for this week. I have used an embossing folder for the background and rubbed over the surface with a flat piece of Cut N Dry foam and the ink picks up more on the higher pattern, I then dried it off with a heat gun and then rubbed a Versamark ink pad over the top and added clear embossing powder which really high lighted the embossed design.

Something a little different here for the background.

Tear out the centre of a piece of paper then place it over a C6 piece of white card 

and stamp the words through the hole.

Now use the middle piece as a mask over the words and stamp around the edge, trim and sponge gently.

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the navy card and wrapped white ribbon around it.

Cut out 2 extra flowers and placed them in the top left corner. the flower stamp is from Inkadinkado and the words from Hero.

Quite a simple card this week.

I have used the same Martha Stewart edge punch for the border and the corners.

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.

Make & Take Fri 30th April

Again a very popular card yesterday.
2 pieces of white card have been layered, the lacy edge has been punched from white card using a Martha Stewart punch and stuck behind the card.
