Frantage card

Here is a card that I have made this week, I was playing around with some new Dylon colours that I brought  and made quite a few backgrounds, I then decided to do the Frantage effect on one of them, this is the background on the left, adding some different colour Stampendous embossing powders and glass glitter.

Club Night 11th September

This week we were using plastic templates from Crafters Workshop with Pearlescent and irredescent paint mediums, we made some lovely effects, here are just 2. I have combined a background that we made from a previous club night along with the new background.

I have used Distress stain to colour the paper.

Come along on Friday or Sunday and you can make this card.

Make & Take Friday 17th June

I have made this weeks card in sepia tones, stamped the dandelion clock on to printed vellum, used a glue pen to place dots of glue on the reverse so that it could be stuck on to the beige card. When the card was finished I added diamond stickles and a gem in the corner.

The background has been stamped around the edge then sponged over.

Come along on Sunday if you would like to make this card.

Make & Take Friday 10th June

I have made another variation on Friday's card using an iris stamp and changing the main colour at the back. The patterned paper is reversible so I used the other side.

Make & Take Friday 10th June

On the card for this Friday I have used Distress Stains, just dabbing 3 colours on to a white card then I dabbed it with a baby wipe to blend them together and give a little texture, I then stamped and embossed the tulips then bleached them. I have used Sticky Mesh on the green card.

Make & Take Friday 1st April

This card would be ideal as a moving home card 

but I have just left it with a general greeting.

The background has been stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder, then sponged over with brown ink and polished with a clean piece of kitchen towel to make the embossing look a bit sharper.

Make & Take Friday 11th February

I have used a mottled background paper for the background and stamped the swirls at random using a brown dye ink.

Stamped and embossed the dragonfly image, sponged around the edge and mounted it on to brown card.

Craft Club Night 23rd September

Here is another card using the men's stripy background.

Make & Take Friday 20th August

Another technique this week, Stamp the flowers in Versamark and emboss with clear powder, now take 3 colours of dye based ink and put patch of each colour then spray with a mix of Mica powder in water ,I have used gold Pearl-Ex. then drag the white card through the puddle, you may need to do it several times to cover the white card. I then sponged extra colour around the edges. The flowers on the front are painted with Pearl-Ex palettes. The stamps are a clear set from Kars.

Make & Take Friday 23rd Oct

The dragonfly on the bull rush has been stamped using Stazon then coloured using chalks.
