Make & Take Friday 4th December

I had some new stamps in from Hobby Art so decided to use them this week. The trees were stamped first then a mask placed on each one so that I could run the brayer over for the sky, with another mask for the moon.

This week everyone could chose what they wanted to do using this technique.
So here are my 2 samples.
Using a waterproof mat and Adirondack or Distress inks, rub 3 colours on the mat and then add a small spray of water then drag a piece of hite card through the inks, you will end up with a coloured piece of card, dry, then stamp using bleach as your ink, this will bleach out some of the colour on the card. Now stamp again slightly out of line with the bleach image using a co-ordinating ink. Then just build up your card.

Just quite a simple card for this week. The small trees are stamped on the inside of the card and the front is cut an inch smaller so that you can see them.

Make & Take Friday 11th September

The background has been made by spraying the card with Glacier Glimmer Mist. Once dry it has been stamped using Versamark then Cosmic shimmer mica powder brushed over so that it sticks to the Versamark, the butterflies were then stamped in Black Versafine and clear embossing powder, then coloured using the Cosmic Shimmer again mixed to a paste so you can paint with it.
I made several different versions of this card as I really like it.

Make & Take Friday 4th September

Today I thought I would bring the chalks back into use.
I have punched a large scalloped circle on a piece of scrap paper to use the punched hole as a template. Place template over a piece of white card and secure in place so it doesn't move, stamp the flowers and words using Versamark into the circle. Now use one colour of chalk and a cotton wool ball and pull in colour fro the edge , the colour will pick up more on the stamped area.
Trim the image and layer on to lilac then mauve card, the main card has been folded in half and then the front folded back, 4 pieces of card attached to each side then the image has been layered on top in the centre.

Make & Take Friday 28th August
