Make & Take Friday 23rd November

Here is my Make & Take card for this week.

I have stamped a Judikins branch around the edges using 2 different colour green inkpads then stamped again using Versamark and embossed with gold powder. The lamppost is from Creative Expressions stamped and embossed and coloured with Lyra Aqua colours and Pearl Ex palette.

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.

Come along today if you would like to make one of these cards or put your own ideas on to it.

A nice and easy card for this weeks Make & Take.

I have stamped the flower with Green Versafine then embossed it with Red Wow Embossing powder and sponged around the edges. The pink has been embossed with a Creative Expressions embossing folder.

I have used the lace that I have here at the shop, using 2 strips and threading ribbon through the holes.

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.

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.

Using a Brayer workshop

These cards have been made using a Brayer. I showed everyone different ways of using your Brayer, then we made these cards using some of the sample pieces.

This card has a flap that pulls out from a slit in the front of the card so that long picture then joins up.
