She was a dreamer ► Majo

 

Good morning, my dear friends.


Today I show you a card I created just for fun, no special occasion. I just needed some color in the dull light of the days in winter.

 

I applied distress ink to a watercolor panel and stamped my background images on top. The birds also got some texture with the “Writing and Scribble Collage” stamp.

 





Have fun crafting!


The Stamps I used:

Way Bill –
19416

Writing and Scribble Collage - 20695

Ray Silhouette - 19896

Sentiment 19635 from plate 1459


Luv ya ♥

Then I stamped all of my images and fussy cut them out.
I used  the impresslit die for the wings. I also stamped the cage on acetate once. I then Colored all of images. I used guliding wax on the wings. I wiped it on with my finger. Next I spattered on some brown ink and dried it and then I spattered some white ink. I then took my brown ink pad and inked the edges of the tag all around.
I then assembled all the parts together. I used foam tape on all except acetate cage front. I used a glow in the dark eye from my stash. last I stamped the barbed wire.  I painted the cage stand with metallic watercolor paints. That is all for this fun tag,

Just a bad day by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies ❤

Welcome back!

Today I have to share a new flip card.


Some close-ups:




And that's the way, I made it:

1.) First I choose a motif that I want to use. I stamp it with VersaMark and dust it with embossing powder.



2.) I position the stamp in the middle of the card. Embossed - the result is a great purple/gold glitter effect.



3.) I stamp more hearts on my sheet. I embossed these too. Then I add embossing powder randomly. I blow-dry this from the bottom so that the powder doesn't blow off the paper.I then color the entire sheet.



4.) After coloring, I add a few spritzes of shimmer spray and let it dry.



5.) Now that my background is finished, I stamp the same design again, cut it out and color it. Finally, I add a saying.



6.) My map is now almost finished. To make the heart stand out beautifully, I cover it with foam from behind. A little eyelet heart, a pretty crochet border and the flip card is ready.



All stamps, I used:

- Squiggle Heart

- It's just a bad day


other supplies:

- Watercolorpaper

- Cardstock

- Staz on

- VersaMark

- Embossing powder

- handmade watercolors

- crochet border

- eyelet


See ya soon  *mwah*

Fishy fun by Cathy N

 Goodmorning all, Cathy here with a fishy postcard for you today.


I started out with a watercolor postcard, and I used a blue distress oxide ink to make the background for my underwater postcard. 


I started with the sand dune to make the sand of the bottom of the sea. I colored them in with copic markers. I stamped the branch with leaves in some random spots on the bottom to look like seaweed.


Next, I stamped the angel fish  and the  striped fish on the background. I then stamped them again on white paper and colored them with copic markers and cut out and glued them where I had stamped them.


But before I glued the fish down, I stamped solid bubbles in the same blue distress ink I made the background from. 


                                                          Stamped Used:

                                                        10759 angel fish 

                                                        10766 solid bubbles

                                                        10767 branch with leaves

                                                        10760 striped fish

                                                        2558 sand dune

I started with the background, I sprayed distress stain saltwater taffy first.  Then spread it around with a paint brush. next I sprayed some lost shadow and last, black soot. I let them run the card as it stood up to get a blend.

Then I added some lumberjack plaid -red
Then I dried it with my heat tool. Next I cut out Poe and the Raven. The wings I've had in my stash but they were browns so I sprayed them with Black soot distress stain

I fussy cut everything out. The heart I added Glossy accents for that shine. The sentiment I typed up on my computer and added to the head stone. Painted Poe and the raven and used foam tape on some and just double stick tape on the rest.
