A Quick and Simple card

 

Hi There! I am here with a very simple card this morning. 

I began by stamping a curvy line of the small flower across the page in 4 shades of versafine clair inks

Next I used the freehand border stamp to add some pink lines below the line of flowers. 

I stamped the sentiment in Hawthorn Rose ink in the top white section and sponged a little ink around the panel. I also added gold centres to the flowers using a gelly roll pen

Finally I attached the panel to the front of a 6x4" white card blank. 

I used:

Doodle Art Blooming Blooms stamp set

Freehand Borders #1 stamp set

Mixed Messages #3 stamp set

Versafine Clair ink - I used Bali Blue, Baby Pink, Arctic, Very Peri and Hawthorn Rose

Gold Gel Pen

6x4" white card blank and white card 5.5 x 3.5"

I coloured the flowers using ecoline brush pens.

Ode to a tree

 

Hi There! With Autumn approaching fast, I thought I would get out the sycamore leaf easy frame and make an autumnal card this week. Here is how I did it.

I began by blending fossilized Amber and Crushed olive distress oxide inks through the outie of the inkable, onto a 5" square ivory card.

Next I added more leaves, offset form the first ones in Ripe Persimmon, crackling campfire and vintage photo distress oxide

I inked up the crackle stamp with tea dye distress ink and stamped it in patches over the inked background. I also sponged some around the edges of the card

Next, I randomly stamped one of the mandala stamps from set 1 over the background in Vintage photo Distress ink. 

On a scrap of ivory card I stamped the sentiment from Wordage Ticker Tape set 1 in Pinecone Versafine Clair ink and cut it out.

Using sticky pads and some matte medium I added the sentiment and some coordinating sequins to the leafy background. 

Here is the finished card again. 

I used:

4" Sycamore Leaf Easy Frame Inkable

Distress oxide inks in Crushed olive, fossilized amber, Ripe Persimmon, Cracking Campfire and Vintage Photo

Free as a Bird

 

Hi There! As a little inspiration for this month's challenge over in the Bee Crafty Facebook group I have made this simple card. Here is what I did...

I began by masking a border around the 5x5" square card using stamp and stencil tape.

next I blended peacock feathers and wilted violet distress ink across the white space

I used one of the latest dinkables from set 12 to layer over some more peacock feathers ink.

Next I stamped the row of mini rainbows from the Bee mine set along each side using wilted violet.

I stamped and cut out the largest rainbow bird and used the same inks to watercolour him
