Just for Fun!

Hi all, I'm back today with a couple of cards made for fun -  I'm feeling inspired after a 6 week hiatus, and I am trying to keep my crafty side going!

 I made some panels a little while ago, playing with my newly bought inks by Dylusions.

For this citrussy coloured card, I sparyed some Lime Zest and Jade Green inks onto my craft mat, added some pearlescent pigment powder to it and pressed my card stock into it. I love the effect, but I am not sure how to stop the pearly pigment coming off onto my hands, if anyone can advise me I'd be very grateful!

I matted this panel onto a silver mirri card, attached to a card base, and stamped a Uniko Studios sentiment around the edge in Memento London Fog.

For my next card I used the same technique, but with the colours of London Blue and Funky Fuschia.

The sentiment is also by Uniko Studios.

I have several more snippets of these coloured inky panels, so I may make a few more to have in my stash for future occasions.

Thanks for stopping by,

Less is More

Hello again, two posts in one day! I made a card for last weekend's Less is More challenge on Sunday, and didn't get round to blogging it, as I'm day off today, I'm having a catch up! The theme this week is purple - I have used Brushos with resist stamping using Visible Image stamps.

I masked the butterfly, and stamped several times and embossed in clear embossing powder. I then sprinkled on the purple brushos, and spritzed with water.

I then matted onto some silver mirri card, and attached to a card base, added another Visible ~Image sentiment, and voila, card made!

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm off for a lie down after all this blogging!

Brushos and Visible Image

Hi all, it's been a long time since my last blog post, I've been busy one way or another, and have not felt much like crafting. Well, I got my stamps and brusho paint crystals out at the weekend, and had a dabble, to kick start my mojo.

I created the background using Ultramarine Brushos on wet watercolour card, and left to dry. I then had a tinker about with stamping with water and adding the brushos to it, but it didn't work too well with this splashing horse image, I think it may be too detailed. So I then tried stamping with the Brusho paint, and it worked a treat!

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark, and embossed twice using gold detail embossing powder, then added some specks of shabby white embossing enamel over the top.

I matted onto a piece of  blue swiss dot bazill card, and attached to a card base.

A nice quick card (minus drying time) and flat for posting too!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

That's Crafty - The Sea (the horse is splashing in the sea)

Sentiment stamp and horse stamp are by Visible Image.
