Hope this brightens your day...

Good Morning everyone

I wanted to make a card for my uncle whos having grueling treatment.  Id decided i wanted to do an exploding insert so started with deciding on a paper for that, I picked one with wild flowers with the idea of a meadow for my aall&create fox stamp.

6x5.5" white card base.  I first folded and added my insert (see pic below).  I then stamped the fox onto white cardstock twice, one i die cut with spellbinders labels 1 die and lightly inked the edges with salty ocean and evergreen distress inks.  On the 2nd fox stamped image i watercoloured the fox with wild honey & vintage photo distress inks and the flowers i added a colour with shaded lilac, i cut out the fox and the 2 smaller flowers and decoupaged onto my main image.  I matted this onto spellbinders fancy label 1 die cut from rose gold satin card. 

 I used off cuts from the paper i used for my insert and added down the left and right edge of the card front and mounted my topper with foam tape.  Computer printed sentiment mounted onto rose gold satin card and then the base with glue gel.  Glossy accents added to the foxes glasses to finish. 

and showing the insert.  I computer printed my sentiment and die cut into an oval and added a plain oval to the bottom to write my greeting on.  

Items Used:
aall&create stamps 'in the wild'
12x12 paper pad from the works 'botanical garden'
Spellbinders grand labels 1 & fancy grand labels 1
Stitched oval dies
Distress inks
Crafters companion rose gold satin card

Fantastic Mr Fox

 Good Morning everyone

Today im sharing another card made with 2 of the stamps from the aall&create 'in the wild' stamp set, teamed up with one of my gelli print backgrounds.  This is the last one i made in the batch with these stamps, its a bit more girly with more pink, orange & gold for a lovely craft friend.

8x8" white cardbase.  I cut a smaller frame from white card and my grand circle dies and a mount/mat layer a s a smaller circle from chocolate brown cardstock, i went with brown as id stamped the images in dark brown.

I took my gelli print background and stamped the fox where i wanted it and then mounted the background behind my frame with foam tape and added to the base.  I stamped the fox again onto white paper and a piece of paper id cleaned my brayer on while doing a batch of gelli backgrounds so it had soft pink and orange tones. I then fussy cut the coloured flowers and the white fox and glued flat onto the base image, having the flowers overhanging the frame.  I stamped and added another flower to the top right and a butterfly from the stamp set stamped on white and added with glue gel.

After finishing the white frame felt too stark so i added a little stencilling with the pink & orange paints used on the flowers to tie it in. Glossy accents added to the foxes glasses and nose to finish.
Trying to show the shimmer of the gold paint i used on the gelli print.  I used a 6" round gelli plate and various stencils with green & blue acrylic paint for the base, it also picked up a light hint of pink and orange id used on a previous print so that also ties in with the colours on the flowers.  I used the gold paint through a flower stencil.

Items Used:
aall&create stamps 'in the wild'
6" round gelli art plate
Various stencils, lavinia, thats crafty
Pebeo & daleryrowney acrylic paint
Decoart gold paint

The rabbit and the fox

Good Morning everyone

For todays card, Ive used 2 of the images from the aall&create set called 'In the wild'  The fox and rabbit are enjoying all the summer foliage & flora in the fields....mind you the speed the rabbits are eating my parents garden there might be so many flowers, the deer too like eating all the new shoots and went along and trimmed the tops off all the leeks😁

8x8" kraft base card, i also die cut a frame from kraft card using my very old spellbinders grand labels 1, this i mounted onto the card front with foam tape.  I made a background on white card with green brusho's and green pixie powder which i also splashed onto the kraft card so it shimmers when the light hits it. 

I die cut my background to fit in my frame and stamped the rabbit and fox in place, going off the edges, i stamped them again onto white card. I glued the background into the frame.  On the white versions i left the fox & rabbit white and watercoloured the flowers and foliage with distress inks, cut them all out and built up on the base image with the flowers overlapping the edges.

To break up the kraft card and pick up on the white of the characters i used a posca white paint pen to add dots around the frame.

Glossy accents added to the eyes and noses.  Katzelkraft sentiments stamped onto white, cut out and arranged to finish.

Close up on Mr Fox, i love his spectacles

and close up on Mr Rabbit with his fab bow tie

Items Used:
Aall&create stamps 'in the wild'
Katzelkraft Sentiment stamps
Spellbinders grand labels 1 dies
Brusho's
Cosmic shimmer pixie powder
Distress Inks
White posca pen
Kraft card
Ranger glossy accents

Winter wonderland

Good Morning everyone

Another small batch of Christmas cards using lavinia stamps on soft gold pearl cardstock....I am slowly making a dent in my coloured cardstock😀


approx size 5x7" I first die cut my base card from soft gold pearl cardstock using crealies arch dies, and cut a smaller panel.  From the smaller panel i die cut a bauble shape from the middle. To the outside frame panel i stencilled snow with tumbled glass oxide ink and stamped fir trees with green archival ink and i added this frame to the base card with 3d foam.  

On the bauble i first stamped the wolf, then using paper masks i stamped the first trees to build up a little scene aroun him.  I added shading to ground the wolf and trees with black soot distress ink and a grey inktense pencil. I glued the bauble flat into the frame after inked the edges with the blue oxide ink.

I stamped the berries onto more pearl card, coloured red and added glossy accents and cut out, these i arranged at the top of the bauble to sort of give the effect the bauble is hanging from them.

I stamped the quote of more gold pearl card, cut out and added.  Glitter glue highlights to finish
A close up, you can make out the glitter here.  I love how the pearlescent still shines through when the light hits it.   

Version 2 is the 2nd fox in the stamp set

Version 3 is using 2 hares

Items Used:
Lavinia stamps - 'fox set 2' 'wild hares' 'fir tree' 'winter berries' 'seasons change'
