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

Hang in there

Good Morning everyone

Today is a card with aall&create octopus stamp - sadly the photos don't show up all the bling, the background is done with wink of stella pens and i gave it a gilded effect edge.

5x5 cardblank.  I first die cut a square of white card using the eyelet die, then i stamped the octopus in black and added extra stamping using grungy background stamps, mostly sticking to the diagonal.  I then coloured the background with blue and purple wink of stella pens so it really shimmers.  I added little dot stencilling with starlight rich gold paint, i also used the paint to edge the panel to give a nice gilded effect.

I stamped the octopus twice more, on one i coloured the body in oranges and the 2nd one just the hat in green, i then cut them out, gently curved and decoupaged onto the main image.  A little stamped sentiment and green stickles glitter dots to finish.

You can sort of see the shine on the gilded edge - these starlight paints have an amazing shimmer as do the wink of stella pens when the light hits them.  The 'hang in there' sentiment felt apt for the octopus with many 'arms' - its for a friend who is struggling at the moment as are alot of us i think....Im just taking it one day at a time

Items Used:

aall&create stamp - sea life

Various grungy background stamps

Small dots stencil

Imagination crafts starlight paint - rich gold & orange (this is also now called cadence 'dora' paint)

Stickles glitter glue - lime green

Wink of stella pens - blue, purple

Distress inks - twisted citron, marmalade, persimmon

Thank you for stopping by. I hope its a good week for you. Stay safe. Hugs Emmax

Male Get well Card

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are all having a good start to the week.  

So today its time for a new challenge over at   cardz4guyz

The theme this fortnight is

GET WELL SOON

Ive gone for making a CAS card with Katzelkraft stamps and brusho's.  

6x6 white cardbase.  I first computer printed the word sick onto white card, i then die cut that into a square, then working out where i wanted my sheep to be i added brusho powders to that area.  Once dry i stamped the sheep into place.  I stamped the sheep once more and cut out and decoupaged over the first one.  I left him mainly white to stand out against all the coloured background.  Just added a little colour to the eyes and horns. 

Then matted onto black card and then the cardbase.  I computer printed the rest of the sentiment in the same font, cut into a strip, layered onto black card and then added underneath the sheeps feet. 

Just a close up.  I added glossy accents to his eyes and horns.

Items Used:

Katzelkraft 'Farm Animal' stamp set

Tattered lace square dies

Brushos - turquoise & gambage

So please do pop over to cardz4guyz to see what everyone comes up with and join in.
