WLS June Mid month

Good Morning all.

Its half way though June and time for more inspiration over at We Love Stamping - still plenty of time for you to join in and a chance to win lots of lovely prizes to help celebrate their 15th birthday.  The theme is fabulous florals or you can use the anything goes option

Ive used my well loved crealies XL arch dies to make my card blank for burnt orange cardstock.  I stamped the image twice and die cut the base layer into an arch and stencilled on umbrellas with gloss paste. Once dry I inked the edges with tumbled glass and salty ocean distress inks.  I took a stencil with a sun like circular swirl and inked through with yellow distress inks and then added diamond stickles over the top to give the effect of the shining sun.  

I then watercoloured the 2nd flowers with distress inks and cut out just the flower heads and decoupaged with glue gel onto the base image.  I then matted this onto a larger white arch and then the base card.

In my stash i found these bees left over from previous project which were the ideal finishing touch.

You can just make out the stencilling here, the umbrellas are a soft mint colour and the glittering circular sun

Items Used:

aall&create stamp set #529 'in the wild'

Chocolate baroque stamps 'honey bee'

Funky fossil umbrella stencil

Circular sun stencil

Cosmic shimmer glossy glaze 'spring mint'

Distress Inks - squeezed lemonade, wild honey, ripe persimmon, vintage photo, cracked pistachio, evergreen bough, tumbled glass, salty ocean

Good Morning everyone

Today is a little get well card using this happy dog image from aall&create and umbrella stencil from funky fossil which i was lucky enough to win in a challenge

5x7" white card blank.    I inked through the umbrella stencil with oxide inks in a rainbow effect and then die cut into a rectangle, i matted onto grey pearl cardstock die cut rectangle and then the base card. 

I stamped the dog onto white card and watercoloured with distress inks, i cut him out & attached to a small white die cut rectangle with glue gel and matted onto more of the grey pearl and added to the base.  Stamped sentiment die cut into inverted scallop circle and added with glue gel. 

I added 5 raindrop shaped AB gems to finish to give the effect of falling rain.

april showers - shaker card

 Good Morning all and welcome to another Monday.

So today over at Make My Monday we have a new challenge.  'APRIL SHOWERS'  Anything to do with rain.  If you fancy joining in and seeing what the rest of the design team have created please do pop over using the link above or in my side bar. 

So i decided to make a get well shaker card using umbrellas and rain drops.

A5 card size.  First i die cut my umbrella's and then dry embossed using a raindrops embossing folder.  Backed the umbrella apertures with acetate and  added foam tape around each umbrella.  3 colours of micro beads and backed with pale blue pattern paper.  Iridescent sequins for water drops.  I cut the spellbinders get well sentiment twice to fit the card.  I then edged the umbrellas and card with stickles glitter glue. 

Close up of the shaker part, i added different colour micro beads to each one. Typical that we had non stop rain while i was trying to take the photos, so they are a tad dull.

Items Used:   Creative Expressions 'raindrops' embossing folder

Xcut vintage icon dies for the umbrella

Orange, purple and pink micro beads

Spellbinders delites sentiments four (SP-S2140)

Distress ink 'peacock feathers'

Thank you for stopping by, we look forward to seeing your enteries over at 

Make My Monday

  

Wishing you all a wonderful week. Emma
