One Stencil~ 2 Cards

Good Morning

Today, I am again playing with the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

THREE FEATHERS

Both cards use the same colours and technique on my Gel Plate.

So, here's what I did to create my cards.

• I began by getting out my Gel Plate. I like to use my Distress Oxide inks on my plate....super easy cleanup.  So, I got out my Cracked Pistachio and my Broken China DOX pads and pressed the ink directly onto the plate. Using my brayer, I blended the colours together.
• I placed one of the feathers from the Three Feathers stencil onto my plate and then rubbed over it with a piece of white cardstock to pick up the print.  YOU CAN SEE THAT IN CARD #2
• I removed the stencil and then rubbed over the plate again with another piece of white cardstock. CARD #1
• I took CARD #1 and stenciled the feather using the same ink colours right over to the side of the print.
• I stamped the same sentiment on both cards and then added them to white A2 sized card bases.

Welcome

Today's card features a lovely new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

THREE FEATHERS

It's a nice one and offers some good layering options.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by finding this piece of blue and white patterned paper in my stash. I placed the shadow feather from the Three Feathers stencil over to the left hand side of my paper and inked it up with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
• I moved the stencil over, positioning another one of the feather images over the shadow and inked again with some Cracked Pistachio and some Salty Ocean DOX ink.
• Next I placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment along the side with some Versafine Clair black ink.
• Using my black Posca pen, I splattered just over the feather image to add more interest.
• I glued my finished card front onto a piece of white cardstock and then a piece of blue and then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• To finish my card off, I added some black gems around the sentiment.

Complementary Colours- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Welcome

I can't believe that it is September already...wow, that summer when so quickly!

Happily though, it's time for a new theme at the 

CAS WATERCOLOUR CHALLENGE

This month our theme is Complementary Colours.

Here is a colour wheel to help you with that:

We are so happy to welcome our special guest this month

  Anita (Stampin with Anita)

So onto my card details.

I decided to use green and red as my complementary colours.  Now usually you would think Christmas, but I wanted to go for something else.

So, I got out this fun Peacock Feathers stamp and my Brushos.  I placed my paper into my Misti then I diluted some green and red Brushos with water to activate the pigments and painted onto the stamp with a paint brush.

I also sprayed the stamp with water to help further activate the colour and help them blend together.

I concentrated most of the greens to the bottom and the reds to the top, that way the colours wouldn't muddy up and make brown.

The Misti is an invaluable tool to use with this technique as you can repeat painting the stamp until you are happy with the results and coverage you have.

While that dried, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and white heat embossed it.  I pop dotted it over the dry image and mounted it onto a white card base.

I hope you come and play along with us.

One Stamp- Two Cards

Happy Saturday!

Just recently I noticed there is a new challenge in town, so I wanted to give it a try since it sounded like fun.

The challenge is called Twofer....make 2 cards for different occasions using the same stamp.

So here's what I came up with.

 

Card #1

 I created the first card as one of encouragement that could be used for many different occasions.

I placed this wonderful feather stamp into my Misti and coloured directly onto my stamp using Tombow markers.  I sprayed with water then pressed onto my paper.

I repeated that process until I was happy with the colour blends.

When it was all dry, I stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed it to help it pop.

 Card #2

I created my second card as a birthday card, more masculine feeling and monochromatic.

Instead of stamping the whole feather, I masked off my card front on an angle, stamped the feathers with gray ink on the left side using my Misti, then turned the feather and stamped again to the side.

 I used my ScorBug to add a dotted perforated line to help add interest.

It was fun to see what I could come up with using the same stamp.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
