Using a Blending Brush, I added Whisper White ink to the centre of the panel using circular motions to blend the ink. I added Soft Succulent ink around the White area, the Evening Evergreen ink and finally Night of Navy ink around the outer edges to give some depth. I removed the Post It Notes and added the rectangle to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Bleached Daisies for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share blog hop where we are sharing anything we choose. I have decided to share a card made using the ‘bleaching’ technique.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the bleached daisies card, you will need;

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
So Saffron card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Soft Succulent card – 5⅛” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White

I mounted the large Daisy Garden stamp onto the Stamparatus plate and place the Soft Succulent panel onto the base.

I inked the stamp in Soft Succulent ink and stamped it down, I repeated this step until the image was dark enough. The soft succulent panel was left in position on the Stamparatus base.

Using a dry Blender Pen I began to colour in the flowers using bleach. I love the effect this gives.

When the bleach was dry, I inked up the stamp again with the Soft Succulent ink and stamped again over the top of the flowers to give the image more definition.

I glued the stamped panel to the So Saffron panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of the gorgeous Gold Shimmer Ribbon around the layer, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was added to the Evening Evergreen card base using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The white tag looked so bright against the stamped image so I inked up the Daisy Garden stamp in Soft Succulent ink, stamped it off on scrap paper and stamped it over the sentiment. Much better. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Box of Pansies for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I am sharing the sweet box of pansies I have made for my Mum’s birthday tomorrow. I used a Youtube video by Sally Stampers as my inspiration

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the box of pansies, you will need:

Early Espresso card – 7” by 3” – scored on the long side at 1” and 3”
Early Espresso card – 7” by 4” – scored on the long side at 4” and 6”
Early Espresso card – 5” by ½” x 2 – scored at either end at ½”
Basic White 3 ½” by 3 ½”
Evening Evergreen card – ⅛” by 3” strips – about 10
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 2” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 4”
Pansy Petals dsp – the sheet of leaves
Scrap Basic White

Placing the short end of the larger piece of Early Espresso card at the top of the Trimmer, score lines nearest the top. I cut at 2” down to the 2nd score line. This will leave a 4” by 4” piece which will be the back panel of the box and a side piece measuring 3” with a score line in the middle.

A beautiful box of pansies for my Mum's birthday and for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Fold and burnish the score lines on both the large Early Espresso panels. Adhere the panels together using the 1” tabs using a strong glue, I used Tear and Tape. This forms the box.

Fold and burnish the ½” tabs on the tin strip of Early Espresso card and attach these inside the box. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to do this so that I could manoeuvre them into position.

Using a Blending Brush I added soft Succulent ink to the smaller Basic White card panel. I concentrated the colour in the centre of the piece and left darker and lighter areas.

I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in Versamark ink onto scrap Evening Evergreen card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. I trimmed it down and flagged the end before adding it to the card front.

Blended Hand-penned Birthday card for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

It is time again for our monthly Ink & Inspirations blog hop and our theme this month is ‘Sweet Suite’. So many lovely suites to chose from…….…. such a hard decision. Eventually I settled on the Hand-penned Suite and made a simple blended hand-penned birthday card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Blended Hand-Penned birthday card, you will need:

Mint Macaron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Highland Heather – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – Rounded upper left corner
Hand-Penned dsp – 4 ½” by 2”
Scrap Basic White

I used Highland Heather ink to stamp the sentiment onto one of the panels of Basic White card.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped piece to the Highland Heather layer and using the same glue mounted the panel to the Mint Macaron card base.

I accidently used a retired tag topper punch to shape the top of the gorgeous piece of Hand-penned dsp – a senior moment I fear …….. you could use either the Fancy Tag Topper Punch or the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

I added a piece of the Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon to the top of the tag and added it, at an angle to the card front.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the lovely floral spray onto scrap Basic White card and coloured it in using the Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and Flirty Flamingo Blends Markers.

The coloured piece was added on Dimensionals to the card front. To finish the card, I added a trio of Genial Gems.

Such a pretty card, I hope you like it. Please hop on to see what my fellow demonstrators have to share with us today.
