Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the lovely you card, you will need:

Granny Apple Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Melon Mambo card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5 ¾” by 3½” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 2½” by 2½”

I die cut a stitched circle from the smallest piece of Basic White card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I placed the die cut circle onto the smaller piece of Basic White card and roughly drew a circle around it.

I stamped the leaves and flowers in Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay ink, taking care to position the ends inside the pencil circle. I then ran the stamped panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

The sentiment form the Cottage Rose stamp set was inked up using a Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo marker. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down on the die cut circle.

Brewed in Monochrome card

Posted on July 13, 2022June 27, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I have used the Brewed For You stamp set to make a sweet brewed in monochrome card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the brewed in ombre card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”

I began by stamping the glass randomly all over the Crumb Cake panel in Crumb Cake ink. I wrapped some Very Vanilla Twine around the panel before it was added to the Crumb Cake card front using Mini Glue Dots. I wanted a little height but not as much as Dimensionals would give. Mini Glue Dots were the perfect compromise.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A brewed in monochrome card made using the brewed For You stamp set for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

The Deckled Rectangles Dies were used to cut rectangles from the small pieces of Soft Suede and Very Vanilla card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A brewed in monochrome card made using the brewed For You stamp set for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink at the bottom of the rectangle. The glass was then stamped above in Early Espresso ink onto the die cut vanilla rectangle and the liquid added in Soft Suede ink. I added the bubbles using the same ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A brewed in monochrome card made using the brewed For You stamp set for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

The stamped rectangle was glued to the Soft Suede deckled rectangle. I had a Gold Foil hexagon on my desk, cut for another project using the Beautiful Shapes Dies and not used. I cut the hexagon in half and glued these to the top and bottom of the topper piece.

Pair of Ducks Anniversary Card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on July 12, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects using water colouring techniques. I have used the sweet image of a pair of ducks from the Stylish Sketches stamp set to make an anniversary card.

Using one of the leafy sprigs from the Ringed With Nature stamp set, I randomly stamped in Crumb Cake into across the Crumb Cake layer. A length of Very Vanilla Twine, from the Essentials Baker’s Twine pack was wrapped around the panel three times and secured with Sellotape. The decorated panel was then added to the Crumb Cake card Base with Mini Glue Dots to accommodate the twine and give a shadow effect.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pair of ducks anniversay card made using the Stylish Sketches stamp set for the Technique Tuesday Watercolor Blog Hop

I positioned the pretty stamp onto the Stamparatus Plate and placed the larger panel of Shimmery White card beneath it. I love using Shimmery White as it holds the water better than Basic White card and has a delicate sheen which is so pretty. The image was stamped in Early Espresso ink, I repeated this step to get a good dark image.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pair of ducks anniversay card made using the Stylish Sketches stamp set for the Technique Tuesday Watercolor Blog Hop

Using re-inkers dropped into the top of my ink pads, I coloured in the image using a Waterpainter. The colours I used for the ducks were Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Pool Party & So Saffron and I used Balmy Blue for the sky and Pear Pizzazz for the grass.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pair of ducks anniversay card made using the Stylish Sketches stamp set for the Technique Tuesday Watercolor Blog Hop

After the panel had dried, I added it to the Petal Pink panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I placed a heavy acrylic block on top to reduce the warping that you often get with watercolouring. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card base with Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pair of ducks anniversay card made using the Stylish Sketches stamp set for the Technique Tuesday Watercolor Blog Hop
