I used the following dark Blends Markers – Magenta Madness, Blackberry Bliss, Night of Navy and Fresh Freesia to scribble blocks of colour onto the Vellum. I dipped an almost empty Clear Wink of Stella Brush to splatter and dab 90% alcohol onto the Vellum allowing the ink to spread and pool. The panel was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous anniversary card made using the Welcoming Woods stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I added Calypso Coral ink along the bottom third and Daffodil Delight ink in the centre.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous anniversary card made using the Welcoming Woods stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
Starting from the top I brushed on Balmy Blue ink followed by Highland Heather ink and finished with Night of Navy which I added to the top of the panel. I also added some of the Night of Navy around all of the edges to add some depth.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous anniversary card made using the Welcoming Woods stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I removed the Post It Note to reveal the ‘moon’ and stamped the gorgeous tree trunks in Early Espresso ink. I added the shadows beneath the trees in 2nd generation Early Espresso ink. The inked panel was adhered to the Early Espresso panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped Linen thread around the panel three times before adding the panel to the Calypso Coral card base on Dimensionals.

Today I have made a pretty double butterfly card made using alcohol inked vellum left over from my class projects last month (see the post on the 17th September 2021).
To recreate the double butterfly card, you will need:
Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner Daffodil Delight card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside Vellum – big enough to die cut your butterflies
I used Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Alcohol Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol
Using a pipette filled with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and smacked it against a Bone Folder to spray small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum. This allows the ink to start spreading. The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol
Using second generation Smoky Slate ink I stamped one of the rectangle images from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set in the centre of the smaller Basic White panel. The dotty image was stamped in full strength Smoky Slate randomly across the stamped rectangle.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol
Taking the dry vellum panel and the Brilliant Wings Dies I die cut 2 butterflies. Vellum can be tricky to die cut with a detailed die and I find placing the die, cutting side up gives me the best cut. I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get out the fiddly pieces.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol
The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Magenta Madness ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Daffodil Delight layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Magenta Madness card front using the same liquid glue.

I hope you like it.

Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing a cards made using the gorgeous Summer Shadows dies which are available as a free choice with a £45 order in the Sale-a-Bration Brochure until the end of this month. These cards were inspired by projects made by a fellow demonstrator Tammy White and made to congratulate 2 of my team members on reaching sales targets..
To recreate the Summer Shadows cards, you will need:
Basic White card 5⅞” by 4⅛” – this will eventually be used on the Blackberry Bliss card Scrap of Basic White card – die cut the solid flower from the centre to act as a mask
Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower left corner Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded lower left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”x 2 – one for the inside – Rounded lower left corner Blackberry Bliss card – 3” by ⅞” Blackberry Bliss Scrap for die cutting
Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner Polished Pink card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside – Rounded upper right corner Blackberry Bliss card – 3¼” by 1¼” Blackberry Bliss Scrap for die cutting
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Using the gorgeous Summer Shadows Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I die cut the solid flower randomly across the Basic White panel measuring 5⅞” by 4⅛”.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
The die cut panel was then placed over the top of one of the 5½” by 3¾” Basic White panel and held in place with washi tape. The die cut panel is deliberately larger than the panel below and will be trimmed down later.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
I used Blending Brushes to apply ink to the layers starting with Petal Pink, moving on to Flirty Flamingo, then Polished Pink and finishing with Magenta Madness. This gives a lovely ombre effect.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Carefully peel off the larger inked layer to reveal the inked flowers underneath. Set the larger panel to one side to use on the next card.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Use the small panel of Basic White with the die cut flower as a mask, placing it over each inked flower in turn. Stamp the small flower from Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink, onto the inked flower before moving onto the next. Set to one side to dry.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Die cut enough detailed flowers, from scrap Blackberry Bliss card, to edge each of your inked flowers. To add the detailed flowers to the panel I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon Craft Sheet and used a piece of Sponge to add glue to the back of the die cut.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
The decorated panel was then added to the Blackberry Bliss layer with liquid glue and then to the Polished Pink card base on Dimensionals.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Next, take the large inked panel that was set aside and glue it to the remaining Basic White panel. Use a trimmer to cut off the excess card and adhere the whole panel to the Polished Pink panel with liquid glue.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Die cut more of the detailed flowers from scrap Blackberry Bliss card stock and use the same glue and sponge method to glue then to the panel. Add the whole piece to the Blackberry Bliss card base on Dimensionals.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Stamp the sentiments in Versamark ink onto the small pieces of Blackberry Bliss card, cover with White Embossing Powder and heat set with a Heat Tool. Add one sentiment to each card front. With liquid glue.

For this month’s classes we have been playing with Blends Markers and Alcohol using the Artistically Inked stamp set and co-ordinating Artistic Dies. This card was designed to show the versatility of the Blends Alcohol Markers.
To use on 2 of the cards you will need ½ a sheet of Vellum card which will be cut down and/or die cut into after being inked and allowed to dry
We began the class by creating the inked Vellum sheet. We used the dark Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
We then, using a pipette dropped small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum allowing the ink to start spreading. Smaller drops were added with a paintbrush and some people blurred the lines between colours with a paintbrush. Some chose a more subtle blending by spraying the alcohol on with a Spritzer, allowing the colours to run.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry while we got on with making the first card.
To recreate the Single Flower card, you will need:
Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner Daffodil Delight card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside Scrap Basic White card
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inking direct to stamps using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
Taking the largest flower from the stunning Artistically Inked stamp set, we added ink directly to the stamp using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker. The inked stamp was then misted with alcohol using a Stampin’ Spritzer and stamped down onto the Basic White panel.
The double leaf image was inked in the same way with the Just Jade Blends Marker and spritzed before stamping beside the flower.
The flower centre was stamped in Bumblebee ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was added to the centre of the flower on a Dimensional.
We added the sentiment from the same stamp set in Bumblebee ink before gluing the stamped layer to the Daffodil Delight panel. This was then added to the Magenta Madness card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Just Jade Blends Marker we coloured 3 Basic Pearls and added them to the card front.
Using a 2-way glue pen we drew stripes onto the pink flower, radiating out from the centre and rubbed on some Gold Gilding Flakes for a little sparkle
To recreate the intricate flowers and leaves card, you will need
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” Pumpkin Pie card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” Vellum card – see note below Basic Black card – 4¼” by 4” Scrap Basic Black card
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card made using the Artistic Dies and a panel of alcohol inked Vellum made using the Stampin’ Blends Markers
We cut the inked vellum panel down to 5½” by 3¾” and squeezed out some liquid adhesive onto a Silicon mat and using a sponge, spread the glue lightly over the back of the Vellum before sticking it down to the Basic White panel. The white background really makes the colours shine.
This layer was then added with liquid glue to the Pumpkin Pie panel and then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.
Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine we die cut the gorgeous intricate flowers and leaves from the panel of Basic Black card and added it to the card front using the glue on a sponge technique.
The sentiment from was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card, covered by White Embossing Powder and set using a Heat Tool. When the embossing was dry, we coloured it using the Magenta Madness and Daffodil Delight Blends markers.
The sentiment was trimmed out and the ends flagged before it was added to the card front on Dimensionals. So pretty.
To recreate the spray of leaves card, you will need
Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner Magenta Madness card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner Vellum – see note Magenta Madness – 3¾” by ¼” Daffodil Delight scalloped oval Basic White scrap
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inked Vellum used to die cut stunning delicate leaves for a pretty card using Stampin’ Up! products
From the left-over panel of inked Vellum we die cut the intricate leaves and added them suing the glue on a sponge technique to the panel of Basic White. This was then added to the Magenta Madness layer using the liquid glue.
The strip of Magenta Madness card was then added with liquid glue to the bottom for the die cut leaves. The whole piece was the added to the Thick Basic White card front with liquid glue.
The sentiment was stamped in Magenta Madness ink onto scrap Basic White, punched out using the Double Oval Punch and glued it to the Daffodil Delight scalloped oval punched out using the same punch. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker we coloured in a piece of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, tied a bow and added it to the card front. We also coloured a trio of Basic Pearls with the same pink Blends Marker and added then to the card front.
Such striking cards, I hope you like them.

I love this card; The colours are spectacular together and I especially love the slight sparkle the Clear Wink of Stella has given to the Vellum. So pretty.

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on and I have chosen to share a cute Counting Sheep card made for my daughter and son in laws 1st wedding anniversary yesterday. This gorgeous stamp set is one of the offerings in the up-coming Sale-a-Bration brochure which goes live on the 3rd January along with the July – December Mini Catalogue.
To recreate the counting sheep card, you will need:
Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner Pacific Point card – 5⅛” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside Real Red card – 5⅞” by ⅓” x 2 Basic White card – 2 ½” by ⅜” Scrap Basic White
I glued the 2 strips of Real Red card stock to the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Using the Stamparatus I stamped the sweet little sheep in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. T he stamped panel was then removed and replace with the Silicon Mat. I inked the image again with the same ink and stamped it again on to the mat, carefully added the stamped panel – face down onto the inked Silicon Mat and rubbed firmly with my fingers to encourage to ink to transfer. On lifting up the panel the reverse image was seen. Such a great idea.

Using a Blending Brush I inked the ground with Pear Pizzazz ink. I added the tufts of grass in Pear Pizzazz to ground the happy sheep.
I stamped the sheep image again, twice, onto Post It Notes – one on the front and the 2nd on the reverse of the Post It Note. These were cut out using scissors. They were then placed over the 2 stamped images and the sky was added with a Blending Brush, Balmy Blue ink and a torn piece of copy paper.

With the masks still in place I drew in 2 balloon strings with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. The masks were removed and the sheep coloured with Smoky Slate and Petal Pink Blends Markers.

I stamped the balloons – they are actually the small heart shaped leaf from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Real Red and Pacific Point ink onto scrap Basic White. I cut them out using scissors. The heart shaped balloons were then added to the stamped panel with Dimensionals. The whole panel was then added to the Pacific Point panel with liquid glue and then to the card front on Dimensionals.
