Lemon Lime Twist card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”

From scrap Basic White card, I punched a Hexagon using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I placed it onto the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card and drew round it lightly with a pencil.

Using Lemon Lime Twist ink, I stamped the larger Starfish three times around the pencilled outline, making sure to overlap the drawn in line.

I added the smaller Starfish using Orchid Oasis ink then Lost lagoon ink and finally Fresh Freesia ink. The pencil lines were then erased and the decorated panel was adhered to the Lemon Lime Twist panel. The whole piece was then glued to the Orchid Oasis card front.

The sentiment, from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set, was stamped on the punched white hexagon in Orchid Oasis ink. A hexagon was punched from scrap Lost Lagoon card, cut across the middle from side to side and glued to the back of the sentiment label with a little of the Lost Lagoon showing at the top and bottom. The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Sea Turtle card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on January 2, 2024January 5, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing cards made using a Brayer. I have chosen to use the Sea Turtle stamp set and some cling film or seran wrap!

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the sea turtle card. You will need:

Parakeet Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Pretty Peacock card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”

I rolled the brayer, multiple times, over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card, changing direction as I went. To clean off the residual ink, I rolled the cling film wrapped brayer over scrap paper. I inked up again with Pretty Peacock and rolled the ink multiple times across the Basic White card stock. I repeated the whole process again with Parakeet Party ink, building up the colour as I went.
