Next, I added the flower centres in either Poppy Parade or Daffodil Delight and used the same flower centre in Highland Heather to add purple dots around the grouping of flowers. The whole panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped White Baker’s Twine twice around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape.

Feels Like Home for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on August 14, 2021August 12, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I have chosen to use the Feels Like Home stamp set, a free choice from the Sale-A-Bration brochure with a £45 order, and a bit of water colouring.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the feels like home card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Gray card – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Fluid 100 Watercolor card – 5” by 3½”

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the image in Basic Gray ink. I find I get a better image using the Stamparatus especially on this textured paper.

I like to use the lid of my inkpads as my palette, either by squeezing the pad to the lid or adding a drop of re-inker directly into the lid and adding water.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful water coloured card made using the Feels Like Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using a Water Painter, I added a light wash of water to the tree, then added Old Olive ink and allowed it to spread. I moved on to paint the wall in the same way with Blushing Bride ink

The door was painted using Poppy Parade ink and the door surround and decking in Smoky Slate. The window in the door was coloured using Bumblebee ink.

The plant pots were painted with Misty Moonlight ink and the leaves and flowers added using Old Olive, Blushing Bride and Poppy Parade ink. The basket and seat of the bike were coloured with Soft Suede ink

I used my Soft Suede Stampin’ Write maker to define the door panels and the tree branches and used a Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Marker to draw in the bicycle.

The ‘ground’ was stamped in 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink to give the effect of an horizon.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Welcoming Woods stamp set used for a masculine themed card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I punched a circle using the 1” Circle Punch, placed it over the tree trunks to provide a ‘moon’. Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink, lightly from the horizon line to the top of the card. I kept the colour light as I wanted a wintery sky effect. The masked circle was then removed.

The ground was coloured with a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink and I added the speckles from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Soft Suede ink to give the ground some texture. The stamped panel was added to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Posted on August 8, 2021August 3, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo blog hop where I have made a sailing diorama using this months colours which are:

Gray Granite

Gorgeous Grape

Bermuda Bay

And I have added a tiny bit of Daffodil Delight for the light of the lighthouse

Daffodil Delight

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Gray Granite card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I began by using the Layering Diorama dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the centre from the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White. I put the centre piece to one side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Using Blending Brushes, I added Gray Granite ink to the bottom of the outer panel and Bermuda Bay ink to the upper part of the outer panel. I added some texture to the bottom using the dotty image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Gray Granite ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Taking the inner piece I stamped the mountains, from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite ink and muddied the bottom using the small ‘cloud’ image from the Mountain Air stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Gray Granite. The sea and sky were both inked with Bermuda Bay ink, I just went lighter with the sky and added a 1” circle mask for the moon. The sea texture was added using a stamp from the Arctic Bears stamp set in Bermuda Bay. I place the 2 pieces of inked card together and stamped some birds, from the Mountain Air stamp set, randomly in the sky.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

The inner piece was then glued to the Gray Granite panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. And the outer piece added on Dimensionals.

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the lighthouse, from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite ink and repeated the step to get a slightly darker colour. I used a Blender Pen to add ink and to smooth out the colour a little. I also added a little Daffodil Delight ink as a lighthouse is nothing without a light! The lighthouse was added with glue and Dimensionals overlapping the inset panel.
