Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty card featuring an alcohol inked background and a tree canopy

Inked Canopy

Posted on July 18, 2021July 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I have been having fun playing with Blends Markers and Alcohol………such fun, add in the Inspiring Canopy Dies and I have one gorgeous inked canopy card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Inked Canopy card, you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2, one for the inside
Vellum – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I used the following dark Blends Markers – Bermuda Bay, Misty Moonlight, Just Jade and Balmy Blue 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.

When the Vellum was dry I trimmed off ¼” from the side and the bottom to decorate the inside panel and the envelope. The Vellum was then added to one the Basic White panels using tiny dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The panel was then added to the Misty Moonlight panel using the same liquid glue. I used Dimensionals to add the panel to the Bermuda Bay card base.

We stamped the card front in Polished Pink ink.

We wrapped a piece of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the card base on Dimensionals.

Using the Stitched Rectangle Dies we die cut a rectangle from the Evening Evergreen panel. The speckles were stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto the corners of the frame and the frame was mounted onto the Evening Evergreen card front.

We die cut a selection of flowers from scrap Basic White card using the Meadow dies and coloured them using Blending Brushes. The flowers were added with glue and/or Dimensionals.

Taking the Scalloped Contour Dies I die cut a scalloped border from the Basic White strip 4½” by 1½” and glued the border to the back of the Evening Evergreen piece. The whole panel was added to the Fresh Freesia card front on Dimensionals

Hello and welcome to the Vacation Blog Hop where we are thinking about holidays. I know many people can’t wait to start travelling again and are dreaming about where they will go first. I am going to Scotland to see my family in August, they live on the North-East coast and my card reflects the sea and coast. This is a picture of the place where my Mum and Dad are from with the ruined 14th century red sandstone castle on the cliff by the beach……. just beautiful.

I began by stamping the lighthouse, from the Sailing Home stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink onto one of the Basic White panels. I stamped the image again on a Post It Note, cut it out to use as a mask. The mask was placed over the stamped image.

Using a Blending Brush and a piece of ripped printer paper I added Balmy Blue ink to create a sky and Pacific Point to create the sea.

I used Sponge Daubers to add Granny Apple Green ink to the cliff tops, Cinnamon Cider to the cliff face and base of the lighthouse and So Saffron to the beach area. The boat was coloured using the Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Pacific Point and So Saffron Blends Markers.

Batik Pattern

Posted on July 9, 2021July 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a quirky batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies. I love the symmetry of the stamps in this set, so pretty.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pattern batik card, you will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Polished Pink card – 5⅛” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner

Basic White card – 3” by 2”
Merry Merlot – 3” by 2
Polished Pink – 3” by 2
Basic White – ¼” strip

I began by stamping the outline of the larger shape in Merry Merlot ink randomly all over the 5” by 3⅛” panel of Basic White. The infill image was added in Polished Pink ink and the base part was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. Don’t these colours look lovely together? I used the trio of dotted circles, stamped in Merry Merlot ink to fill in some of the white space.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Such a pretty batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

The stamped panel was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Polished Pink panel. I wrapped a piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Such a pretty batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Such a pretty batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

The outline die cut was then glued to the Basic White die cut and the Polished Pink pieces glued into the negative space gaps using the paper-piecing technique. Such a pretty effect. The die cut piece was then added with Dimensionals over top of the ribbon.
