Spotlight on Stippled Roses – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where our projects are inspired by a sketch challenge. I have used the Stippled Roses stamp set to make a variation on the spotlight technique to make my card.

 

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the spotlight on stippled roses card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Granny Apple Green card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3⅝” by ½”

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I randomly stamped the large image from the Stippled Roses stamp set all over the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. I used my paper trimmer to cut the panel in two as per the sketch.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in the flowers on the smaller panel – Flirty Flamingo, light & dark for the roses, Granny Apple Green, light & dark for the leaves and Soft Sea Foam, light to colour the background and ‘ground’ the images.

Textured Florals card – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing projects showcasing the 2024 – 2026 In Colors. These colours are so bright and cheerful, I love them and have chosen to use the Textured Florals stamp set and dies to make my card.

Colours in this card:

 

To recreate the textured florals card, you will need:

Pretty In Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock

 

Using a Blending Brush, I inked the bottom right-hand side of the 5⅛” by 3⅜” panel of Basic White card. The panel was then glued to the Basic Black layer. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the upper left corner. The panel was then glued to the Pretty In Pink card base.

Whitewashed Magnolia card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects made using the whitewash technique. This is a technique I haven’t used in a long while and had so much fun playing with it again. I have used the gorgeous Magnolia Mood stamp set to make my card.

 

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the whitewashed magnolia card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – with rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – with rounded upper right corner
Crumb Cake card – 5” by 3¼” – with rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside – with rounded upper right corner

 

I stamped the large magnolia image onto the Crumb Cake card panel using Versamark ink. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I pressed the Whisper White ink pad to a small Acrylic Block. A damp Water Painter was used to paint the Whisper White ink onto each of the petals of the magnolia.

After letting the white ink dry, I added Berry Burst ink to the petals using an almost empty Wink of Stella Pen, this gave a subtle shimmer to the petals.

The decorated panel was then glued to the 5⅛” by 3⅜” panel of Basic White card. A length of White Diagonal Striped Ribbon was wrapped around the whole piece and secured on the back with Sellotape before the whole piece was stuck to the Berry Burst card base.

Hello and welcome to the Magic of Masks Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using masks or stencils. I am loving both the Enduring Beauty and new Layers of Beauty stamp sets, dies and masks and couldn’t resist using the new Layers of Beauty bundle to make my masked beauty anniversary card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the masked beauty card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Bright & Beautiful dsp – 5½” by 3¾”

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the Bright & Beautiful dsp to the 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of Basic White card. This was then glued to the Highland Heather card front. I stamped the sentiment onto the card front using Gorgeous Grape ink.

I placed the masks, which are helpfully numbered, one at a time on top of the stamped image. Using Blending Brushes, I added Lemon Lolly to the roses and Highland Heather to the small daisies. Each mask added another layer of colour to the flowers.

The leaves were then inked in with Garden Green ink. I love how the colour and texture builds when you use the masks, so pretty. The inked image was then die cut using the Layers of Beauty Dies. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
