Sheep Themed Thank You Card

Posted on April 16, 2023April 9, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been using the sweet On the Farm stamp set to make a pretty water coloured thank you card.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the sheep thank you card, you will need:

Sahara Sand card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 3¼” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3⅛” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Strips of Basic White, Balmy Blue and Garden Green ⅜” wide

When I am stamping onto watercolor paper, I usually use my Stamparatus. Because the paper is textured the Stamparatus gives me the option of re-stamping if I miss spots or I want the image to be darker. So, I stamped the fields, trees and sheep in StaZon Jet Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The On The Farm stamp set used to make a pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card

I added a drop of Balmy Blue re-inker to the lid of the Balmy Blue ink pad and painted in the sky using a Water Painter. After the sky had dried, I coloured the fields in the same way using Garden Green ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The On The Farm stamp set used to make a pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card

The trees were painted with Shaded Spruce and the tree trunks in Early Espresso. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink re-fill to colour in the sheep and left the panel to dry.

The dried panel was then glued to the Garden Green card. I used Seal + as the panel was a little warped. The whole piece was mounted onto the Sahara Sand card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Best Family Ever, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink below the mounted image. I flagged the end of the three strips of card, each ⅜” and tucked them under the image.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The retiring Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set used to make a one sheet wonder for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

I stamped a sentiment on each panel in Basic Gray ink before cutting each panel down to either 5½” by 3¾” or 5¼” by 3½”. These were then glued to the co-ordinating panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Framed Florets Water-coloured for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on April 4, 2023March 26, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using water coloring techniques. I have used the pretty Framed Florets stamps set to make my card.

To recreate the framed florets water-coloured card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3¼”

The double flower image was the mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate, inked up with StaZon Jet Black ink and stamped onto the panel of Fluid 100 card. I repeated the step then moved the image and stamped again onto the same panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set

When the StaZon ink was dry I began to watercolour the images, beginning with the leaves. I used my Water Painters to add a little water to the leaves, this helps the ink to flow on the card. I added a drop of Granny Apple Green re-inker to the lid of the Granny Apple Green inkpad, loosen the ink with a little water and painted in the leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set

The flowers were painted in the same way with Daffodil Delight ink and a little Sweet Sorbet ink in the centre, allowing it to bleed out a little. I left the piece to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set

When the ink was dry I added Soft Sea Foam around the stamped and coloured images, using water to blur the ink giving a faded look. When the panel was completely dry I glued it to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Sweet Sorbet and white Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and the whole piece then added to the Soft Sea Foam card front using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set
