For this month’s classes we have been playing with Blends Markers and Alcohol using the Artistically Inked stamp set and co-ordinating Artistic Dies. This card was designed to show the versatility of the Blends Alcohol Markers.
To use on 2 of the cards you will need ½ a sheet of Vellum card which will be cut down and/or die cut into after being inked and allowed to dry
We began the class by creating the inked Vellum sheet. We used the dark Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
We then, using a pipette dropped small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum allowing the ink to start spreading. Smaller drops were added with a paintbrush and some people blurred the lines between colours with a paintbrush. Some chose a more subtle blending by spraying the alcohol on with a Spritzer, allowing the colours to run.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry while we got on with making the first card.
To recreate the Single Flower card, you will need:
Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner Daffodil Delight card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside Scrap Basic White card
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inking direct to stamps using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
Taking the largest flower from the stunning Artistically Inked stamp set, we added ink directly to the stamp using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker. The inked stamp was then misted with alcohol using a Stampin’ Spritzer and stamped down onto the Basic White panel.
The double leaf image was inked in the same way with the Just Jade Blends Marker and spritzed before stamping beside the flower.
The flower centre was stamped in Bumblebee ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was added to the centre of the flower on a Dimensional.
We added the sentiment from the same stamp set in Bumblebee ink before gluing the stamped layer to the Daffodil Delight panel. This was then added to the Magenta Madness card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Just Jade Blends Marker we coloured 3 Basic Pearls and added them to the card front.
Using a 2-way glue pen we drew stripes onto the pink flower, radiating out from the centre and rubbed on some Gold Gilding Flakes for a little sparkle
To recreate the intricate flowers and leaves card, you will need
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” Pumpkin Pie card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” Vellum card – see note below Basic Black card – 4¼” by 4” Scrap Basic Black card
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card made using the Artistic Dies and a panel of alcohol inked Vellum made using the Stampin’ Blends Markers
We cut the inked vellum panel down to 5½” by 3¾” and squeezed out some liquid adhesive onto a Silicon mat and using a sponge, spread the glue lightly over the back of the Vellum before sticking it down to the Basic White panel. The white background really makes the colours shine.
This layer was then added with liquid glue to the Pumpkin Pie panel and then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.
Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine we die cut the gorgeous intricate flowers and leaves from the panel of Basic Black card and added it to the card front using the glue on a sponge technique.
The sentiment from was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card, covered by White Embossing Powder and set using a Heat Tool. When the embossing was dry, we coloured it using the Magenta Madness and Daffodil Delight Blends markers.
The sentiment was trimmed out and the ends flagged before it was added to the card front on Dimensionals. So pretty.
To recreate the spray of leaves card, you will need
Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner Magenta Madness card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner Vellum – see note Magenta Madness – 3¾” by ¼” Daffodil Delight scalloped oval Basic White scrap
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inked Vellum used to die cut stunning delicate leaves for a pretty card using Stampin’ Up! products
From the left-over panel of inked Vellum we die cut the intricate leaves and added them suing the glue on a sponge technique to the panel of Basic White. This was then added to the Magenta Madness layer using the liquid glue.
The strip of Magenta Madness card was then added with liquid glue to the bottom for the die cut leaves. The whole piece was the added to the Thick Basic White card front with liquid glue.
The sentiment was stamped in Magenta Madness ink onto scrap Basic White, punched out using the Double Oval Punch and glued it to the Daffodil Delight scalloped oval punched out using the same punch. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker we coloured in a piece of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, tied a bow and added it to the card front. We also coloured a trio of Basic Pearls with the same pink Blends Marker and added then to the card front.
Such striking cards, I hope you like them.
