Deer at Sunset card

Posted on August 8, 2023July 28, 2023 by Mo Rootes

This deer at sunset card has been in my mind for a while and finally I have got around to making it. I have used the gorgeous Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending.

The colours in this card are:

To recreate the deer at sunset card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo card – 3” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower right corner – for the inside

Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes, I die cut a circle from a sheet of printer paper. This will act as a mask. The ‘mask’ was added over the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. I used a little washi tape to hold the mask in place.

Using a Blending Brush, I swirled Lemon Lolly ink over the top three quarters of the negative circle. I added Daffodil Delight around the edge of the circle leaving the centre of the circle a lighter colour.

Flirty Flamingo ink was added to the bottom of the circle and the mask was then removed.

I inked up the meadow grass image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it near the bottom of the inked circle. The deer image was added using the same ink.

The sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set was originally stamped onto the stamped and inked panel below the meadow grass, but I really didn’t like it, so Plan B………. the sentiment was stamped again in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto a piece of Flirty Flamingo card. I die cut it using a die from the Sending Dies and added it, on Dimensionals, over the wrongly stamped sentiment……….much better.

A black Baker’s Twine bow was tucked under the sentiment and a trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

I stamped the greeting from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set on the same label in Mossy Meadow ink. The 2 labels were then adhered together with the Liquid Adhesive. I took one of the gorgeous die cut deer from the medley pack and used my Embossing Buddy to de-stickify (is that even a word!!) the back before adding it to the panel on Dimensionals.

Most Wonderful Time

Posted on September 23, 2019September 13, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been playing with the lovely Most Wonderful Time product medley. This medley includes a stamp set, dies, pack of dsp, gold foil card fronts, tinsel ribbon, gold stars and lots of die cut stickers…………so many lovely things to play with.

To recreate the Most Wonderful Time card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2″
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 4” by 3”

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the Buffalo Check image in Blueberry Bushel ink. I find I get a much better image with the large background stamps if I use the Stamparatus as I can re-stamp repeatedly until the image is crisp. The panel was then added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Most Wonderful Time product medley makes a sweet Christmas card

A stitched oval was die cut from the small Whisper White piece using the Stitched Shapes dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the die cut oval. The trees from the Most Wonderful Time stamp set were stamped in 1^st and 2^nd generation Shaded Spruce ink onto the die cut oval.
