Sea Turtle card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on January 2, 2024January 5, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing cards made using a Brayer. I have chosen to use the Sea Turtle stamp set and some cling film or seran wrap!

I rolled the brayer, multiple times, over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card, changing direction as I went. To clean off the residual ink, I rolled the cling film wrapped brayer over scrap paper. I inked up again with Pretty Peacock and rolled the ink multiple times across the Basic White card stock. I repeated the whole process again with Parakeet Party ink, building up the colour as I went.

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.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A beautiful deer at sunset card made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending

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.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A beautiful deer at sunset card made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending

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.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A beautiful deer at sunset card made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending

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.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I die cut a stitched circle from the front panel of the card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Sending Smiles stamp set and Sending Dies used to make a pretty shadow box card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The larger circle, from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set, was inked up by pressing the Parakeet Party ink pad to one half and the Fresh Freesia pad to the other half. I stamped down onto scrap paper before stamping in the centre of my pencil circle. The pencil line was then erased. The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink in the centre of the inked circle and the panel was then glued in place.
