I squeezed the Pecan Pie and Pebbled Path ink pads to get ink into the lid, diluted the ink with water from the water painter and added the diluted ink to the wet, embossed panel allowing the colours to mix and blend. I set it aside to dry bfore wiping the excess ink off the white embossed image.

A vintage paintbrush themed card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the Trusty Tools stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Rustic Tools card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing ‘Vintage’ style projects. I have interpreted this as shabby chic, a style of cardmaking I really struggle with….. I have chosen to use the Trusty Toolbox stamp set to make my rustic tools card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the rustic tools card, you will need:

Copper Clay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Beige card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic Beige card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Basic Beige card

 

I began by stamping the outline of 3 paintbrushes in Early Espresso ink onto the smaller panel of Basic Beige card. Colour was added to the handle of each brush and the tip of the bristles using, firstly Wild Wheat ink, then Pecan Pie ink and finally Copper Clay ink. I swiped the matching colour below the bristles using the edge of each ink pad.

Using Blending Brushes I inked, with all three colours, around the edges of the panel. I the tore along the bottom and inked the ragged edge to match. I randomly stamped the dotty image, from the Country Birdhouse stamp set, in all three colours. I used a Bone Folder in the upper left corner to breakdown the fibres and separate the layers of the cardstock. I inked the corner to match. The whole panel was the adhered to one of the larger Basic Beige panels which had the bottom edge torn.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

 

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

The Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow Dies by Stampin' Up! used to make a pretty card

Shabby Chic Meadow

Today I am sharing a card made for a recent team challenge where our theme was ‘Shabby Chic’. This is so out of my comfort zone. I like clean and simple cards, bright colours so this topic was enough to bring me out in a rash……..

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the shabby chic meadow card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake – 5½” by 3¾”
Blushing Bride – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Very Vanilla – 5½” by 3¾”
Very Vanilla – 2¼” by 1¾”
Scrap Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake

Using 2nd generation Blushing Bride ink, I stamped the flower randomly all over the Blushing Bride panel. I added the scripty stamp using 2nd and 3rd generation Crumb Cake ink. Whilst I had the ink out I stamped in Crumb Cake ink in opposite corners of the Blushing Bride card front.

I ripped down the right side of the stamped panel – quite enjoyed it once I got started…… I inked around the edge of the stamped panel with a Sponge Dauber and Crumb Cake ink. I ripped down the right side of the Crumb Cake panel, stamped down the side with the speckled stamp before inking around the panel using the Dauber and Crumb Cake ink.

Using a Bone Folder, I broke down the fibres in the upper left corner of both the Crumb Cake panel and the Blushing Bride panel. This allowed me to pull the layers apart and curl the corner. The layers were then adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped some of the gorgeous and sadly retired Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon around the panel before adding the panel to the Blushing Bride card base.

I die cut a Very Vanilla Label from scarp Very Vanilla card using the Tasteful Labels dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Blushing Bride ink. I added the scripty image on the label in 2nd & 3rd generation Crumb Cake ink and inked around the edges in Crumb Cake ink and added it over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

Using the Meadow dies I die cut 2 flowers from scrap Very Vanilla card. I stamped the speckled image over the die cut flowers and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue.

To complete the card, I tucked a strip of Lace Trim under the sentiment label and added a trio of Champagne Rhinestones.

I actually really like this card when it was finished. I hope you like it also.
