Owl Christmas

 

 Welcome

Today's card follows the sketch from BYSH cardmakers

I have used some DP from a magazine as the background and used a toning card for the scalloped pieces. I stamped the Christmas owl on a scrap of white, diecut into a circle and layered onto the scalloped circle. I then trimmed it back so I could attach it to the side. After colouring with Promarkers, I stamped the TH hat onto red card and also white card, so that I could paper piece the trim. I also added a snowflake sticker which I attached to the blue card and fussy cut

The base card is a dark navy colour

Hi everyone

Today's card was a bit of an experiment for the challenge at Lets Squash It,

The theme is nature and watercolours.

I rubbed distress inks - pumice stone, walnut stain, and black soot directly onto the embossing folder then spritzed with water.

After running through my cuttlebug and allowing it to dry naturally I added some string to the wavy lines, trimmed and adhered to a white card base

Hi everyone

I am back today with a card that I made this afternoon.

I used a digi from Stamplorations which I have coloured with chalk pastels for the flowers and Promarkers for the butterflies.

I cut through it diagonally, but trimmed around the butterfly. In the space I inserted a strip and stamped the sentiment with Brilliance graphite black using my Misti

Hello and welcome

Today's card features some bright rainbow colours on Yupo paper. It was in my background box, and I can't remember exactly how I did it. I trimmed it to layer onto a black card base and stamped my crazy bird onto a scrap and coloured him to match. I also stamped the message on a scrap with 'Shades dye ink' in orange, and outlined the 'happy' with a black pen

Under the sea

 

Welcome back to my blog

Today's card started off with a 'painty' background that I did not like, so I swiped over it with a small DI ink pad 'faded jeans' and then splashed some water on.

My stamp is from  Kaisercraft called  Coastal Escape, and I lightly coloured some of the seaweed. I diecut the sea horse with my cuttlebug from a scrap and coloured with copics, then used the seahorse stamp from the set to stamp some detail. The two little starfish and the rock were diecut as well. It is adhered to a black base card
