grungy gift card

Hi there 

Thanks for joining me for my turn on the blog today.

Sizzix Thinletts - Detailed butterflies

Impression Obsession Seth Apter Stamp Set- RPM's

Impression Obsession Seth Apter Stamp Set- Planetarium

Spellbinders- Seth Apter Splatter Proof

Avery Elle- Gift card Die (older design ) "for you"

Until next time

Best Wishes Happy Mail

I have made a card that would be suitable for loads of occasions for a female.

I used Stamping Bella Lacy has a letter as my main image and the sentiment is from the Avery Elle Handwritten Notes .

I added a banner and hearts cut with Memory Box Banner Parade Die which is available by contacting Bec at the shop.

I coloured the image with copic markers and the papers are from KaiserCraft.

Hi everyone.

 Popping in on this cold and very wild and windy day Spring day in  Perth  to share with you a new card.

I have had fun today playing with a newly aquired stamp set from Penny Black.

I stamped this cutie onto patterned paper from my stash and have coloured

her up with Copic Markers, using a little glitter from a Glitter pen to add accents

to some of the shopping bags and the balloon, together with white

gel pen for high lights.

I have used the following:

Penny Black Transparent Stamp - You're Retro

Lawn Fawn Stamp & Die Set - Hello Sunshine 

Becs Flash Sale has been extended until the end of September, so pop on over and take advantage of the sale to grab some goodies.

Happy Crafting

Watercoloured Distress inks Spellbinders Elegant Ovals

Hi there everyone, Shaz here with a another tutorial on watercolouring, with distress inks.

The best way to colour this fine lined image, was with Distress inks watercolours - no detail is lost! Plus they blend beautifully.
Smooched Distress ink on white piece of laminated cardstock, or use a stamping block, with white paper under it so you can see colours.
Used two mauve/ purple, and three green with blue. DI Blue Denim was used on both purple and green for shadows.

So here is the completed image .. this was for a very special friend"s birthday. Also lightly inked whilst the die cut still in Stitched Oval die with Distress inks in two greens, Peeled Paint, and Pine Needles. Cottage Cutz Stitched ovals  fit really well the largest of the Spellbinder Elegant Ovals.
I shaped the flowers as love the 3D look, although it doesn't really show that clearly - see here to show I do it. I did this with a single coloured layer.. a cheat's way :D

Completed card. All dies, etc, used listed below.
