Back on your feet

Leave a reply

Here’s my second card this week using Back on your feet. The animals are really adorable – I had a lot of fun designing this yesterday.

back on your feet - Hammered Metal embossing folder

I stamped this little fellow in memento black and then used the olive blends to colour him in with a little dark soft seaspray for his puddle. I felt that the hammered metal 3D embossing folder (150646) mimicked his scales so added an embossed piece of old olive. I was really pleased with how this came out but hope I don’t need to send it anytime soon!

Back on your feet

A very Merry Christmas to all – I hope that you’re having a great day. As I mentioned on Monday, it’s not unusual for people to get sick when they stop working and relax. So just in case here’s a card made with Back on your feet (149385) a 9 cling stamp set featuring fun animals. You can put this together really quickly if you need to send such a card – hope you don’t, but trying to be realistic.

Back on your feet

I used the Bird Ballad DSP for the background and simply stamped in soft suede onto the paper. I matted the DSP with soft suede and then adhered it to a daffodil delight card base. The sentiment is stamped in soft suede on daffodil delight and cut out using the Stitched Rectangular dies. As I said, you can whip this up in no time at all.

Playful Penguins with Pigment Sprinkles

Leave a reply

Here are the Playful Penguins (150532) again. There’s a brilliant card in the catalogue which inspired this one. I used pigment sprinkles for my background though – and only the bermuda bay. I first tried just sponging on inks but it go muddy. I like the variety that I got with the one pigment sprinkles.

I used water color paper and a spritzer plus a paper towel to blot it to get this effect. I matter it in black which also helps with the curving tendency of watercolor paper that has been well drenched  I then went on a search for the perfect card base – turned out to be shaded spruce! The penguin is stamped in memento black with a blueberry bushel bow tie. A few of the Woven Threads sequins finished it off.

Playful Penguins

This week I’m using (again) the Playful Penguins set (150532) which gives you 12 cling stamps with 3 adorable penguins and 3 ways to dress them up. I decided to use all of the penguins and the accessories on a single card.

Aren’t they adorable?!

I used the memento tuxedo black ink and real red. I think the finishing touch is the puff paint.

Beauty and Joy again

Leave a reply

I’m here with my second card using the Beauty and Joy set. I don’t think that I’d have made this card without my “2 cards per week from a set” challenge that I set myself. That would have been a shame since I really love this card. The gold pot has a lot more texture than in the photo, I just couldn’t get it to show properly. You’ll just have to make it yourself and see how beautiful it is.

The pot and berries are heat embossed in gold, the trunk is soft suede and the greenery is mossy meadow. I’m so glad that Mossy Meadow came back in last year’s colour refresh, I’ve missed it.

Now I’m off to work on this month’s tutorial card – it’s currently drying. It will be available for free starting in January.
