Smooshed Heart

Good Morning,

I am trying something new today… Ink smooshing!

I prepared a card blank using Rose Red card stock.

On some watercolour paper, I stamped the striped heart from the Heart Happiness stamp set using clear Versamark ink. This was heat embossed with clear powder.

Once cool, I smooshed Rose Red ink over the top. To do this, ink was applied to a piece of plastic which was then swiped and dabbed over the project.

While this dried, I die cut hearts from black card stock and vellum. A Tailored Tag was cut from Rose Red card stock.

Some black metallic thread was adhered to the card first. The other elements were then added over the top.

The greeting is from the Window Shopping set. This was stamped with Rose Red ink and adhered with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

A Little Thanks #FMS333

Hi there,

This week at Freshly Made Sketches, Narelle is challenging crafters to use circles in their designs. This is the sketch;

The design team have made some great inspiration projects. You can see them here!

This is my entry in to the challenge.

The card base is made from Marina Mist card stock. Layers of Dapper Denim and Whisper White were adhered to the front.

My circles were made by cutting Dapper Denim with a 2-1/4 inch punch. The Starburst punch was used to cut some vellum.

These were layered together and adhered to the card, one flat, the other with dimensionals.

Two flowers from the Flower Shop stamp set were stamped with Marina Mist ink and cut with the coordinating Pansy punch.

The One Big Meaning stamp set was used to stamp the greeting. I used Dapper Denim ink. This was adhered to a Classic Label punched from Dapper Denim card stock and tucked in under the embellishments.

Finally, I added some Glitter Enamel Dots to the flower centres and to embellish the background.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Without a Little Rain

Hi there Everyone,

With all the rain we have had recently, I thought this was just the card for today.

This is very simply made by die cutting the rainbow bands from coloured card stock.

I used Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red and Elegant Eggplant.

Three clouds were die cut from Whisper White card stock.

I decided to use one of these to stage the sentiment.

Using Smoky Slate card stock as the base really made the colours in the rainbow pop.

A few raindrops stamped at the top completed the design.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below. If you live in the UK, France, Germany, Austria or The Netherlands, I would love to have your business.

Foil & Feathers – Just Add Ink #402

Hello Everyone,

I am joining the Just Add Ink Challenge again this week. The theme is:

To see what the design team created, click here!

This is my project. I chose foil and feathers!

I went all in with the card base and used a piece of the Foil Frenzy collection. I love this Soft Sky foiling.

The little budgies are from the Bird Banter stamp set. They were stamped on Very Vanilla card stock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.

I used a Stitched Circle framelit to cut the image. This was adhered flat towards the left edge of the card front.

The sentiment is added simply using a small banner, which I layered with some Soft Sky card stock to complement the foil.

Finally, three “feathers” were stamped and cut from Soft Sky card stock. These are actually the little stylised leaves from the Daisy Delight stamp set!

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.
