I have another video for you, my crafty friends! YEAY!
I picked up a clear stamp set from Paperchase when i was on holiday, and it had a really cool diamond stamp in the set – i knew straight away that it would be perfect for engagement cards.
In today’s video, i use two separate stamp sets to create a diamond ring heat embossed image. Then I added a wash of colour using my kuretake gansai tambi watercolour set. I haven’t got to play with them much yet, but i am loving how rich the colours are! WOOHOO!
Of course, i couldn’t get through a card without adding some Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle dies! 🙂
One day Piper was adamant that she was going to get artsy in the craft room, so whilst keeping an eagle eye on little miss pull-everything-off-the-shelves, i started making a card. I didn’t have the video rolling i’m afraid, so no video today- just some photos to share.
I have been playing more with copic markers. I am loving it, but i can tell that i need to be in a really focused mood in order to get beautiful results. With this little bunny, i was just experimenting, and had all the time in the world. AND, i LOVE how he turned out!
I kept the snout white, and i was playing with my cool grey tones, and i made this little guy a little different by using a Faber Castell artist pitt pen to add a mouth. Nothing too extravagant, but i love the way it turned out. Uber cute! Awwwww!
I pulled out one of my older, but still a favourite, Hero Arts Designer block stamps- the clouds! YAY! I used SSS mint ink on some mint coloured cardstock, and added a white panel die cut using a Mama Elephant landscape border die.
For the text, i pulled out some Hampton Arts Warm Fuzzies stamps, and i also used the SSS ‘Sending’ die, cut out from a piece of card stock which i have embossed using Ranger Liquid platinum embossing powder.
There you have it.
Thanks for stopping by, and i hope to have another video for you soon.
hello crafty friends!
i have another card making video tutorial to share today. This was a ‘congratulations on your graduation’ card for my mate Alexia, but for a play on words the greeting says ConGRADs, and used spotlight stamping to make the G-R-A-D really stand out!
The little monster is from the adorable Lawn Fawn Monster Mash stamp set, and i wanted to add some accessories to make the card theme specific – so i simply sketched these, outlined them with a Faber Castell Artist Pitt pen, and coloured them with copics.
Here’s the video so you can see the whole process.
