Hello

This one was a bit of a happy accident, I was playing with some spritzing inks on watercolour card.
The bottle of ink hadn't been used for a while and the nozzle was clogged so when I sprayed it I produced a big blob of ink on the card, I put it to one side but because it was such a blob it ran down and made a 'stem'.


From this I thought it looked like a dandelion and so decided I would stamp an actual dandelion over the top.
I used Personal Impressions stamps and instead of using ink and embossing powder I tried using glue direct to the stamp and then copper gilding flakes.

The sentiment die is by Cuttlebug.
I did try recreating the card but with green ink and this time with embossing powder but I prefer the look of the gilding flakes as the shine is much better.

Enjoy

I'm trying to get back into the card making routine.
Seems like at the moment there is always something else that needs doing!

The card above started out as being taller and having scallops on three edges. I trimmed it down and used the off-cut scallops as trim instead. The 'enjoy' die is by Sue Wilson.

In my scraps bag I had some card that I'd sprayed with inks and never used.
I've added a stamped flower (Woodware) and a strip of vellum that I've stamped and heat embossed - I think the stamp is by Hero Arts but it came without any packaging (shop ex-demo)

In real life the inks are quite shimmery but the camera hasn't picked it up.

Hello

Very much a waste-not want-not card

Vellum sentiment is a sheet that came in the box with my Webster's Pages planner
The layered coloured stripes are the ID/ pricing strips that I cut off sheets of 12 x 12, again Webster's Pages (and rare for me that I used straightaway, normally papers are kept and stroked for months days)

Hello Sailor!

We made this card at craft club yesterday.
The sentiment stamps are Waltzingmouse and the shell stamps (just about visible, we stamped in Versamark) are by Hero Arts

We attached the navy card to the card-blank just using masking tape and cut a hole through both using a circle Nestie die. Then we removed the navy card, did the stamping and heat embossing, and then adhered a small piece of acetate over the hole.

The navy card was then fixed to the card-blank, the same circle die plus one two sizes bigger used to cut silver card to make the porthole.
The gems were a last-minute decision, we didn't want to make it too fussy but decided the gems looked like rivets or whatever they are called.

The anchor is a Memory Box die and this was glued to the inside of the card.
Some more stamping of the Hero Arts shells to finish.
