Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame and Life sentiment stamp

Afternoon crafters

Had some free time so thought I'd blog a card I made the other day using

Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame 
Life sentiment stamp
Both by www.beecrafty.net 

Also used:
Distress Oxides: Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick, Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio
Black onyx versafine ink

A very simple but beautiful card to make using masking, one of my favourite techniques 

I masked off a panel down the middle of the card 

The distress oxides were blended across the panel, placing emphasis on getting a smooth blend between each colour, using a circular blending motion 

The Splatter Swirl Upright Rectangle Backdrop Frame and the Life sentiment were both stamped in black onyx versafine ink 

I stamped part of the Backdrop Frame stamp in the top left hand corner of card blank, to balance my card

I hope you like this card as much as I do

Chase Your Dreams from For The Love of Stamps

Morning crafters xx

It's Friday..Yay 😊

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the
Chase Your Dreams stamp set.  I love Dream Catchers so this was a must purchase! Lol

Also used:
Distress Oxides : Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick
Stencils
Black onyx versafine ink
Smokey Grey versafine ink
Glossy Accents
Rainbow mirri

I cut a square of black card, a slightly smaller square of rainbow mirri and a slightly smaller square of white card 

The black card was adhered to the card blank and the mirri on top of this

I blended layers of the Distress Oxides over the white card,  spritzing with water and drying in between each layer of ink

I used the Oxides through a stencil 

I stamped the feathers in the smokey grey versafine ink,  second generation to create a subtle background effect

The dream catcher and attachments were stamped in the grey ink as were the embellishment stamps in the top two corners

I stamped the rope in black onyx versafine ink as well as the sentiment 

The Oxides were used to colour in some of the stamped jewels, to create a hint of colour 

To complete I added glossy accents to the centre of the dream catcher and then adhered it to the layered card blank

Thankyou for taking the time to look

Altenew Watercolour Frames stamp set

Good morning everyone
Hope you are all well xx

Today it's my weekly Monday morning blog showcasing products for
Bumbleberry Papercrafts

I'm sharing a sample I made using one of the newly released Altenew stamp set

Watercolour Frames

This is such a versatile stamp set, creating beautiful frames to images and sentiments but can also be used alone as a texture stamp.
Over the next few weeks I hope to show you different looks from these stamps , from pretty to grungy..so watch out for them xx

I also used:
Distress Inks : Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord
Stencil
Gold embossing powder
Versmark Ink pad

For this sample I decided to use the Spotlight technique so I cut 3 mats in black card,  in decreasing size, and 3 mats in white card, slightly smaller.

I set the black mats to one side

Using temporary adhesive tape, I stuck the 3 white mats on top of each other, in the design I wished the spotlight to be

Using Versmark ink I stamped the outline decorative circle randomly over the 3 mats but ensuring one was stamped centrally on the smallest mat

I heat embossed them with gold embossing powder 

I then stamped the plain outline circle, in Versmark ink,  randomly over the mats and again heat embossed in gold

I stamped the sentiment in the centre of the smaller mats frame, in Versmark ink and heat embossed in gold

Using my distress inks I blended them all over the 3 mats

I also used them to ink through a stencil, to add more depth to the card

Once dry I carefully disengaged the 3 mats then adhered each of them to a black card mat

The biggest layer was adhered to card blank first then I carefully lined up and adhered the middle sized mat and then the smallest mat, to complete the sample 

I hope you enjoyed looking and please feel free to leave comments. .I love to read them xx
