The Card Concept 225

 Today, I joined in with The Card Concept challenge to create this card using their colour scheme. I used a floral background stamp from Honey Bee Stamps (sadly discontinued) and a sentiment from Trinity Stamps. I coloured the image with Altenew watercolours, and I added a thin strip of teal coloured glitter paper.

Online Card Class Day 3

Online Card Class - Holiday card workshop 2022, day 3. I did a slightly modified version of the technique demonstrated by Kelly Taylor.

For the card on the left, I smooshed ink directly from my ink pads through the stencil onto the watercolour paper, but made a point of covering the actual stencil with ink. I sprayed the stencil while it was on the paper, the carefully lifted the stencil and moved my paper off to the side to dry. I then put a 2nd piece of watercolour paper down onto the stencil and pressed to make sure I picked up ink from all over the stencil. When I lifted it, I realized there was enough ink left to do it again, so I did!

Alcohol ink squares

 I made a card last year where I cut up an alcohol ink panel into squares and arranged the squares into a grid on my card front. (You can see that card HERE) . I've made that card design lots of times (honestly, when I find a masculine card design I like, I run with it!) but I decided to change it up just a bit.

Online Card Class - Day 3

Today's technique for the Online Card Class involves stamping and fussy cutting and paper piecing/layering, and is not one I will be using often, sadly. I didn't make a scene out of my pieces like Yana did in her video, I just made some custom patterned paper. It took AGES AND AGES to do! But I did get four cards out of the process, so that's something!

For the patterned piece, I used a background stamp from Simon Says Stamp (with the circles) to do my cutting. The cardstock is all from Stampin' Up. The pink pieces are stamped with a floral background stamp from Hero Arts, and the teal and pool pieces are stamped with a dotty background stamp from Hero Arts. The sentiment strips are all from Taylored Expressions. The Happy die is from Honey Bee Stamps.

The hello die is from Paper Rose Studio. 

The Seriously die is from Picket Fence Studios.

The Thanks die is from Simon Says Stamp.

Elaborate teal birthday

 My mum loves teal, so I think I will be keeping this card for her birthday next month.

The "elaborate" in the title of this post refers to the name of the background stamp I used (from Penny Black).  The dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, and I added the birthday stamp from Altenew.

Masculine happy birthday

I made this alcohol ink card for a workmate who really likes this colour scheme. It is definitely not my go-to colour scheme!

The sentiment die set is from Honey Bee Stamps, and the stamp is form Altenew.

Happy birthday bouquet

You've got to look closely at this one..... (there is a name for this technique - I just don't know what it is.)

I used the Hello Lovely bouquet from Concord & 9th, coloured with Copics, along with the Happy die set from Honey Bee Stamps, and the birthday stamp from Altenew.

 I will be sharing this card at "Where Creativity meets C9" for their "sparkle and shine" challenge. It's a little bit hard to see the sparkle, but I added Wink of Stella to the Happy die cut, and then covered it with Glossy Accents to add heaps of shine.
