Today, I am excited to be the guest of Scrappy Tails! Their recent release included these stunning butterfly stamps, so I went all rainbow with them (well, almost a rainbow - no green today!)

On this card, I embossed the butterflies onto vellum and coloured the back side of the vellum with Copic markers to match the ink blending I did on the bard base underneath.

Mosaic Rose for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made for Paper Rose Studio.

 I cut the Mosaic Rose die from Whisper White cardstock and from black cardstock. I adhered the black die cut to a panel of black cardstock of the same size, and painted it with iuile mica watercolour paints. I then adhered the whisper white die cut over the top of the black layer. I adhered a piece of blue cardstock to a top folding white card base on an angle, adhered the die cut and watercoloured panel on top, and adhered a printed sentiment to the bottom right of the panel.

Some ink blended oxide inks, some paper glitz sparkle splatters, and a silhouette stamp from Simon Says Stamp.

Glitzy 3d embossing

 I've had this embossing folder for a while, and never used it. I decided to try using it with some coloured cardstock and swipe a white ink pad over the top to add some definition to the pattern (as I saw Jennifer McGuire do in a recent video). However, I decided to step it up a bit by also rubbing some Paper Glitz from Picket Fence Studios over the top, too, and I got the most amazing shine!

I added a flower from Altenew coloured with COpic markers. The sentiment on the first card is from the same stamp set, and the sentiment on the 2nd card is from Paper Rose Studio.

Alcohol inks with cover die for Picket Fence Studios

 One of my favourite techniques is to add white die cuts over an alcohol ink on yupo background - this technique came to mind as soon as I locked eyes on this gorgeous Lavender Frame Coverplate die.

 

For a bit more interest, I added some pink foil over the alcohol ink. 

Also, do you see? We now have dies to match the More Fancy Sentiments stamp set! Woo hoo!

One-layer stenciled card for Picket Fence Studios

I made quite a few one-layer cards form this month's release at Picket Fence Studios - here's another one!

I used the Fireburst Stencil, but I masked it so that I only used one corner of the stencil. I used my Life Changing Blender Brushes to ink in almost a complete rainbow of Distress Oxide Inks, moving the stencil each time. I finished by adding a sentiment from More Fancy Sentiments.

I;m also sharing a card I made a little while ago by mixing different Paper Glazes together to get some new colours.

I started by stamping the Ponchatoula Strawberries image with Picket Fence black hybrid ink. I then mixed Peony Pink and Marigold Orange paper glazes to give the Strawberry red, and I mixed Leaf Green and Fern green to give Chlorophyll for the leaves. The sentiment is from Fancy Sentiments and I used the Knots Scales stencil int he background with Distress Oxide ink. The sentiment from Fancy Sentiments is white embossed on a scrap of black cardstock.
