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!

Guest post for the Darby Creek Diaries

 Today, I am the guest of Gale Thompson of the Darby Creek Diaries. She asked if I would like to be her guest on her YouTube channel, so I made this card.

All the products I used are linked below. If you want to see how I made this card, please visit Gale's YouTube channel!

Patterned paper piecing

 I discovered a couple of weeks ago that my stash of birthday cards was particularly depleted, so I used a technique shown in an Online Card Class last year by Kristina Werner to make a bunch of cards super quickly! I pulled out patterned papers from some 6x6 packs in my stash (all now discontinued), making sure that I chose papers from the same pad for each card so that I knew they would match (I'm not good at putting patterned papers together!)


Using this technique, you get 3 cards from the 3 patterned papers - you just mix them up to get 3 layouts - so I made 24 cards in total!

Wildflowers for Paper Rose Studio

 I have a simple thank you card to share today for Paper Rose Studios.

 I stamped the wildflowers along the bottom edge of my card with Versamark, and then white embossed them. I used blending brushes to add Distress Oxide inks over the embossed flowers, and then sprayed and splattered some Perfect Pearls powder mixed in water over the ink. I finished with a printed sentiment on some foam adhesive.
