Nautilus background

 I got my hot little hands on this gorgeous background die from Hero Arts a few weeks ago. Of course, I had to do emboss resist, and of course, I had to use blues and greens. Of course.

Rainbow lattice for Paper Rose

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

 

I began with the Chloe's Coverplate Layer 2 metal die, cut from white cardstock. I popped it out of the metal die carefully so that the pieces mostly stayed in place. I popped out the pieces that I wanted to colour, and then put glue onto just the lattice piece and the pieces that I wanted to stay white, and adhered it to a top folding white card base. I coloured the rainbow with Copic markers and adhered them back in place. 

I finished with a printed sentiment from Black and White sentiment sheets, popped up on some foam adhesive.

Fusion: Summer Dreaming

Welcome to a new challenge at Fusion! This is my last ever post for the Fusion challenge blog - I have been on the design team since 2014, and have thoroughly enjoyed it! I decided earlier this year that it was time to step down.

The printed sentiment is from Paper Rose, cut with a die from Hero Arts.   I had a very, VERY old ink pad that had a rainbow of colours on a series of little foam pads. The foam had degraded so much that the pad was unusable, so I swiped the pad over some card bases and then scraped the degraded foam off the surface with a stencil scraping tool.

(You could achieve the same look by masking off stripes and ink blending heavily with a rainbow inks) 

Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation!

Monochrome for A Blog Named Hero

When I made this card, I had absolutely no ideas. I was on a Zoom call with some crafty friends in the USA, so I got them to choose some random numbers. I used one to choose the background stamp, one to choose the stamp and cut set, and one to choose the colour I used. This is what I came up with:

And, of course, because I cut the panel down, I got two cards for the price of one! YAY!
