Watercolor For Cardmakers Intermediate Day 5 - Card One

This is another super easy technique, I plan to revisit this when i get better brushes! I think I add too many stems though lol.

I used Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles, a random Lifestyle Crafts dies for the rounded rectangle and the sentiment is from Stampendous' Hot Rocketz.

Watercolor For Cardmakers Intermediate Day 5 - Lesson 4 Card

This was a simple panel to turn into a card as I didn't want to cover up too much of the flowers. I made my own banner and used a combination of Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral to get close to my flower colour.

I also used some brads and a sentiment from Crafters Companion I got in one of their magazine deals that come with loads of stuff :)
Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for taking the time to look :)

Watercolor For Cardmakers Intermediate Day Three - Lifting Card

This was my first attempt at lifting, it's on a paper that colour would lift from if rewet so I cheated lol. I got some Brushos for christmas and had played around with them . . . a lot lol. Anyway I loved the amount of colours in the leaf green one so just made a panel of that and thought hmm wonder what the KaiserCraft stamp and cuts I got for Christmas would look like on that. As a result the precut leaves were sitting on my desk and I thought why not. I cut the branch up and used them as my leaves for this flower. They are stamped with Archival ink.

I also used Distress Ink in Worn Lipstick on a Mpress Sentiment stamp. I used a Spellbinders die and the circles I added to the front of the card are from die as well.
Thanks for stopping by.

Dried Marigold, Texture Paste and Spellbinders

Hi everybody, sorry I've been away for so long, but I've had a busy month! Been on holidays, my daughter graduated high school among other things lol. So we have a new challenge starting at Eclectic Ellapu and for the Purple team the the theme is to use Texture Paste. I was a bit challenged by this card, nothing seemed to balance out but I got there in the end.

To start this card I used a Heidi Swapp mini stencil, with Liquitex texture paste. Over this I used dried marigold distress ink. I also used distress ink around my card base. I then used my ebosser to cut Spellbinders dies, the top butterfly layer is vellum. I used more dried marigold on these as well as to stamp the Fiskars sentiment. I added some ribbon and bead string as well as bling from Kaisercraft to finish.

I used Distress Inks in Fired Brick, Mowed Lawn, Frayed Burlap and Vintage Photo. I used stamps from Fiskars and Mpress as well as dies from Lifestyle Crafts and spellbinders. I also used a mini stencil from Heidi Swapp.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Kissing (I cheated)

I admit I cheated lol, no kissing on my card, that's because I don't really have many graphic stamps and the ones I had were already patterned :). I did like the effect though. Again I have used the Fiskars Shapes N' Such set with Distress Inks in Mustard Seed, Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender, Spiced Marmalade and Spun Sugar, the sentiment is from TPC Studio, stamped in Archival ink.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Random Patterns

I have to say this card for Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes posed a bit of a problem as I don't really have many graphic stamps but I found Fiskars Shapes n, Such in my stash and it had two patterned squares of differing sizes. I also used Distress Inks in Ripe Persimmon, Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass and Peackock Feathers as well as Archival Black to stamp the sentiment from Kaisercraft. I wasn't wholly happy with this one so stay tuned fo Take two!

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Combo Card

For this card I used stamps from Fiskars (alphabet), TPC Studio (elephant), Hero Arts (greeting) and See Dee's (balloons) with Archival ink and Dylusions as well as Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, Squeezed Lemonade and Pumice Stone. Really need practice doing these, guess I am using too much water, but it's kind of sweet :)

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Over The Edge

So I am at the mid point, Day 6 of Stretch Yours Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. I tried using this Mpress stamp for another technique but there wasn't enough open space for colouring. It looks great for this technique though :) I used Hero Arts white embossing powder, Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves, Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed and a brown which I cannot remember lol. I need to start taking notes as I create! I died some white grosgrain with the distress inks to match and used staples to attach to the tag. The background is stamped with the same colours of ink stamped off so its barely there, using a Cherry Blossom stamp from Fiskars.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Easy Watercolour Outline and Debossing

So we are at my second card from day 5 of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes and I have chosen to use an Mpress stamp set, same flower again I know lol. It looks good what can I say?  I used Distress inks in Pine Needles and Aged Mahogany for the flower and Tumbled Glass for the border. I have used some Hemtique Twine and a Buttuerfly border punch I have for the itty butterflys. Really need to start writing on my dies what brand they are . . . I coloured the butterflys with Aged Mahogany so they tied in with the flower and sentiment from Whimsy Stamps.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Word Art Stenciling

This is my second technique for day 3 of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes and I have to say in trying to keep up with class I am a little bit too lazy to to attempt the other two right now, maybe at the end when I have more time lol. For this card I used a Heidi Swapp butterfly stencil with distress inks and Primas Notary stamp along with Versamark and Zing Aqua embossing Powder on a Fiskars Laughter Quote stamp for a pretty cool one layer card.

Still on day 2 of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. This card uses resist with paint but my paint wasn't cutting the mustard so I switched to embossing powder.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Metallic On Black

Another technique from day 2 of Stretch Your Stamps 2 at Online Card Classes. For this technique I again used Stampin' Ups Floral Background stamp. I used Perfect Pearls in Blush, Ranger Superfine Clear Embossing Powder, Spellbinders D'lites sentiment and Xcut Bloom dies as well as my Ebosser, oh and perfect medium.

Stertch Your Stamps 2 Colouring and Tiling (not so much...)

So I don't have a background stamp suited to this colouring technique so I decided to go in a whole different direction. I took a stamp set I had recieved free with a magazine and paired it with Hampton Arts Clear Expression stamp set Beach Bum.
This technique is from day 2 of Stretch Your Stamps at Online Card Classes. As you can see I used fussy cutting instead of tiling . . . Hey whatever works, right?

Today I also used Gelatos in the following colours, Black Licorice, Blueberry, Butter Cream, Butterscotch, Margarita Mix, Metallic Blueberry, Metallic Grape, Metallic Melon, Metallic Mint, Red Cherry and Snow Cone. Phew that's a lot of colours lol. I also used Hero Arts White embossing powder, an embossing buddy and the Stampin' Up blender pen. I think I'd like to try the Dove one though as my Stampin' Up ones are almost dry I think.
