Stretch Your Stamps 2 Multi Layer Emboss Resist Part 2

Hiya, I am doing Stretch Your Stamps 2 over at Online Card Classes, it's running right now if you want to join in. The beauty of these clsses though is that you can do them whenever you want :) This card uses all the same products as the last one so I won't repost them here. The only difference is the die is from mpress and I've added glossy accents over the top and scattered some sequins about the place lol

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Multi Layer Emboss Resist Part 1

Hi, well I am really into Online Card Classes right now and am currently doing Stretch Your Stamps 2. This is my first card for day 1. Yeah I'm a bit slack on the  posting front but get ready for a tonne of posts! lol.

I used Hero Arts Seafoam embossing powder, Windsor & Newton Cotman watercolours, watercolour paper, the background stamp and the letters for "to you" are from Fiskars stamp sets and the die was a freebie from a magazine :) Free stuff is good!

Watercolour Daisy Thanks

Hi Everyone, this week at Eclectic Ellapu I chose watercolour for the theme because I am doing a class at Online Card Classes. I bought a bunch more last weekend because they had $5 off every class except for the new one coming up. If you haven't guess this is the class I am doing, Watercolour for card makers, lol.

I used Windsor & Newton Cotman Water watercolours in a 45 pan set that I have with Stampendous Daisy Thanks clear stamps that I have stamped in Stazon jet black as my archival has grown legs and run for the hills... For some reason my Stazon had dried out something fierce and I had to reink it twice to get it wo work . . . For my first attempt at this technique it didn't turn out too bad lol.
Thanks for stopping by,

Hero Arts Watercolor Petals With Distress Markers

Hiya, I am doing classes at Online Card classes atm and one is Water Color For Card Makers, that link will take you to the main page. If you are interested in their classes right this very minute they have $5 off til the end of the weekend in the US. I bought a whole bunch lol.

For this card I used the Hero Arts Watercolor Petals with Distress Markers in Aged Mahogany, Victorian Velvet, Spiced Marmalade, peeled paint and I think Pine Needles. I created the border after I stamped (the opposite of what I was supposed to do and not with the right technique as I didn't have what I needed on hand) with some leftover Windsor $ Newton Cotman watercolours. The sentiments are from different stamp sets and when I find them I will let you know, they are stamped with stazon.

A Very CAS Birthday With Gelatos

Hi everyone :) Still having computer issues and well to be honest issues with the freezing winter we are having in Aus this year. It's that time again though and this time for the Purples it's ANYTHING GOES at Eclectic Ellapu. Sorry for the glare on my card but I forgot to take a pic before I packaged it up to sell lol.

This was a very easy card to make. Basically I stamped my image straight on to 300gsm white cs that is made so you can work right on it. I got it from a craft show I went to last year and I'm hoping when I go back in November that they have more. I  coloured using Faber-Castell Gelatos I used with a waterbrush straight from the tubes so I could get the intense colour. I made sure not to use too much water so the cs wouldn't warp and the colour wouldn't bleed through.

I went around the edge of the card with blue and smudged it with my finger and then did the same with a Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers Label with a pink gelato. I used foam tape to raise the label for a little dimension. As you can see this was a nice quick card to make and I was trying out another CAS idea. I'm getting there I think lol.
