Koi Pond Twist & Pop Card

 

Hello, today I have a card to share with you that uses the stamps and embossing folder that came free with issue 104 of Creative Stamping Magazine. The images were stamped onto smooth white card and coloured using Ohuhu Alcohol Markers. Clear Wink of Stella and White Gel pen highlights were also added to the fish. 

The background was made by colouring some card with Faded Jeans and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink and activating the ink with a spritz of water. When dry the card was then cut down into the desired size and embossed using the wave embossing folder. The raised areas of the embossing were then sanded back to reveal the white of the paper. 

The card was fiished with some hand made flowers and some blue Preal Drops.

Hope you lke this card and thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Nativity Box

 

Hello, today I have a Christmas Nativity Scene in a box to share with you that uses the Nativity collection from Craft Consortium.

The box base was made out of some leftover shipboard from the back of some paper pads and joined together with two hinges. The hinges were attached using paper fasteners as was the closure on the front of the box.

The box was lined and covered with the 12 x 12 papers from the collection and some gold tinsel effect pipe cleaners were added around the edge of the box.

The foremost sand dunes were brought forward and lights were added behind to illuminate the scene.

The images were stamped and coloured with Arteza Real Brush Pens. After being cut out they were then added to the box using 3D foam squares.

Some small wooden disks were added to the bottom of the box for feet to finish the project. 

I hope you like this scene in  a box and thanks for stopping by.

Bluebells and Buttercups Gatefold Pop Up

 

Hi, today I have a card to share with you that uses the Bluebells and Buttercups collection from Craft Consortium.

The images were stamped using Desert Sand Memento Ink and coloured using Arteza Real Brush Markers. A white gel pen was also used to add highlights and the images were cut out leaving a thin white border. 

The card base measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches (American A2) and was made from Teal cardstock. The patterned papers are a combination of the 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 Bluebells and Buttercups paper pads.

The butterflies were added onto acetate strips and stuck inside the pop up elements to make it look like they are flying. The card was finished using some of the sequins from the collection.

I hope you like this card and thanks for visiting.
