Stampin’ Up! Wild and Sweet for Crafty Addicts

Posted in Cards by

This month for the Crafty Addicts Design Team, I have again used the gorgeous Koala image from the Wild and Sweet stamp set. I just love it, it’s soooo cute! But I promise to start sharing some cards using the rest of images from the set soon.

The background on my card is a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock which has been embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
The koala has been stamped with some Early Espresso Ink, and very gently coloured with Blender pens in Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and some white Craft ink.

I did make a youTube video of creating this card, the lighting is not great but hopefully you can get an idea of how I have made it. And I’ve been working on fixing the lighting situation, I’m going to try that out shortly.

Make sure you check out what the rest of the Crafty Addicts Design Team have made this month, and please feel free to share your creations with us, we love to see what you have been making.
Happy stamping!
Chris

Try Stampin on Tuesday Sketch #545

Posted in Cards by

Here is this week’s sketch at Try Stampin on Tuesday.

I have used the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper for my card for this sketch, the only stamping is the sentiment.

The flowers have been fussy cut from the Designer Series Paper and then coloured. There are so many different ways to colour images but I thought I would try something a little different with these flowers because I wanted them to pop out from the card, so I wanted some nice colour intensity, but because it’s DSP, I didn’t want to be doing too much blending or brushing.
So I have used the Wink of Stella, and some Polished Pink ink, which I put onto the smallest of our clear blocks. The liquid in the Wink of Stella makes it easy to put the colour down and also adds that lovely glittery shimmer at the same time.

Pretty!


I hope you will pop over to Try Stampin on Tuesday to see what the rest of the Design Team have done with this great sketch. And maybe you will share your own creation with us.
Happy stamping
Chris

Stampin’ Up! Prized Peony Sponged Artwork

Posted in Artwork by

I spent most of my morning creating this piece, which I’m not quite sure what to call. It’s not really mixed media because it’s all the same techniques we would use on cards.
I have made it for a local art gallery which is having an exhibition where everything that is displayed must be 8 x 8 inches.
So I started with a piece of very heavy card, the type that sometimes comes in with the Specialty Designer Series Papers, which I cut to 8 x 8 inches, and also cut one of my pieces of Basic White cardstock the same size (the very same Basic White that I am trying not to use too much of right now!!). I have sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink, and then a heap of sponging with daubers over a decorative mask which was actually the front of a retired laser-cut card.
So heaps of sponging and stamping, and then watercolouring the Prize Peony. For that I have used Stazon Black ink onto Watercolour Paper, then coloured with ink and the Water Painter. The ink colours are Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Polished Pink.

I have also used some retired Designer Series Paper and ribbon, the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder, Very Versaille Stamp Set and Beauty of Tomorrow Stamp Set and matching Dies.

Happy Stamping!
