Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper | Dot Dot Stamping Designs

Hi and welcome.
Today is the first time this year that I am taking part in the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop.
Each week some of the members of the Art with Heart Team share their talent and ideas with some wonderful Christmas inspiration.

My card today uses some of the Sentiment Christmas Suite, including the gorgeous Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. So yummy!!
These are in the Mini Catalogue which goes live in just two days time, on the 4th September, 2024.

The stocking image is stamped with Stazon ink onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and watercoloured with inks and a Water Painter.
Over the top of the white areas of the stocking, I have added some silver Metallic Enamel Effects which I have brushed on.
The layer of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper has been distressed around the edges and sponged with some Crumb Cake ink, and then adhered to a Pretty Peacock cardbase. Before I added the stocking, I lightly flicked some white craft ink onto the paper but it doesn’t show up well in the photo. I have also added some dots of gold Metallic Enamel Effects onto the paper and also a couple on the stocking image and the bow.

Next along on our Blog Hop is the lovely Christine Blain.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy hopping along through all the Christmas inspiration.
Happy stamping,
Chris

We are creating projects using the gorgeous neutral Pecan Pie for this week’s blog hop, and I have chosen the sweet koala image for the Wild and Sweet stamp set for my projects.
The first card I am sharing is a very simple one, great for those just starting out in cardmaking and stamping.

I have used a card base of Pecan Pie, with a strip of gingham in the same colour from the Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper. The white panel is die cut using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, and the koala stamped in Pecan Pie ink. I’ve added a couple of gold adhesive backed dots from the Festive Pearls for a finishing touch.

My second card uses the same elements, and Pecan Pie cardstock base, this time with a strip of the gingham down the right hand side. I’ve used some of the Fluid 100 Watercolour paper with a water brush, and added some Balmy blue and Mossy Meadow ink across the paper. Then once it dried, I have again stamped the koala in Pecan Pie ink, and added some Linen Thread. The focal panel and the gingham layer have all been sponged with Blending Brushes around the edges with Pecan Pie ink.

If you would like to watch the video of how to make the second card you can find it on my youTube channel. You can get a better idea of the colours in the video.
I will also be uploading it to my new facebook group. It is a very new group and I would love to have more of you join us at The Dotty Stampers.

Next on our blog hop is the talented Kate Morgan.

Chris
