Brianna the Butterfly

Hi There,

 Oh my! 

June is almost over and I can't believe that the first half of this year is all but over.

For my turn on the blog for Bizzy Becs today I would like to share with you a card I have made using one of the new Stamping Bella Tiny Townie Stamp series.

I have created the background by stamping a leaf sprig stamp multiple times in a few shades of green. For this I have positioned my stamping in my stamping platform and turned the card base in a clockwise direction. Then i have repositioned the stamp twice more and repeated the process. 

This creates a wreath effect.

The stamped image is coloured with Copic Markers on blending card layered over the wreath.

Supplies Used:

Stamping Bella: Brianna the butterfly Die

Penny Black: Serene Stamp

Lawn Fawn: Simply Sentiments Stamp

Lawn Fawn: Everyday Sentiments Banner Die

Penny Black Watercolour Card

Hi again, its my turn on the blog today for Bizzy Becs.

I would like to share with you a card I made using the Penny Black Effulgent Stamp.

This stamp is different from most in that it is a solid stamp that you can use to create a watercolour effect.

I have hand coloured the surface of the rubber stamp with Tombow markers. I selected three shades of pink and two shades of brown.

I then stamped the coloured image onto damp watercolour paper.

I'm really pleased with the effect and found I had a lot more control wetting the paper rather than the stamp.

Supplies used:

Penny Black: Effulgent Cling Stamp

Penny Black: Happy Wishes Sentiment Stamp

Avery Elle: Wonky stitches Die

Poppy Stamps : Vintage Happy Birthday Die( own Collection)

You can pre-order all of these goodies in the store and you still have time to take advantage of the
