The Dancer card

 

Hello

I am back to share my last card for October for Paper Rose Studio.

I wanted to make a special card as this project is also my last project for Paper Rose

As I am leaving the design team.

I wanted to say thank you to all The crew at Paper Rose and to my fellow design team members, 

It has been a fantastic four years!

I have stamped my image onto pastel  paper, I like the Canson Mi-Teintes.

It has a good tooth on the paper for heavy pencil blending.

I have also stamped on a separate piece my flowers 

that I have fussy cut out once coloured

In wanted a dark background and decided to create a spotlight effect by coloring using a lighter colour 

Around the dancer and moving out to darker shades toward the edges of the card base.

It takes a lot of layers to get this effect and the pastel paper holds up well without the layers 

of pencil getting to waxy.

I have used a sentiment from the Uplifting Type pack and added some distress oxide ink in 

Antique Linen so that it wasn’t so stark white against my background.

The flowers are also coloured in using pencils and fussy cut out,

 I have added dots of white paint pen to the centers for contrast.

Supplies used:

27829 Dancer Clear Stamp

18183 Lovely Florals Blossoms Clear Stamp

19432 Uplifting Type Sentiment Pack

Distress Oxide ink- Antique Linen

Bruttfuner pastel pencils

Prismacolor Pencils

Posca white paint pen

Thanks for stopping by,

I will still be around social media and I hope to be spending 

More time doing mixed media projects and drawing.

Bye for now

Big Blooms In Soft Watercolour

 

Hello

Today I would like to share with you my latest project for Paper Rose Studio.

It’s another floral  card in soft pastel watercolour.

I made this card for a wedding as I really love this

Big Bloom Stamp.

My card base is watercolour paper 

I have stamped in versamark ink and heat embossed in white, 

As the watercolour paper has a reasonable grain to it making stamping a little difficult,

I used a stamping platform so that I could stamp multiple times.

This ensures good coverage and no gaps in my embossing! 

Once stamped and embossed I have coloured using Prima watercolour 

in the pastel colour set.

I have added the Large Love Layered word and I have foiled both layers in gold and silver. 

To complete the card I added gold splatters in ink and some gold gems.

I also used sentiments from the All Occasions Sentiment pack.

Supplies Used:

Paper Rose Studio

20707 Big Bloom Stamp

18042 Love Large Layered Word Die

22339 All Occasions Sentiment Paper Pack

20165 So Extra White 1.0 Sentiment Pack

Sarah’s Bouquet in Prismacolour Pencils

 

Hello There

I can’t believe that we are now into October already

Time seems to fly by these days!

I have my first project of the month for Paper Rose Studio to share.

I really enjoy colouring florals and decided to use pencils for the details in this beautiful bouquet.

I have used MiTientes pastel paper as my card base as I really like the tooth on

This paper for coloured pencil work.

I have stamped the bouquet stamp out in Versafine  black ink.

Once I had coloured all the leaves and flowers,I used two shades of light blues to blend out the background.

I then added splatters of acrylic ink in gold and black.

As the pencil blending took some time I decided to keep the rest of my 

Card  simple, leaving the floral bouquet the main focal point. 

To complete the card I have die cut the word wishes out of plain black card 

And added sentiments from the All Occasions sentiment pack.

Supplies used: 

25234 - Sarah’s Bouquet Clear Stamp

26110 Tall Script words Wishes Blessings

All Occasions Sentiment Sheets

Prismacolor Pencils

Acrylic ink Black

Windsor and Newton Metallic Gold Ink

Thank you for stopping by to see my latest card 

I will be back with another card on the 14th

Monkey Birthday card

 

Hello Again 

I am back to share with you my third project for  this month.

Today I have used coloured pencils for this fun card.

I have stamped out the leaf stamp three times at the top of the card base, this gave me a nice tree line 

When adding the swinging monkey.

The leaf stamp wasn’t very large so I didn’t need to mask anything as there wasn’t any overlap.

Once I stamped the monkey so that he appears to be swinging from the leaf branches,

I have used my prismacolour pencils to colour in both the leaves and monkey in. 

Prismacolor pencils can get waxy so I have used a lot of light layers to build up the colour.

Supplies used:

27460 Monkey and Sloth Stamp Set

24712 Bold Leaves Stamp

19289 Big Black and White Sentiments

18454 - Blending Brush with cap

Distress Oxide ink - Tumbled Glass

Carson MiTientes Pastel Paper 

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at my latest card 

I will have three new projects for you next month

Until next time

Juliet’s Blooms on a Watercolour Background

 

Hello  there. 

My latest card that I am sharing with you today has a background 

That was made using watercolour pencils.

The card base is Ranger Distress watercolour card, I

 like this a lot when using watercolour

 pencils because It is really heavy duty and 

doesn’t flake or buckle when I add a lot of pigment with the pencils and the water

Needed to move the pigment around.

Once I scribbled my chosen colors out onto the card  I used a wet brush to blend out 

The pigment mixing the colors together.

Once dry I added some liquid sparkle in areas following the patterns created 

When blending out the pigment.

I stamped out the flowers and leaves in Memento Tuxedo black ink

 onto blending card and coloured them with Copic Markers, I then used my Scan N Cut

 to cut them out which saved having to fussy cut them out.

I cut out the words from The Tall Happy Birthday die set four times and 

Glued them all together stacking them to add some dimension, once this was done

 I used some antiquing wax on them to add a hombre effect

 making the words darker at the bottom. 

I then added a little liquid sparkle to add some glitz.

I also added a few clear gems to the centers of the flowers.

Supplies Used: 

25840 Juliet’s Blooms Stamp Set

26101 Tall Script Happy Birthday Word dies

Happy Father’s Day

 

Hello There

As today is Father’s Day here and also my day to share a project

For Paper Rose Studio

I thought I would share my card I made for my Dad this Father’s Day.

I have used watercolour pencils to colour wash the woodgrain card and once dry I have

Used mixed media glue to seal the colour.

I have then ink spritzed the card so that the woodgrain texture shows.

Once dry using Heavy Body paste i have stenciled the industrial stencil over the top of the 

Woodgrain base.

The Vintage motorcycle was stamped in Versamark ink and embossed using black embossing powder and cut out using the matching die set.

I have used Copic markers to colour the stamped image.

 I have coloured some of the white negative space around the bike with Copics

 in similar colors of the background as this helps inter grate everything together.

Helen’s blooms for Paper Rose Studio

 

Hello again

It's my day to share another project for 

Paper Rose Studio, 

and my card today is flowers.

I am a big fan of copic colouring flower stamps and today I have used 

the Paper Rose Helens Bloom's stamp set.

I have used the nesting slimline rectangle die for my card base, so this is quite a large card!

The oval frame is made by taping two of the nesting slimline oval dies, by spacing them evenly apart 

you get a large oval frame to use. 

I have also used the centre piece that cutting the frame makes, and this has been embossed using 

the Baby Blue embossing folder.

When stamping out the flowers I have stamped three together masking the flowers

 to prevent an overlap.

The flowers once coloured are cut out using my Scan N Cut.

Supplies Used:

23837 Helen's Blooms Stamp Set

20868 Nesting Slimline Rectangles

25615 Nesting Slimline Ovals

Olivia's Blooms Thank You Card

Hello

Today I am sharing my second card for July  

for Paper Rose Studio

This card is a bit different from my usual style because it has a patterned paper 

base layer that really gives it a fresh look that contrasts well with the bright coloured daisies. 

The base of the card are simple die cut papers using the nesting slimline ovals dies in the largest size 

and the Nesting Slimline Stitched Rectangles also in the larger size.

The daisies are from the Olivias Blooms stamp set and I have stamped out this cute little daisy 

out several times onto blending card 

using Memento tuxedo black ink 

and coloured with copic markers in bright pinks and oranges.

Once coloured in I have used my scan n cut to die cut the flowers and leaves 

and scattered them onto my background 

 some of the daisies and leaves are stuck down using foam tape 

raising them up off the card base.

To complete my card I have used the Thank You Block word die which I have cut out three times and stacked the letters together to lift the letters  up off the card base. 

Its a bit fiddly glueing all the letters together but it does make the sentiment stand out and it 

looks neater then using foam tape.

Trevor and Friends Birthday card

 

Hello again

I am back to share my third project for June.

My card today has a gel medium resist background using a stencil 

to create the pattern.

Creating the background is quite simple, I have taped my stencil down on to my base card, that is cut larger than my card size which will be trimmed to  the size I want later on.

I have then applied clear Gel medium to the stencil using a palette knife. 

Once I have applied an even layer across the stencil I have removed the tape and stencil. 

I have then let the gel medium dry completely.

I have inked the stencilled gel medium with Distress Oxide ink using a blending brush.

There is a lovely texture to the card base and i thing that the damask pattern looks 

like vintage wallpaper.

My stamped image has been coloured with copic markers and cut out using my 

Brother Scan N Cut machine.

I have completed the card with a couple if die cut sentiments.
