Kendyll Girl greeting card

Hi There

Today I am sharing with you a card I have made for Bizzy Bec's Design Team.

I have kept this one really simple but I love how bright it turned out.

I have used acrylic paint to create the stripes on the Background. 

I have then drawn fine black lines between the colours to define them. I have then splattered black and white acrylic paint on top of the rainbow stripes.

I have stamped the Kendyll Girl stamp in black ink and used the matching die to cut it out. 

I have then used the same die to cut out a piece of craft foam to mount it on.

I have added glossy accents to Her glasses for the shine on the lenses, but have left everything else black and white.

The Sentiment stamp, also from Picket Fence Studios, has been stamped in Archival ink onto of the acrylic paint.

Supplies Used: 

Picket Fence Studios : Kendyll Girl Stamp

Picket Fence Studios : Kendyll Girl Die

Picket Fence Studios : Live Happy Stamp

Thank you for dropping by to have a look. Don't forget to stop in at Bizzy Becs the you can pre-order 

these gorgeous products, there are some great new collections too.

Poinsettia Border Christmas cards for Paper Rose

Hi everyone

Thanks for stopping in to have a look at my newest set of cards for

Paper Rose Studio.

I have found the last weeks have flown by and I can't believe we are half way through October already.

I thought I had better get started on my cards for Christmas and I know that we will be there before we know it.

I wanted an easier and fast card but still having something special.

So I decided to team up the gorgeous new Poinsettia Border Die with some bright papers from the Arty Love paper pack.

These cards are not difficult to make and the gorgeous fine details of the die cut stands 

out beautifully layered onto the bright colours of the Arty Love papers.

The sentiments on all three cards are heat embossed in white on black card and they add some contrast to the cards.

I have scattered some Nuvo sequins onto the cards and hand glued them down, it took a few minutes but was really worth the effort.

There are clear sequins on the white strips on this card bit they are hard to capture on camera! 

You can see them on the card as you move it around and the light catches them.

Supplies used:

18348 Poinsettia Border Die

18225 Christmas Sentiments 4 x 6 stamp set

16576 Stitched Rectangles A6 Die Set

18378 Poinsettia Corner 4 x 6 Stamp Set( for sentiment)

Thanks again for stopping by

Until Next Time

paper Rose Studio lot's of Circles cards

Hi There 

I hope you are having a super day.

Today It's my turn for Paper Rose Studio to share some creative ideas. 

I wanted some simple cards that could be used for almost any theme so

 I kept them very simple and monochromatic.

These cards all feature the Lots of Circles die set and various leaf die cuts 

in white and some in foils.

The backgrounds are made using Distress oxide inks and they are sponged and blended

together to create an hombre look in greys.

Some of the die cut shapes have been put through my Go-Press hot foil machine 

to create some contrast.

This card has gold foiled elements to add interest and contrast.

I love this one possibly the most, I have foiled some elements in silver and some in rose gold.

17265 Lots of Circles

16548 Stitched Circles

Paper Rose Hummingbird Garden

Hi again.

I'm back with a project for Paper Rose Studios featuring the Hummingbird Garden stamp set.

 I wanted to create a bright and tropical look for this set of cards.

The hibiscus flowers are coloured with Copic Markers using rich and vibrant colours.

 I especially love how the reds on the flowers turned out.

For this card I have coloured and die cut all the stamped elements and layered them onto a background of blended distress oxide inks. 

The background colours are tumbled glass and broken china. 

I have heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder.

For this card I have stamped and masked the flowers to overlap them, I have then coloured the layered flowers with Copic markers. the sentiment " beautiful" and the hummingbird are die cut and layered onto the background.

For this card I have used a very old technique called mirror stamping.

To do this you stamp out the image onto a piece of acetate or a smooth surface, I have used an actual mirror stamping surface.

. You then take that stamped out image and you press that onto your paper like you would a normal stamp.

. This flips the image so now my hummingbird faces the other way.

Supplies used:

17475 Hummingbird Garden stamp set

17476 Hummingbird Garden Die Set

17304 Hello 4 x 6 Stamp set

16951 Layered Hello Die set

17652 Happy Birthday To You 3 x 4 stamp set

17451 Beautiful Layered Die set

I hope you like this set of cards.

Until next time

Paper Rose Vintage Motorcycle

Today is my turn to share a set of cards for Paper Rose Studio.

 It is Sunday evening here in Perth and Im afraid the day just got away from me, so sorry it's late

Todays Cards feature the Vintage Motorcycle Stamp set.

I needed a masculine card for my dad for fathers day and I always find masculine cards to be so much harder to create.

I decided to paint the backgrounds to look like woven fabric using acrylic paint and a bristle brush.

The process is slow and you need to keep turning your card 90 degrees to cross hatch the lines.

The panels that are on top of the backgrounds are made using some of the new stencils and texture paste. One of the panels has beed sponged in distress oxide ink.

Supplies Used:

17604 Vintage Motorcycle 3 x 4 stamp set

17605 Vintage motorcycle die

18195 Chevron Arrows 6 x 6 Stencil

18123 Half Tone 6 x 6 Stencil

18333 Hey Dad 4 x 4 Stamp set

I hope you like these cards, have you seen all the amazing new products that have been released over at Paper Rose Studio store?

I really am loving the new Stencils and the paper packs.

Until next time
