Merry Christmas From Down Under

 

Hello Crafty Friends

Happy Christmas to you all, and thanks for stopping by.

It's my day to share a project and as it's Christmas Day and super hot here,

 I thought I would share a card that says all that!

I have coloured the background panel with Copic markers

 leaving white space at the top of the card to stencil in my clouds. 

I have used Distress oxide ink and a blending brush for the clouds 

after colouring the water and sand I have used a white posca paint pen, dotting in the space where 

the sea and sand meet to look like waves, this helps to "join" the area where these two colours meet.

I have coloured Santa in with Prismacolor Pencils and used the matching die to cut him out.

Supplies Used:

20715 Summer Santa Stamp Set

20716 Summer Santa Die Set

Copic Markers:

B99  B18  B16  B05  BO2  BG53

E33  E31  E30

Prismacolor Pencils:

Little Bunny Girl Christmas Card

 

Hello

I am back with my second project for December for 

Paper Rose Studio.

The card that I am sharing is not your traditional Christmas card but with the right

sentiment almost any stamp can 

make a great alternative Christmas Card.

My Image has been stamped onto pastel paper and coloured with Prismacolor Pencils.

I have then fussy cut out the image.

The background Die has beed raised up by attaching it to the stitched frame die cut 

and using foam tape to set both in place.

This gives some depth to the card base and pops the stamped image.

I have cut out the Merry Christmas in black card and added liquid sparkle

for some interest on the bolder block letters.

Supplies Used:

23365 Little Bunny Girl stamp

16679 Stitched Rectangle Frames Die

21063 Chloe's Coverplate layer  2 Die

Three Wise Men

 

Hi there 

I am back with my third project for November

and Paper Rose Studio.

 As we are heading towards Christmas at great speed I thought i would share  another 

Christmas card, 

this one has ended up  bright and colourful.

To create the card base I have blended Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar masking off 

the background with a stencil to create an irregular shaped colour block as my base.

The background has also been distressed with water and splatters of gold paint.

The three wise men are coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

 I have fussy cut them and arranged them 

on the card base.

I kept the card really simple and clean as the colours looked so cheerful and

bright together.

Supplies used:

23818 Three Wise Men Stamp Set

18225 Christmas Sentiments 4 x 6 Stamp set

Prismacolor Pencils

Distress Oxide Spun Sugar

I hope you liked this project and are able to find some creative time in your day.

Holy Family Christmas Card

 

Hi again

I have another card to share with you.

I have used Prismacolor pencils to colour my stamped images.

These beautiful Christmas stamps are from Paper Rose Studio.

For my background I have used my scan n cut to cut out a mask for

 my background.

I have used distress oxide ink in Speckled egg to fill in colour. I have also splattered the background with gold paint whilst the mask is still in place.

After colouring in my stamped images I have fussy cut them out 

and layered them up to create my nativity scene. 

My stamped out sentiment has been cut out with the Scan n Cut 

and I have added some tiny gold stars to finish,

Flowering Gum Christmas Card

 

Hi There 

I am so shocked that it's November already! 

 For today's project I have made a very Australian

Christmas card using the Paper Rose Studio Flowering Gum stamp.

I will share a few more Christmas cards as it will be there before we know it.

I have kept  the card really simple as I feel the Gum leaves and flowers

 are the main feature here.

I have used Prismacolor pencils to colour the stamped image.

When doing such intense pencil blending I prefer to use Mi-Tientes 

pastel paper as a base, it has a lot of tooth and grabs the waxy pigment of the

Prismacolor pencils really well.

After stamping the image I have built up the pigment slowly adding layer after layer of pencil until

the textured surface of this paper has filled out. This can take awhile and sometime you need to use a blending pencil ( clear wax) or a light coloured pencil to blend the layers together.

To complete the card I have used a yellow Posca paint pen to add the flecks of 

pollen on the tips of the gum flowers.

I have also used the Merry Christmas everyone die cut from black card 

for a simple sentiment. 

Supplies used: 

23152 flowering Gum stamp

22150 Merry Christmas Everyone Die

Prismacolor pencils

Lined Leaf card

 

Hello again,

well we are now in October and isn't that just a bit crazy.

It's my day to share a card with you for 

Paper Rose Studio.

I Think that this card is a bit different from my usual style and a bit fun as the background is the star with a subtle detail in the skeleton leaves and the sentiment.

The background has been made by using two colours of ink

 and a blending brushthrough a stencil.

I have used a teal blue and a dark grey ink blended together 

to create this smokey look.

I have also backed my leaves and sentiment with vellum to soften the lines.

Supplies Used:

Paper Rose Studio Peonies

Hi There

I have another project for you.

I have used very clean strong lines for this card so I decided to keep everything

very monochromatic and used grey and black tones.

I have stamped out my leaves and flowers onto watercolour paper. I used a masking technique 

allowing me to create a cluster of leaves and flowers.

By doing this I couldn't use my co-ordinating die to cut out my stamped image.

After stamping and watercoloring I used my Scan n Cut to cut the image out with a small white border.

I have also stamped out the happy birthday and cut that out with the Scan n Cut 

as well as a shadow in black card.

Supplies Used: 

17148- Peonies 4 x 6 stamp set

18623 - lots Of Leaves Clear Stamp

Hello

I am back with my second project for August.

I love silhouetted flowers and the Wildflowers Stamp From

Paper Rose Studio is so gorgeous stamped onto soft blended background.

This is a very simple card but is effective with the dark silhouetted wild flowers 

on a blue blended background.

I have used distress oxides in Speckled Egg, Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio to

colour the circles all blended using my blending brush.

I have then stamped my wildflowers randomly on the circles in black versafine ink.

 

When assembling the card

 I have stacked two of the slimline card creator bases onto of each other 

for added dimension and added words from the Wildflowers stamp set 

and bestie die cut word to finish.
