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

Other:

White Embossing Powder

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 

Until Next time
