Sketchy Roses in gold

Hi there 

I am sharing my third card for the month of  June for Paper Rose Studio .

I have used copic markers and gold embossing to create a card that I feel is almost fabric like.

I was so inspired by Yana Smakula's Youtube Video that I just had to create a card using those beautiful yellows combined with gold embossing.

I love how gorgeous the rich yellows look against the dark background, combined with the added contrast of the gold embossing. I am really pleased with the end result and I adore that little glitz that the gold embossing powder gives.

I love how the flowers pop on the dark background it gives them a more dimensional look.

First off, I cut out some masks of the two main roses from the Paper Rose sketchy roses stamp set.

I use Gina K Masking Magic, it's really thin and stamping over the masking magic doesn't leave this elittle spots that have missed around the mask edge.

You will need a Misti or stamping platform to be able to stamp again over the top of the coloured roses

 so you can add gold embossing after colouring.

Using my Misti I have stamped out the two roses in black ink

 and then coloured in with my copic markers.

Without moving the stamps I have then placed my coloured roses back into my Misti and stamped over the top with versafine ink.

Then I have embossed with gold embossing powder. I used Ranger Princess Gold.

After embossing I have repositioned my card back into my Misti and worked out where to place my next two roses.

Masking the now embossed original flowers I have stamped the two roses again in black ink and repeated 

the steps once again.

Colouring with copic markers and re-stamping in versafine ink to gold emboss. I have repeatedly stamped and coloured until I have filled in all the larger open spaces with roses.

After colouring and embossing all the roses I have then used a C9 copic marker to colour in a dark background.

Supplies Used: 

18636 Sketchy Roses 4 x 6  Stamp Set

18255 Friend Layered Word Die

Gold Embossing Powder

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Versafine ink

Copic Markers

Daisy Border stained glass card

Hi there

I have created another stained glass window card using the 

gorgeous Daisy Border Die from Paper Rose Studio.

I love making stained glass cards.

 The colours seem crisper after the glossy accents has dried.

I love the 3D texture of these cards too.

I have coloured with Copic markers before stacking up layers of my die cut,

there are five layers of the Daisy Border die to create the depth around the petals needed  to fill with glossy accents for the stained glass effect. 

I have used the same colours of Copic Markers to colour the shadow die cut behind the Sunshine word die.

Supplies Used:

18518 Daisy Border Die
17463 Sunshine Layered Word Die
18144 Sunshine Words 4 x 4 Stamp Set

Watercolour Effect Using Tombow Pens And Garden Gems Stamp

Hi 

Today I am sharing a card for Bizzy Becs and inspiration for our monthly challenge.

More information on the blog.

I have used Tombow Brush markers to colour in my Penny Black Photo stamp, This one is called Garden Gems but you can use this technique with any "photo" real stamp. 

In other words the stamp needs to be a solid stamp and not just a thin line outline.

I have used the Tombow Brush markers to colour directly on the stamp starting with my lighter colour first and gradually moving on to my darkest colour.

Once fully coloured in I have very lightly misted the stamp with water and

stamped it onto smooth watercolour paper.

Once dry I have die cut a section of the stamp using a stitched Oval Die from my collection and 

 stamped my sentiment out in memento ink in Black. 

You can use any black inkpad that you have. I just had my Memento handy.

I have then layered this onto a lacy die-cut background.

I hope you are well and getting in some crafty time.

My card today is for paper rose studio, using the Lovely Blossoms stamp set.

Just A Note

Hi There,

I can't believe that May is almost over, 

I hope you are well and safe wherever you are.

Today I am sharing my third card for May for Paper Rose Studio.

Last year i made a set of cards using a technique called" stained glass window effect".

you can see these cards here

 I have made another card using that technique to add depth to just the flowers on the card. 

My last set of cards using this technique were entirely covered in glossy accents!

To create this card I have die cut my Blossom Outline die and it's base layer as well.

After gluing these two layers together I have coloured in and shaded the petals of the flowers

 and  leaves with Copic Markers.

You don't need to worry about any colour getting on the framed edges

 as we will add another three layers of the outline die on top of our base.

After all the layers are glued together and dry, 

carefully fill each little section of the flowers and leaves with glossy accents and leave to dry completely.

I have then added a final layer of the Blossom Outline die 

to neaten up the edges, this really helps to create a really clean look

 if any of the glossy accents went outside the lines.

The background of the card is simply layered up on grey and Neenah card.

I have cut out my sentiment in a soft silver metallic card.

I have glued silver micro beads on the flower centres with glossy accents 

Supplies used:

18168 Blossom Outline Die

16969 Quatrefoil Layer 1

16551 Stitched Ovals Stacked Dies

16576 Stitched Rectangles A6 set

18288 Just a Note Layered word Die

Copic Marker Colours:

G20, G21

R20, R21, R22

Lined Leaf Card

Hi Everyone

I have another card for Paper Rose Studio  that I would like to share with you.

I have used the Lined Leaf Outline die set to create a simple card 

in a monochromatic colour palette.

Yes! this is a colour photo! I love how all the grey shades look together.

This card is really simple, you just need to cut out multiple leaves in light, medium and dark shades of the same colour family.

For example if I have cut a skeleton leaf in pale grey shade you will glue that onto another leaf the next shade darker.

I didn't paper piece all those little bits back in! no way! If you look at the picture above you will see that I have kept some of the leaves intact. I have done this using a layer of press and seal on my card before die cutting. 

I have removed the press and seal before gluing my leaves down.

All the leaves are assembled by adding a lighter skeleton leaf on top of a darker full leaf base.

I think they look really effective and I didn't have to glue in all those little squares!

The card is completed by gluing the leaves down on a double matted base in a random pattern.

Some of the top layers are mounted on foam tape.

I have layered up my sentiments as well using white and grey card.

Suplies Used:

18685 Lined Leaf Outline Die

18255 Friend Layered Word Die

16951 Layered Hello Die

I hope you liked this card 

until next time
