Glitter for Stained Glass

Hello friends,

Today I'm sharing a Confirmation card I made a few months ago in a hurry and forgot to share it. The ongoing Time Out Challenge graphic made me realize that this card wasn't shared.

   

Products used:

#pinkfreshstudio (Sunburst stencil), #catherinepooler (ink), die (company unknown), glitter, #stampsimply (sentiment stamp), #sakura (gelly roll pen), gold paper & cardstock. 

A panel of cardstock was inked with the layered sunburst stencil. The image was die cut in black, the negatives were removed and adhered on an adhesive sheet. The adhesive sheet was fussy cut around the die cut, and inlaid die cutting was done for the cross and dove. Then, each section of the window was covered with glitter after masking the ones one either side. The card base was covered with gold paper, then layered with the stenciled sunburst and the die cut was glued in the center. The card was finished with the stamped sentiment and an eye for the dove.

Wishes for PTI's New Blog

Hello friends,

Here's a card I made for the very first color challenge on the new Papertrey Ink Challenge Blog. I decided to play with an old, forgotten PTI product from my stash. 

Products used:

#papertreyink (Spring cutaway tags die, Tropical Teal ink & Huge Sentiments die), watercolor paper, watercolors, butter paper (for circular background) & Kraft cardstock

After die cutting the image, it was colored with watercolors. For the back of the die cut, a piece of butter paper left over from transferring the texture onto two pieces of cardstock was used. The butter paper piece was scrunched as much as possible, which gave it the appearance of an intricate network of fibers. It was ink blended on one side, then cut into a circle slightly smaller than the die cut. The uncolored side was glued to the back of the die cut, allowing the light teal color to show through. The Kraft die cut was adhered to the card base, followed by the watercolored image. The card was finished with a die cut sentiment and negatives from past projects in gold for the tiny flower centres.

Scrunched Paper Background

Hello friends,

Here's a card I made for the PFS August Challenge- Beautiful Backgrounds. I went through my PFS stash and challenged myself to try a new technique and use a die to peek through the background. This took a bit more time and effort than creating an easy background with stencils or stamps, but it was fun.

Products used:

#pinkfreshstudio (Spiral Circle die & sentiment), #catherinepooler (inks) & gems. 

A half A4 sheet of paper was scrunched up as much as possible. It was then inked using blending brushes. The inked panel was adhered to the card base with liquid glue. A panel of cardstock was die cut, glued over the inked background and cut to the size of the card base. Finished off with a stamped sentiment and gems.

Stenciling on Patterned Paper

Hello friends,

I'm sharing a card I made for the IG Hop 'Stencil Fun' with complementary colors as the theme. Inspired by the challenge at CASMixup I tried stenciling on patterned paper for the first time. 

Products used:

#dollarama (stencil), patterned paper, #catherinepooler (inks), gold acrylic paint, #lilinker (stitched square die) & #crealies (Happy Birthday sentiment in French)

The stencil was inked on patterned paper using the detailed angled blending brushes. The swirly portions of the image and flower centers were painted with a thin paint brush. The paper was die cut, glued on the card base and finished off with the die cut sentiment.

Words of Hope for Cancer

Hello friends,

I'm sharing a card I made for the IG Hop 'An Encouraging Word' inspired by the verse from Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." 

Products used:

Awareness ribbon (printout), wax paper, #catherinepooler (ink), #justrite (die cut words), #k&company (transfers for words on strips), #liliofthevalley (corner stamp) & #sakura (micron 01)

After printing the free printable awareness ribbon, the subtle texture on the ribbon was created using wax paper. The wax paper is scrunched, placed between two sheets of paper to be used for the project (in this case the printout and a piece of cardstock for a future project) then ironed at a hot setting. The ribbon was ink blended, fussy cut and adhered on the card base. The sentiment strips were made with rub on transfer alphabets, then glued in place along with the die cut words. The card was finished off with stamped corners joined with the micron.
