Our love keeps on growing – First Posted: Monday, February 08, 2010

I’ve made a valentine’s day card with todays digis, my sentiment on the inside reads “Our love keeps on growing”. I changed the colour of my tree to brown and my grass to green and printed them out. I coloured in my grass with pencils and punched out lots of small hearts and sponged them with pink ink. I made a little basket by punching an oval of brown card which I embossed with a basket weave pattern trimmed to the shape I wanted and added a handle with some spare card and a circle punch, I sponged both pieces with some brown ink and stuck them together. I carefully cut around some of the grass with a craft knife and tucked my basket behind it and filled with some of the hearts. I stuck the rest of the hearts to my tree with a couple on foam pads to add some dimesion and finished with a scalloped edge, some ribbon and a little heart button.

Painting with Bleach + another Free Digital Stamp – First Posted: Friday, February 05, 2010

I’ve been playing with bleach today which I didn’t think was working to begin with until I realised that not all paper/card stocks can be bleached lol, you certainly know it when you find one that can as it is so quick! It is a really fun technique.

I tested bleach on several papers and settled on this handmade one which bleached instantly. I printed my image onto my paper then filled an aquapainter with bleach and a little water and ‘painted’ my image trying to keep within the lines. This kind of paper soaks up liquid ultra fast so I dried my brush on a piece of kitchen paper frequently and made sure that my brush was damp rather than wet. I created the water effect by lightly brushing over the high spots of the texture in the paper. I printed a sentiment and glued it behind a frame and added some eyelets, I added some more eyelets to my card blank and strung the two together with brown embroidery thread to add a faux rope detail.

Cinderella’s Castle card + Free Digi – First Posted: Thursday, February 04, 2010

Good Morning

I have a little girls birthday coming up and thought that a Cinderella’s Castle card would be just the trick so I’ve whipped up a lil’ digi for you.

I printed my image onto white card and cut out with a circle die and lightly sponged with blue ink before removing the die to give a white border. I paper pieced some grass and a path then coloured my image with markers. I printed Happy Birthday onto some card, I cut around it with a ‘V’ at the end and manipulated it until I was happy that it had a flag like wave to it then attached it to the top turret. I layered my image with some spotty backing paper and some bright pink card and added a huge bow, some little butterflies and a dash of glitter for good measure.
