March - Techniques Class

I held my first Technique's Class last night. My lovely ladies made three 6" x 6" Technique Method cards together with 3 greeting cards each using one of the different techniques they had practised.

Card 1 - Emerging Colour - Emboss Resist Technique


Card 2 - Caught In Crystal - Re-Inker Technique


Card 3 - Fish - Punch Art Technique


This final card is a CASE of a fabby swap card I received last year from the very wonderful and talented Elaine Harding.

Beautiful Bliss .........


There is only a few more days left now before this gorgeous stamp set is no longer available. Sale-a-bration ends on February 28th and you will no longer be able to get this set for free.

These three cards are some of those that were made at my Sale-a-bration Celebration last Saturday.

The colour scheme used for them is Basic Black, Basic Grey, Sahara Sand and Whisper White. All the cards used the fabulous Pearls and the Whisper White Taffeta ribbon.

I will be really sad to see this set go, it's just so beautiful and versatile.

Contact me today if you would like to get your own free Bliss stamp set - available with any order of £45.

The colour scheme used for this class is Basic Black, Crumb Cake and Riding Hood Red.

Beautiful Medallion .....


I've had another go at 'Vintage' today :o) I love how the background has come out on this card. The technique is 'Faux Linen' which I've used before, but this time I did a little more sanding.

The main colours used are Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke and Elegant Eggplant. I've also used a little So Saffron, More Mustard and Soft Suede inks for the colouring.

The ribbon is Very Vanilla Satin and I have coloured this with my ink pads this time :o)

The little bird is from the Notably Ornate stamp set (page 65), the sentiment is from Artistic Etchings set (page 64). You can find the beautiful Medallion stamp on page 61. I have also used En Francais which is on the same page - both of these large background stamps are £16.95 each. Underneath the sentiment I used the lovely Decor standard wheel (page 70).

Vintage Bliss


I have used Sahara Sand and Not Quite Navy as my colour scheme for this card. The gorgeous DSP Blueberry Crisp provides the background paper.

The background is again sponged with the inks using daubers. The colours this time are Sahara Sand, River Rock and Not Quite Navy.

The Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon has also been coloured with Sahara Sand and River Rock Stampin' Markers.

More Bliss


The cardstock used on this one is Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Very Vanilla.
The inks used are Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and More Mustard.

I sponged the background onto the Very Vanilla cardstock using the inks listed and sponge daubers.

The little flower used on the background was stamped 'off' three times before using to give a faded look.

I used Daffodil Delight Satin ribbon, but firstly coloured it using So Saffron, More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Markers.

Bliss

Out of the 4 Sale-a-bration stamp sets available this year, I think Bliss is my favourite :o) It's a beautiful set and although the designs are in a Vintage style, they can be used to produce some lovely contemporary projects. Over the next few days I'll show you a few cards I have made with a Vintage feel to them :o)


The cardstock used on this one is Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Very Vanilla.
I used Early Espresso, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, So Saffron and More Mustard inks.

I sponged the background on to the Very Vanilla cardstock using the above inks and sponge daubers.
