Wishlist Doilies

Today's project I'm sharing is a journal page on which I've used the Unity/Bella Blvd stamp set Bella Doilies.

I used Derwent Artbars to make a background which I thenn blended with water. I stamped the doilies using various chalk inkpads to create some texture.

The lettering was done using rub-ons which I outlined with a fineliner:

Materials used: Unity stamps (as above), chalk inkpads, Derwent Artbars, Scrapworks Rubz, Letraset fineliner pen, Mamelok scrap.

Alcohol ink and Unity

Better late than never, but I've been busy enjoying the lack of rain with the kids!!

Today I've been playing with my neglected alcohol inks and some Unity stamps to make a couple of cards. Both of them use the same technique:

1. stamp on to glossy cardstock using Versamark ink
2. emboss the stamped image using clear embossing powder
3. add alcohol ink over the image and blend until happy with results
4. place piece of clean paper over the image and heat with an iron until the embossing powder comes off on to clean paper and leaves image on alcohol ink background

My first card uses the Urban Chevron stamp by Christy Tomlinson:

I added a sentiment cut on the Craft Robo and a Prima flower centre.

My second card uses Bella Doilies:

To this one I added a Kaisercraft rub-on sentiment.

As always, thanks for visiting!!

Butterflies and Doilies

I've used stamps by 2 different manufacturers to make my card today - Butterfly Moments by Flourishes and Bella Doilies by Unity Stamps.

I used one of the fab Doily stamps on the background paper inked with Versamark ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the butterfly set on to paper I'd cut with with a Nestabilities die. The two butterflies were stamped on to patterned paper and then cut out before being stuck on the card:

Materials used:

Kraft cardstock, Prima papers

Unity and Flourishes stamps (as above), Ranger sepia Archival ink

Kaisercraft rhinestones

Nestabilities dies
