Dip-Die Inspired

Hi there and happy Friday! Looks like the weather is picking up so I hope you will all have a great weekend :)


Today I want to share with you a card with a ombre/dip-dyed feel.....

I firstly created the background on watercolour card using pink watercolour, I kept the colour deep at the top and washed it out more and more the further I went. I then added some white die-cut feathers using the Feathers Dies from Paper Smooches and added some white thread to the top of them.

For the sentiment I cut Lil Inkers 'Seriously Die' out of gold craft metal and finished the sentiment with gold ink using Lawn Fawn 'Flutter By' (sorry OSS but there are lots of other sentiments that would work with this 'seriously', but if you really want this one it will be back in store in a week or 2 ;) ).

I hope this has inspired you today!

Distressed Flowers!

Hi there! 

I'm ushering in spring (not that outside is any different temperature-wise!) with a bevy of blooms courtesy of Lawn Fawn 

Really simple to create- just two colours of distress inks per flower and then sprayed with water to add a lighter colour and texture.

I've then cut out around the stacked blooms to give a different edge and accentuate the flowers.

I've added navy stripes and some Glossy Accents on top of the strips and flowers 

It's a little over the top- but hey, you can't have too many flowers can you?!

It you're looking for another way of using this set- why not watercolour them rather than use distress inks? 

See you next week

Hello.

Lots of Lawn Fawn restock are back in store today so what better than to share a lawn fawn card.

I have used Flutterby set. 

The images are stamped in archival black ink and coloured with stampin up markers and water. 

Its all very cas and I just simply added some glimmer mists to the butterflies for some sparkles.

Thanks for looking.

Clean and simple

Happy Tuesday! It's Ruby here.  I think you might want throw tomatoes at me this week.  I haven't had time to make a card so am posting one I made a couple of weeks ago with my new fave set, Lawn Fawn Flutter By.  I know, I said I'd do something different but this set is soooo adorable.  Hope you forgive me!

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler.  I think both sets are out of stock right now, maybe I've started a trend!

Have a fabulous week!

 

I'm doing pink!

Hi there, Ruby here.

Hope you're having a good week so far. 

As you have probably noticed pink is not my go to colour! I don't mind darker pinks or corals, but this kind of pink isn't my fave. I do however love using this copic trio, R85, R83 and R81 because it's really nice to work with and I wanted to make a card for my friend who loves pinks.

 

I wanted to create a flatter card for posting so thought I'd layer up with papers, something I haven't done for a while.

I used Lawn Fawn's Flutter By (Sorry, I promise to use something else next week!), Lawn Fawn's Check This Out (I cut the stamp so that I could just use the happy birthday words) and the leaves are from Paper Smooches Friendly Flowers.

Copics used ..

What colours do you rarely use?

 

Going Floral

Hi there, it’s Ruby here.  I’m running a bit behind today because I had it in my head that it was Monday, not Tuesday!  Half term always messes up my routine!

Here is a card that I created using the lovely Lawn Fawn Flutter By, I told you that you would probably see it again soon!  I LOVE it!


The sentiment is from the Paper Smooches Word Salad and the butterfly is from Paper Smooches Spring Fling.  I love this little set.  At first I thought I’d only use it for Easter but actually there are so many lovely little stamps in it I’ve used it loads.  I LOVE the little bird, he’s adorable!

Copics used…

YG05, YG03, YG01, R24, R22, R20

Have a great week!
