Galaxy Peonies!

Today I am sharing a galaxy themed card, inspired by some beautiful multi-toned stamped flowers that I had seen on Instagram. I recently bought a galaxy themed paper pad from The Works, so decided that rather than paint the flowers by hand I would stamp and emboss them onto the paper pad itself! The stamp set is peony bloom by tonic studios.


After this I added a little dimension to the flowers with some mica and metallic watercolours and some shading with coloured pencils. I added a flower centre using Dovecraft pearl effects in gold to the largest flower. For the leaves I used a Sizzix die set called floral layers cut in a shade of gold mirror card and a matt metallic gold card. The background was done with splatters of gold mica and metallic watercolours on black card. I went around the edge with my gold ink pad. 


Finally the sentiment was partly cut out of purple mirror card with some small Trimcraft alphabet dies, and the second part was printed out on my computer. Thank you for looking, I hope you enjoyed!

Rolled Watercolour Flowers Tutorial

Image
Hello, today I wanted to write a bit of a tutorial on the rolled watercolour flowers I have been making, as I got a few requests on how they were made. Quite simple and a nice way to brighten up your card! To make them you will need some thin watercolour card, a rolled rose die, I used one from a magazine and one from a craft work cards wreath set, purchased from craftstash. Then you will need something to colour them with, I used watercolours and a paintbrush. Then a pair of tweezer to roll and shape them. Cut the flowers using your dies, I could do two at a time with my watercolour card. Then I added the colour as is shown below. Allow them to dry until they are just slightly damp. It isn't completely necessary to do this step, but I used my flower shaping tool and a foam mat to curl each of the petals upwards, by pressing down on each petal on the back of the coloured side. Then use your tweezers to curl the flowers, starting from the outside of the die c...

Simply Cards and Papercraft Feature!

Image
Hello, I have shared this news on my instagram and craftworld pages, but I wanted to document it on my blog too. I was lucky enough to win a page feature in Simply Cards and Papercraft issue 205 through a competition on craft world! Below is a sneaky peak of my feature, I've taken a picture of the card itself next to it! For the competition I had to make a fathers day card and I decided to make a clockwork themed card inspired by the design you see through some watches. I cut the letters out and put the cogs behind it. You can read more in the magazine about what I used to make the card! The magazine itself comes with a lovely tropical themed stamp set with co-coordinating dies and embossing folder. I've included pictures below of two cards that I have made with it so far! All using watercolour backgrounds made using the packaging technique. I stamped all the images using black memento ink and coloured using my promarkers. The ...

Opulent birthday pop-up box card.

Image
Hi, I hope you are all doing well. Today I am sharing this card I made a couple of weekends ago. I haven't been feeling so well recently so have only been able to do little bits of crafting here and there. However I really love the colour scheme I used for this pop up box card and I am working towards making an anniversary card in similar tones. This card was in part inspired by the paper pad I used. An opulent forever friends one by Papermania. Such beautiful foiled papers and I wanted to use one of my new Sizzix die sets to make the little party items to go in the box. I started by making the box shape, using my scoring tool and I used a die from the works to add the scalloped edges. I then added a little gold ink to these to make them stand out. I then matted and layered the gold and spotty papers onto each of the 8 panels. This in itself took quite awhile but it was worth making sure I had all the layers relatively even.  I then added the bars in ...
