Paper Ink & Colour

This card was made using Avery Elle Warm Wishes stamps and dies, Lawn Fawn Merry Messages, Everyday Sentiment Banner dies and stitched Journalling Card die, Stampin’ Up  Merry Medley stamp, Hero Arts embossing powder and ink and finally Bazzill cardstock.

I began by stamping the background stamp in white pigment ink and set it aside to dry while I stamped the images and simply coloured them with Copic markers.  I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and then die cut all the elements.  I assembled the scene using foam tape in places for dimension and  added a gold glitter strip behind the sentiment banner and then assembled the finished card.

I am adding this card to the CAS(E) this sketch #341

The above card was made using Neat & Tangled Winter Wishes stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Antique Linen, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet, masking paper and Bazzill cardstock.

I began by creating the mask.  I die cut a circle and then masked off the bottom of the circle to allow me to ink a semi circle background using distress inks.  I then stamped the images and sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink.  I finally added snowflakes with white pigment ink.

I am adding this card to the current challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch #340

This card was made with My Favorite Things Hello There dies, Birthday Bears stamps and Blueprints 13, American Crafts glitter paper, Hero Arts white embossing powder, Cricut Explore Air and MFT cardstock.

Using the Cricut Design Space app on my iPad I created the diamond aperture and matching frame.  The white layer was then die cut using the largest die from Blueprints 13.  The frame was adhered before adding it to a top folding card base with foam tape.  I heat embossed the sentiment next then die cut the 'hi' word 3 times in white and once in silver glitter paper.  I added these elements to the card to finish.
