13th Birthday

Hello everyone.

Sharing a teenager card with Guardian of galaxy characters. This card I made for my son friend birthday.

For 5x7 card,

Guardian of galaxy dies I colored with copic markers and added little highlights with white pen.

Patterned papers,

I used Crealies stitched circle die to cut Red and yellow colored papers which I made with Brushos powders. This circle looks like a planet.

MFT number dies cut from pattern papers and I cut extra more numbers from black card and glued them together for dimensions.

Sue Wilson stitched banners and stitched rectangles dies,

Tattered lace sentiment die,

Papermilldirect card and little gem stars stickers.

The photo before putting card together.

I enjoyed making this card especially playing with Brusho powders.

Quick and simple watercolored cards

Hello everyone.

Sharing two cards where I used my son water colour paints. I just could not find my set of paints and he didn't mind me using them. 

I have used Dreamees stamp sets for the flourishes and sentiments with white embossing powder WOW and silver Papermania powder on the cards. I choose pink and purple colours for the images and matching card Papermania. Thinking of you stamp from my stash.

Crealies stitched frame dies.

Crafters companion watercoloured card.

I may add some sequences for little sparkle to cards.

The images was watercoloured twice for brighter colours. 

I did find my watercolor paints in the box with some card stock, not sure how it end up there. 

Thank you for looking and leaving your comments.

Happy Crafting.

Celebrate

Hello everyone.

Just sharing a card tutorial with some water colouring techniques using distressed inks. This project I made for Creative Minds Kind Hearts group which you could find on Facebook.

For the image I used All dressed up stamp.

I used stamping platform, firstly I stamped the image with watering can archival ink then I stamped again with wersamark ink and embossed the image with clear embossing powder. This way the ink won't go over the embossed lanes.

Choose coloured inks for the image to colour. Here you can see inks of my choice. I choose broken china colour for the dress because I had already a matching coloured card.

Add inks onto acrylic block 

For the skin colour I used Tattered rose ink and applied the ink with the brush using small amount of water (you don't need lots of water) I added the ink around the top of face for shading then added a bit of water to the rest of the face for lighter colour. If you have too much water on the image you can always take it out with kitchen towel while is wet and apply some more colour if you desire.

For the dress I used broken china ink, I kept shading on the left side and pleats by applying the ink.Then drag the colour with water to the rest of the dress. You can mix the ink with water on the block for lighter colour.

For the hair I used antique linen ink and gathered twigs ink. Apply darker colour to hair for shading.

 Also I added some hickory smoke ink with water to the bottom of the image.

And here is coloured image.

To make this card.

All dressed up stamp,

Aqua A4 card from Papermilldirect fold in half, cut the header die from Tonic on the top of the folded card.

I added some glitter kiss by creative creations to the bows on top of the card 

 Here is some measurements for the card in inches on the photo. And in centimetres is 13cm by 17cm.

Cut the sentiment "celebrate die"from Trimcraft die set four times, I cut three times in white card and one in aqua card. The easiest way to glue them together is to keep the sentiment in the card which is shown in the photo below.

I added the glitter kiss to the sentiment for sparkle.

 For mating and layering I used silver glitter card from Hunkydory cutting with stitched Crealies dies.

Matt the white card with image onto silver glitter card and to the front of aqua card. Also matt and layer card to the inside of the card.

Add the sentiment to the left top side of the card and some gem stones to the card.

Hope you will try using your inks to watercolour your images. 

Happy crafting!
