Now let's get to my inspiration! 


As usual I got very ahead of myself and forgot step by step photos! This is a very easy card to put together, I even attempted a no line colouring method and love how it turned out.

I started with a stitched rectangle backing panel and stenciled up with a dotty stencil from my stash with scattered straw and cracked pistachio distress ink.

Next up I took 2 stitched oval dies cutting one in a mint green card to match my stenciled background and another the next size down from alcohol marker card as this is where I'm stamping my image to colour.

For my no line colouring I cheated slightly and used Toffee Crunch Memento ink then coloured up with gold brown triblend which is almost a perfect match to the ink. Use a dark grey or black to fill in the eyes and add dimension with a white gel pen. I like the signo uniball white gel pen.

Finishing up with a sentiment from the set and stamped some of the small leaf decorations in the corners using the circles in the stenciled background as a guide to stamp in. Couldn't resist some morning dew nuvo drops too!

I hope you have enjoyed today's inspiration for the new release, now hop on over to Instagram, follow the accounts listed in the poster and comment on each Crafty Purple Frog post for a chance to win!

Come back tomorrow for another sneak peak on the new release!

April Challenge - MyBesties

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
