Day 3 sneak peaks - Crafty Purple Frog

Hey Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to day 3 of sneak peeks for the new Crafty Purple Frog release. Today we are sharing inspiration for the 'Foxy' stamp set. I love this one, foxes roam around our garden all the time so as soon as I saw this regal fox I just knew it deserved a special card! I've also paired it with the new Happy Birthday everyone stand alone sentiment stamp set.

For today's card I have created a shadow box card. I wanted to create a really bright fun spring themed card. 

Starting with my shadow box pieces cut out and used the solid grass stamp to stamp the bottom of the outside of the box pieces to create the grass. I then used a cloudy skies stencil on the outside to create a bright sky. Using some of the small leaves I also stamped these around randomly to give some extra detail.
Yesterday the team shared with you the Blooming Marvelous stamp set, within that set are some small bees so I decided to stamp a couple of these up around it too.


Before assembling the shadow box together I took the new 'Thorns' stencil by Craft Purple Frog and stenciled this on the inside panels of the shadow box and then used the same small leaves I used on the outside to stamp on the branches I had stenciled.

Now as usual I forgot step by step photo's! There are many videos online on how to assemble the shadow box search Heffy Doodle Shadow Box die on youtube and you will find a ton of inspiration!

For the rest of my images I stamped them up and coloured in Spectrum Noir Triblends. For an extra touch on my fox I added the mini rose to the head from the Blooming Marvelous stamp set to give her a real foxy lady look to match the sentiment.


The sentiment has been heat embossed with ultra fine bright white WOW embossing powder on strips of card cut from stitched rectangles and squares.

I hope you have enjoyed today's inspiration. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the last and final sneak peek, we might just have a party on our hands tomorrow!

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
