Just Because - you are amazing!

Hey Crafty Friends,

I'm back to share with you today a card using items from 2 different releases at Crafty Purple Frog. I also remembered to take step by step photos, yay! (Click any image to view larger)

Starting with a stitched rectangle I cut from a light grey cardstock. Grey is not usually a colour I'd use however it came in a multipack of cards and coloured card can be great for inking up sometimes as it's kind if already primed. So a light grey works well to be inked up and also use up the card you may not usually use! 

Inked background from top, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio.

Next up I took a paint brush and flicked water over the panel, dabbing dry with a piece of tissue. Then I took a small amount of the cracked pistachio ink and diluted with a small amount of water on the paintbrush and splattered this over.


For my scene I wanted a forest look but a more whimsical forest so took out some scraps of blues and green cards to cut some trees from a forest builder die set. I inked up this card using the same ink as my background and also splattered this all over the trees for more texture.

The images were stamped on alcohol friendly card and coloured with Spectrum Noir Triblends burnt orange. This is the perfect colour for this fox I feel. I added the bow from the Badger Sett for extra detail. Topped off with a sentiment from the Just Because stamp set using WOW embossing powder on stitched strips of rectangles.

I hope you've enjoyed today's inspiration, until next time, Happy Crafting!

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
