So with all that said here is my inspiration for this week's challenge.

Card Recipe:

1. Take a stitched slimline die and cut from your favourite ink blending card stock

2. Ink blend from the bottom up a little way using wild honey into a sea colour such as mermaid lagoon into a sky colour of blueprint sketch, take a spritz of water over the panel to create some texture.

3. Take a stitched heart die, I'm using the 2nd largest in this set and die cut one centrally in and then another each side to create 3 heart apetures. Keep them hearts in the same are they came out from to keep it unified.

4. Stamp your desired images from the Kraftin Kimmie Turtley Awesome stamp set and colour in your favourite medium. I'm using copic markers.

5. Take a piece of card stock, I'm using pumpkin patch and use a short banner die to stamp your sentiment on, I've chosen the 'sending oceans of love' to keep within the heart theme

6. Now you have all the elements of the main card let's put it together, take a slimline card base. Mine is cut 8.5 long x 7, creased at 3.5. Attach the main slimline panel, minus the heart apetures using double sided sticky tape to the card base.

7. With the 3 large hearts take foam tape and stick these back in their place. Using foam tape for these gives the card extra definition around the heart area.

8. Stick your images in desired area and sentiment centrally at the top. I have attached the sentiment strip on foam tape also.

9. Create a shower of hearts in your scene by using the same colour cardstock as your sentiment batter and die cut small hearts, randomly place them along the sky to create your shower! 

Tip: Always embellish in odd numbers, whether this be sequins or extra die cuts like I have used here. You can also hold them a little above your project and drop them for random placement, I prefer this to having to think about where to place them!

This was so fun to put together, this could be an alternative valentines day card for a friend maybe? Or maybe someone you know would love this just to make them smile! I know I will be adding this to the happy mail I send to care homes here in the UK!

I will be back in a few days with more Kraftin Kimmie goodness, until then, happy crafting!

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 ha...

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...
