My card today was inspired by Jo Herbert class from the Card Maker Success Summit I attended. If you missed it you can still catch up on all the classes by purchasing the VIP all access pass here . I have provided some basic instructions below, if you would like to delve further into any of the techniques you see please consider taking the class. I'm a true believer in supporting the original source!

Card Recipe:

1. Take a stitched rectangle for your main panel, on this panel I used a new water colouring technique. You could also use patterned paper here if that's your preferred method

2. Stamp your image on alcohol marker friendly card stock and coloour if your favourite medium. I'm using copics. Take a smaller stitched rectangle and die cut around your image so you don't have to fussy cut! Go ahead and stamp your sentiment in your preferred place on this panel too. I went for the fun small sentiment in this set!

Colour combination: 

Skin - E33, E31, E21, E00. Hair - E18, E15, E11. V Jumper and Hairband - BG18, BG15, BG13, BG10. Trousers - C7, C5, C3, C1. Under shirt - BV17, BV13, BV02, BV00.

3. Take some glitter/sparkle/shiny card stock from your stash. I'm using cut off scraps I get in abundance from papermill direct. I am using colours that match how I coloured my image so using a green type shiny paper that gives a subtle sparkle when hit by the light and then another strip of lighter sparkle card that is slightly smaller in width to the green one so that I can layer one of top of the other. 

There are tips in the class I took on how to get this same look if you don't own any type of sparkle/glitter card stock.

4. Layer your card pieces up using double sided sticky tape, why not add foam tape to the top layer or even 2 layers to add dimension for interest. I haven't done this here even though I had planned too (yes I forgot!) but thought I would pass the tip along anyway!

I love this stamp set, it was my first Kraftin Kimmie set I owned and felt I would finish up my month as guest designer using it. I have had so much fun, thank you everyone who has visited me during this month and taken the time to comment on my posts. I enjoy and appreciate each and every one.

Until next time, happy crafting!

I then lay on top of the new  Winter Forest Backdrop Die TIP: As the backdrop die cuts a whole panel you need to line up and lay on top after cutting the 2 shadow box panels and partially die-cut each panel so we don't cut off our attachment tabs.

April Challenge - MyBesties

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
