Splat, Zonk, Boom!

Hey Crafty Friends,

I'm sharing brought and cheerful superhero card today using the latest Scrappy Boy Stamps release. 

I've used some of the fun word sentiments in my design however you will notice I've left an area rather blank. This is so I can add an extra sentiment at a later date for when I find a need for this card! Do you ever leave cards without a main sentiment on in your stash so you can add one later? This is a great way to build up your stash without knowing what you might need it for!

We're going to do a little creative masking today using Memo Tape. This is a low tack tape that you can use and remove from projects easily without tearing your paper or card stock. You can use anything with a straight edge like printer paper to get the same affect as me today, anything that can be adhered temporarily, removed and moved around will work!

Firstly I took a stitched rectangle panel from bright white card stock and stamped the 3 words a little randomly around the top of my page, using my chosen image as a guide to where I'd place them. Take some memo tape or masking paper and stamp the same words onto this too, with a pencil draw a rough splatter around the words and fussy cut them out using scissors. Place these over your stamped words to create masks.


Now take some longer strips of memo tape and firstly place one piece diagonally in the vertical view and take another piece and place this horizontally as you see above, we've now created our first square. Using candied apple to ink blend over the whole area first, then use a dot stencil straight over the top with fired brick for a tone on tone look.

Now remove just the horizontal mask strip and move this up using the line you created with with red as the guide to line it up correctly again, now you have the bottom left area perfectly masked. Cover the area in squeezed lemonade ink and using the same dot stencil over top with mustard seed.

Repeat the steps by removing both horizontal and vertical masks and move them over to expose the right hand side areas. Top right mermaid lagoon with blueprint sketch on top. Bottom right twisted citron with mowed lawn.

You can now remove all your masks including the splatter ones you made over the words.

Colour your words, I'm using copics, even though my main panel isn't alcohol marker friendly card stock the areas are so small this card stock has enough give to allow you to blend together small areas quickly and still get a nice blended look. 

Colour combo: YG09, YG06, YG03. Y17, Y15, Y13. R37, R35, R32.

Lastly I stamped my image on alcohol marker friendly card stock and coloured using copics.

Colour combo: C9, C7, C5, C3, C1.

I hope you have enjoyed today's inspiration and know that you don't always need a special stencil or dies to get a cool affect with products you might already have in your stash!

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
