Dreaming!

Hey Crafty Friends,

I thought I would give this weeks MFT Sketch Challenge a go, I have a few sets by MFT that don't get enough love in my stash! 

The sketch challenges are perfect for whether your just looking for something new to try or if like me your mojo is running low its great to help you not think too hard on a card layout!

So here is my version of the weeks sketch using the Magical Friends Stamp set. I literally live on coffee so this card is themed on me LOL!

Card Recipe:

1. Take a piece of patterned paper. I'm using Dusk Ink Drops paper pad by Craft Consortium. This paper is fab for a faux alcohol ink look without having to get messy!

Cut it down so you have just a strip leaving some white space on the right hand side of your card, I've stuck mine down with some double sided sticky tape, I prefer this to glue for larger pieces of layering to stop warping!

2. Stamp your image on alcohol marker friendly card stock and colour in your favourite medium. I'm using copics.

3. I also stamped some of the speech bubbles however only the largest part the bubble, I stamped 6 times in order to lay them out per the current sketch. Add a small amount of shading to them using C2 and C1 copic markers

4. Use foam tape to stick down your main image and adhesive glue to place down your speech bubbles.

I have purposely left my speech bubbles blank without images and also left my card without a sentiment so that I can add these at a later date when I find a need to use this card!

This was a really quick card to put together thanks to the patterned paper! Do you have a stash of paper you don't know how to use? Why not give this sketch idea a go yourself!

Until next time, happy crafting!

Starting with 2 large panels from the  Big Shadow Box Die cut from  Wintergreen  card stock. 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.

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
