Card Recipe:

1. Take a slimline die cut panel, I'm using this postage stamp style edged die from the Slimline mini mail dies set and die cut from your favourite ink blending card stock, I'm using Bright White card stock today.

2. Take some green inks, I'm also using my Catherine Pooler inks today. These inks are quite juicy and make it easier for me to cover the card panel a little more quickly on this slimline design today. I start with the lightest green Garden Party, then from the edge inwards use a slightly darker ink Grass Skirt and leave your central highlight of the lighter ink. Take a darker ink lastly Eucalyptus and darken round the edges. Spritz a little water to react the ink to add extra texture and interest to the background.

Tip: if you need to make your blended lines comes together more take the brush of the lightest ink you used and blend them out, you can always repeat the ink layers again for extra depth and this also usually helps with the blended lines!

3. Now we're going to create some apertures on the card front using this die that will create fun lift tabs on my card. This also means I have more space for more images to hide under! I die cut this 3 times down my card.

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

Colour Combo:

Pandas - C7, C5, C3, C1

Bamboo and Balloons - G17, G14, G12

5. Back your panel with apertures onto a green card base. Mine is cut 8.5x7, scored at 3.5

6. Use an acrylic block to stamp your sentiment under the top flap and another sentiment under the bottom one

7. Attach the rest of your images with adhesive glue, don't forget to hide one under that middle flap!


I hope you have enjoyed today's inspiration, don't forget to comment for your chance to win some Krafty $$ and be sure to check back tomorrow for more inspiration and fun!

Until next time, happy crafting!

    Love the mint/ spring green colours! Goes well with the bamboo! The sentiment flaps are a great idea!

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
