Help is never far away!

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today I get to share inspiration with you using a previous release from Scrappy Boy Stamps.

This card was one of those happy accidents, I had a beautifully blended background for a Halloween themed card before I knocked over some liquid I had on my desk which created a right mess! 

I decided to try and recover the background anyway and these Superhero stamps felt like the perfect fit! Do you throw backgrounds away that are messed up or recover/recycle them? I would love to know in the comments below!

Card Recipe:

1. Blend a background from Wilted Violet, Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin and Squeezed Lemonade

2. This is where I spilt water on the project, you can get the same affect by adding flicks or drops of water onto the background and dab away with kitchen towel. Keep adding water until you have a sort of Bokeh sort of affect! If you do want the colours to mix like mine did you can also drop water onto the background and first take another piece of card stock and layer on top, rub over this piece and remove then use kitchen towel to dry main background a little. This was my happy accident lol!

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

4. Take a stitched strip die and stamp a sentiment on. I've used a dark blue card stock with a dark blue ink to tie in my blue coloured image

5. Attach images and sentiment strip with foam tape


Until next time, happy crafting!

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
