Seas the Day....

 

Hi everyone, dropping in today to share some inspiration with you.  

  I a few days ago, I was bitten on the palm of my hand by a bee when folding up the washing, so have found using my hand very sore and as it was swollen,  it made it very hard to bend my fingers .  Now the swelling has subsided I can get back to crafting - yay.

For my card I am using a stamp set from Altenew called Seas the Day.  As the card was  being done as a birthday card I found that the sailing boat was going to be perfect for  what I had in mind.

I coloured the stamped image with Polychromos Pencils and you will find the colours used are listed below.  My background was coloured using Distress Oxides and for the sky I used my cloud stencil.

Supplies used:

Altenew Outline Stamp Set - Seas the Day

Altenew Stamp & Die Set - Happy Sentitments

Lawn Fawn Die - Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables

Polychromos Pencils

Sails: Magenta, Cold Grey VI, Mid Cadmium Red, Alizarin Crimson

Sail Boat: Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Bistre, Brown Ochre

Distress Oxide Ink Pads - Stormy Sky & Uncharted Mariner

(a similar result could be achieved using Distress Ink Pads)

Thanks for looking.

Until next time - Happy Crafting

Statement Flowers.....

 Hi everyone.

Wow October has just flown by so fast, can't believe how close we are to Christmas.

Today I would like to share with you my latest creation using a stamp from Altenew called Statement Flowers.  Such a pretty stamp.

To create my card I first stamped my flowers over the top portion of my card, then coloured with my Copic Markers.  To highlight my flowers I then came in with  Prisma Coloured pencils to create depth. 

My background is also done using a Prisma Coloured Pencil and Zest It.  Finally I flicked some White & Black from my Posca Pens over the completed piece and  then die cut to create the top feature. The bottom piece is a left over from the inside of  my Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Die.

Supplies used:

Altenew Stamp - Statement Flowers

Altenew Stamp & Die Set - Happy Sentiments

MFT Die - Stitched Basic Edges

Lawn Fawn Die - Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables
