Something Lacy Brayered Background card

Hello Everyone,

I have something extremely pretty to show you today.  I've been playing with the new background stamp Something Lacy combined with the Irresistibly Yours Sale-a-bration patterned paper and here is the result on this card.  I must thank Linda Heller (When the rubber Hits the Road) for this idea I saw on her blog.  Let me explain further how this was achieved.



The background was firstly stamped over the Irresistibly yours patterned sheet with Memento Black ink and the excess blotted and wiped off.  I then brayered over the piece with Pink Pirouette ink, again wiping off any excess.  I then completed my card using cardstock of Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White and Basic Black.   The greeting comes from the stamp set Label Love stamped in Blackberry ink and punched with the Artisan Label punch.  The butterfly is cut using the Butterfly Thinlits and in the centre of it is one of our new Something Borrowed embellishments.  Heres the full photo of the card.




I am trying this technique out in a couple more colours, so look out for that in the coming days.  See you next time.

    Stunning Carolyn. Will be giving this a try for sure. What did you do for your BB butterfly? Did you just trace and fussy cut?

      Thanks very much Louise. For once this card wasn't all about the Butterfly, lol, but yes that's what I did, used the negative from the die cut butterfly as a stencil to trace and hand cut the solid one behind. cheers. xx

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
