Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 228 - Flowers

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi! back again to tell you that it's time for another challenge over
at Crafty Cardmakers.

Kim is hosting today and our challenge is Flowers.

As usual you can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to be cards, as long as it meets the challenge. 

Hope you will join in.
And here is my project for the challenge:

Some of you may remember me making this Masterboard using Bleeding Tissue. Details can be found here.

I've used Paper Artsy stamps for this card.

Started by stamping the vase.

And embossed the vase.

Then rubbed over the embossing with a thin layer of black ink to make the texture stand out.

Next, cutting out the Kraft card layer.

Which I attached to a section of the Masterboard.

And then stamped the chosen flowers, first onto the Kraft card layer and then onto a separate piece of the Masterboard.

Fussy cut the stamped flowers and attach them to the stamped stems and then the vase.

I have added a little shadow with a blending tool using black ink to ground the vase.

Finally added a sentiment, Stickles Glitter Glue and gems to complete the design.

I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and maybe join in the challenge.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with too.

 Happy crafty card making.

WOYWW 457 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk. 
I am here again to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!
The box on the left though not exploding is in need of sorting.

 

Not done much with the hare as I've been busy doing other stuff and you can find them here (my little house) and (a card) here.

 

 The card below is for mother's day.

 

 

You may have noticed this little bird stamp which is the new one from Craft Stamper.

Loads of left-over papers and a Woodware stamp which I might use on an Easter card.

 

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

 

I used a brayer and Paper Artsy Fresco paints to cover the card quickly.

Just keep going until you achieve the effect you want.

You can brayer white onto the paint if it looks too bright it's up to you.

 

I use one colour at a time, rotating the card to apply it evenly around the surface and then move to the next colour and do the same again.

I like fresco paints as some of them are transparent so work well over the top of other colours without blanking them out.

Despite still feeling under the weather I did feel a bit more like having a play but as you will see it took me a while to get my head round it this week.

The first stage was easy as I decided to stamp my new Tracy Scott stamp onto the background papers.

 

Then cut them out......

 

and layered the different colours together.

 

 

And added yellow and purple Stickles Glitter Glue.

 

 

Put these on one side while I thought about the background and this is where it got interesting.

 

I had thought about having a black background and embossing the flowers onto it. I have loads of Cosmic Shimmer embossing powders that have been in the drawer for ages and thought they might do the trick so got them out and had a play.

 

 

Now the only problem with embossing powders is that they behave differently on black card so after an interesting hour I realised the colours were not what I wanted though I do think that this card is going to see some use some time in the future as I love the colours.

 

So I mixed together some of the colours that did match with the Masterboards and this is what I ended up with.

 

I felt it needed a border which I created with an embossing pen and the same powder.

 

 

Perfect but what do you think.

 

At this stage I started positioning the masterboard flowers.

The card was completed with a Mother's Day sentiment, ribbon and a collection of sequins.

Plenty of Masterboard left to play with so you will see it again soon I'm sure.

Hope you like it and I would love to hear your comments.

 

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Mother's Day Card.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Just thought you might like to see the card I made for mother's Day.
I have deliberately not shown it to you before as I wanted mum to receive it first. So here it is.

This is unusual for me as I have used printed papers from  Heartfelt Creations, Romantique Garden.

The stamp is by Inkadinkado and called Happy Days and the dragonfly by DoCraft with stickles glue to finish.

Insert.

Hope you liked that.

Happy Crafting,
