Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I haven't played with Stencils and Spray Inks for a while...time for a change from cards...

I started with Card Front Stencil Pack 2 + Ranger Opaque Matte Texture Paste. Then, I sprayed 3 different colors + water to spread the colors around the art journal page. I stamped the lady (Finnabair - Dare to Dream/Prima) on cardstock and fussy cut her out, colored with markers and paint and adhered on page. I brushed diluted dye ink on some stenciled flowers and drew a "skirt". Then, I stamped texture (CTMH Perfectly Imperfect Patterns Stamp Set) + sentiment on with ink pads.

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

There's a cool technique challenge over at CAS Mix Up - Faux Cloisonne'...

Heat Embossing is one of my favorite techniques! So, I stamped the images using VersaMark ink pad and heat embossed them in gold. After fussy cutting, I stamped texture on the leaves using green ink and brushed Peach Shimmer Brush on all images. I stamped a sentiment on panel and then, arranged the flower on. 

Challenges:

1. CAS Mix Up Feb: Faux Cloisonne'

2. Perfectly CAS #23: Flowers

3. The Flower Challenge #65: Occasions

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I tried a new Fun Fold Card - Pinwheel Tower Cards - and here are my first ones...

Card #1

This was my first try and I messed it up, since the panels were not straight enough. So I trimmed it down to 3.75" x 5.5" and figured I could still use it with embellishments sticking up on top, but still able to fit in a A2 envelope!

So I used scrap papers and a new die cut I bought recently...and voila'!

This is what it looks like from the top:

Card #2

I'll show the other 3 sides of both cards in another post + a video tutorial on how I made mine later...

And here are a couple of cards using die cuts from my scrap box...

Card #3

Frames were cut with a machine. I had the flower cut out also, so I just lined up the images and adhered the flower cut out on card with foam tape. Then, I added a stamped sentiment + shimmer brushed the flower cut out in Peach.

Card #4

I layered some die cut leaves, shimmer brushed the green leaves in Peach and adhered on card with foam tape. Some other die cut leaves were glued flat or adhered on card with foam tape. On the inside, I stamped "our friendship stays the same".
