As I have said ad infinitum my favourite flowers are tulips. I love them. This bunch of tulips makes me so happy. I’ve made it into a mother’s day card as mother’s day is on 27th March here in the UK. The Flowering of Tulips stamp set is a two-step stamp set. I used the stamparatus to stamp it and made the stamping so easy.

measurements

  • Real Red Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm. I cut this pannel down when I’ve made the card.

Welcome to Focus Friday. For the month of March, we are focusing on stencils. Today we are looking at layering stencils. Layering stencils allow you to build up detail, depth and texture to an image. I’ve used the butterfly image here from the Butterflies & Flowers stencil pack. You can use more than two colours if you wish but I would advise you to start with two and build it up from there.

Look at these adorable ladybirds. I found out that in North America they say Ladbug but we in the UK of course say Ladybird. It really is amazing how many differences they are between proper English and American English.

The Hello Ladybug stamp set comes with a matching punch which I haven’t used here. This is just the same stamp repeat stamped. It is a two step stamping set and really easy to line by hand. I didn’t use the stamparatus and these ladybirds came out great.

Welcome to the last Focus Friday blog of February. This week we are looking at using watercolour pencils with water painters to colour. As you remember this month our focus has been on colouring. We have looked at colouring with alcohol markers, watercolour pencils and blender pens and watercolouring with ink pads.

Watercolouring is a very forgiving medium. I’ve used the shimmery white paper here to withstand all the water. The pencils give you a lot of control and you can add as much or as little water as you choose.

How to White Heat Emboss on Black Card

How to White Heat Emboss on Black Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is a really simple card but so effective. I always love the magic of heat embossing. The dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful. The only real way to get the sentiment to show bright white on dark cardstock is to white heat emboss it.

I’ve matted the black on a lovely piece of patterned paper from the Sunshine & Rainbows stack. I love the bright and saturated colours.

  • Basic Black Cardstock – A6 Cardbase- This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm X 2 pieces

This month, the Focus Friday videos have been concentrating on colouring. Today we are looking a colouring with ink pads and water painters. You can also use a reinker. I tend to add a dot of reinker to the lid of the ink pads. I pick this colour up with my water painter. Don’t touch your brush to the actual ink pad though.

Am important consideration when watercolouring is what paper to use. I use either shimmer white cardstock or our Fluid 100 watercolour paper. If you use Basic White you will find the paper will pill. You need a paper that will stand up to the amount of water you will be using. Watercolour paper will have a texture to it so it is useful to use the Stamparatus get to a crisp clean image. I used Stazon ink to stamp as it’s permanent.

This is a card we made in January Card Club. Card Club is online in my Facebook Group. If you like this project why don’t you consider joining the Club? You can find all the details here.

I love daffodils. They are so happy and yellow. I look forward to seeing them every year. This card is totally made from die-cuts. You can sponge the flowers for added interest as well. If you shape the flowers as you stick them together you will get a 3D effect.

Welcome to another post in my Focus Friday series. Each month I chose a new set of techniques or products to focus on. For the month of February, we are going to be focusing on Colouring. Today’s post is all about colouring with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

I love this method of colouring as it’s quick and easy. The results are great and there are no lines from colouring to worry about. Stampin’ Blend markers come in a light and dark of each colour making shading and blending so easy. I tend to put down my light colour first and then add accents with a darker one. You do the reverse, of course, it’s what works best for you. As with all colouring take your time, build up the layers and practice makes perfect.

Welcome to another Focus Friday Project. Every month I chose a certain product or group of tecninques and each Friday for that month we focus on one specific technique. This month it has been embossing folders. Today we are looking at embossing onto an inked background.

I used a blending brush to ink the background first with Petal Pink and then Magenta Madness. I tried to get a varied mix of colours. The background was then embossed with the new Hive 3D embossing folder. The ink blending really highlights all the gorgeous texture from the embossing folder.
