Pheasant ......

 Made a card today ......

I used a 6 x 6 inch white card blank as the base ....

I then made a background with a numbers stencil and Distress Oxides and this was edged in yellow Versamagic chalk ink. I then chose stamps from AAll & Create and stamped the pheasant in Versafine black ink onto the background. It was then stamped again and this time heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This was trimmed out.

The background image was coloured with various colours of Posca and Acrylograph pens. Overlaying the trimmed pheasant onto the background on foam pads. The pheasant was then grounded on some torn Washi tape.

I stamped a 'P' stamp in violet Distress Oxide a few times and also stamped the word on white card, heat embossed with clear embossing powder, trimmed out and matting on black card. This was added as shown on foam pads.

The background was then matted on pink, mauve and black matts before applying to the card base ....

Adventure .....

 

Made a Clean & Simple Card ......

I made the card base from white card and cut a piece of watercolour card which was treated with two colours of blue Distress Oxide ink applied with a soft brush. This was then spattered with water and allowed to activate before removing excess water with a piece of kitchen roll. This represented the sky. The panel was edged in blue chalk ink.

I then used a stamp from AAll & Create and stamped this in Archival black ink in the centre of the watercolour base. It was then stamped again on white card with Versafine black ink which was then heat embossed with clear powder. The balloon, basket & binoculars were twimmed out and coloured with Copics. The baloon panels were treated with Glossy Accents and when dry applied on foam pads over the original image. The binoculars added direct to the base.

I then chose some AAll & Create Washi tape and added this to white card, trimming out the words which were added as shown.

The base was matted onto green card to form a border and added to the card base. Three violet/blue sequins were added to finish the card .....

Would love to have a balloon ride ......

Pumpkin .....

 

A card made mainly with AAll & Create stamps & Washi tape .......

I started with a white card blank, I then cut a smaller matt from white card and stamped the pumpkins in Versafine black ink. I then stamped another image on another piece of white card and heat embossed this with clear embossing powder. The embossed pumpkins were trimmed out and coloured with distress Ink washes and a waterbrush.

The larger matt was coloured with Distress Oxide washes made with Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade and Antique Linen after applying to a piece of acetate and adding water before smooshing until happy with the effect. I stamped this with a number of other stamps and Archival ink around the edges. Some Washi tape torn strips were added at the edges.

The coloured pumkins were then added over the original and given a shadow with Inktense pencil and waterbrush. The background was matted on an orange card matt and then a black card matt. Two printed letter circles were added along with some orange seed beads and green glass beads applied on Glossy Accents. The words were stamped again and trimmed out and applied onto the coloured pumpkins edging with black micron pen.

Finally the matts were applied to the card blank to finish .....
