In the Pink

 

This card was made using a Gelli Plate background made with Adirondak dye inks and a brayer.  The stamping has been done with Versafine ink directly onto the plate after brayering.  Most of the stamps used were outline stamps.

 

The colouring was done with more Adirondak inks applied with a waterbrush to fill in the petals to the desired colour depth.

 

I have then applied iridescent glitter over dots of dried clear glue to highlight the images.

The card was trimmed and edged with barn door Distress Ink applied with cut'n'dry foam and matted onto a piece of moss green coloured card.

Clowns ATC

I made this ATC using a stamp from Zettiology and it fits in rather well with the theme for this weeks TMTA theme which is 'Groups'.

I cut a piece of thin white card to size and stamped with Stazon black, I actually used most of the stamp but didn't ink the legs of the child clowns.  I then used a Memories primary rainbow pad and a brayer to colour the whole card.  I then used bleach and a fine brush to go over the faces which turned a delightful shade of turquoise !  The same bleach was used on the rim of a small bottle to produce the bleached out circles.  The bleach was dried with a heat gun.  The stars on the hats were coloured with Viva gold paint and the buttons and bobs glossed with Glossy Accents. Finally some vellum letters were added, the card mounted on chipboard and the edges coloured with purple hydrangea Versamagic chalk ink to finish.

Postcard from Australia !

Here is my entry for this weeks Sunday Challenge over on the UK Stampers forum. This weeks theme was 'Australia'

For the postcard I used:

• Ink-jet image of Australia
• Cheap hairspray
• Moonglow Glitz Spritz (Shimmering Silver)
• White card
• Adirondack Dye Ink pad (Eggplant)
• Brayer
• Stazon Ink Pad (Royal Purple)
• Rubber Stamps (Foliage Cube Fern, Invoke Arts Alphas, See D's Alphas)
• Versamark Ink Pad
• Embossing powder (Peach, White)
• Skeleton leaves
• Satin ribbon (Maroon)
• Glossy Accents
• Micro Glue Dots
• Glue Stick

I must say I didn't have one directly related stamp so I used an ink jet printed image of Australia which I cut out and set with cheap hairspray then sprayed with the Glitz Spritz.

The card was cut to 15 x 10 cm and brayered with Adirondack eggplant then overstamped with the royal purple Stazon and the foliage cube stamp.

The Invoke words were stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white EP. The word OZ was stamped similarly with the See D's Alphas and heat embossed with peach EP.

The ribbon was applied with glue dots as shown and three skeleton leaves tucked under the ribbon and stuck with small amounts of glossy accents as shown. Finally the map of Australia was applied with a glue stick.

Hope you like it :-)

'Quotes & Name' ATC's

Here are another three ATC's just completed for a swap with a lovely lady in Australia. Her name is Evelyne so we have done a card with our name on and another two in the theme of quotes.

Both of the quotes cards have brayered backgrounds in denim Adirondak ink. One has hand coloured leaves (Derwent Inktense watercolour ink pencils) which are overlaid on the background and a printed quote. The other has a stamp of dancers (Stamp-It, Tiptoe 2847E) in Brilliance rocket red gold and a border stamp top and bottom in Black Stazon and a printed quote applied. Both ATC's are edged in Gold Krylon.

The name ATC has background paper and printed overlaid letters from K & Co to spell out 'Evelyne'. A piece of lime satin ribbon has been applied and a small bow to finish. ATC was edged in black Stazon.

They are now on their way to Australia. Hope you like them :)
