Hallo Everyone!

Today we have another card

project from Hazel Harler so

sit back and prepare to be

totally inspired

For my card I used a Honey Doo Crafts stamp and a Carabelle Studio mask

On a piece of white card sponge distress ink through the mask. 

I used picked raspberry and scattered straw.

Stamp the image onto the stencilled card and onto white card

Colour the images, I used my Inktense pencils to do this

Cut out the pieces on the white card to 3D the image

Use silicone glue to glue the petals and leaves

 I matted the topper to some black card 

and then glued it to a card blank that I'd made out of a piece pink card. 

I added a heart charm, some dew drops and stamped the sentiment..

 A close up of the flower.

Hallo Everyone!

Finished all those lovely Christmas

goodies?  The chocs, the cakes,

the biscuits?.................

Wardrobe Gremlins shrunk

your clothes?

...........Time for the New Year Diet

then................Good Luck

Here is Louise Thomson with a

beautiful card to take your mind

off the D word! ......

I started by blending spun sugar distress ink 

all over some smooth finish white card and then added

 highlights using the candied apple ink.

I stamped the Honeydoo Floral Corner Flourish three times 

to create a cascade effect across the page.

In the background I stamped parts of the stamp again

in spun sugar to create a light textured look. 

I then painted the flowers using Fresco Finish paints

 in Pixie dust and Nougat.

I stamped the image again, then painted 

and cut out the flowers. 

Using the Nougat Fresco Finish paint I added little hearts 

around the border, then joined them up using 

a white gelly roll pen.

I inked up a spare bit of smooth finish card 

using the same inks as before. 

Using the gelly roll pen I added a message and doodled border.

Finally I assembled everything and added 

wink of stella to the flowers for a bit of shimmer.

Products used;

Distress inks – Spun sugar and candied apple

Honeydoo floral corner flourish stamp

Fresco paints – Pixie dust and Nougat

White smooth finish card

Double sided tape

Wink of Stella

Sakura gelly roll pen

Beautiful card Louise and you have

managed to show us the shimmer you

get from the Wink of Stella ...... lovely!

Hi There!

It is Burns Night, hope you

have got your kilt aired,

bagpipes ready and the Haggis

standing by -

Here's the first line of Robbie Burns

address to get you started............. 

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, 

Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!

Aboon them a' ye tak your place,

Painch, tripe, or thairm:

Weel are ye worthy o' a grace

As lang's my arm.

On the other hand, here at The Craft Barn

we have a new theme for the week and

to start us off, here is Craftyfield:

"Nothing like being prepared, so I thought I would make

 a love themed card either for Valentine's day or just in case...

 The Honeydoo flower stamps call for a CAS style, 

so that is what I made. 

I used coloured inks rather than black and, in the end, 

the stamped image looked more than enough 

so I didn't feel the need to add any colouring 

with pencils or markers.

When I placed each stamp on my block I slightly changed

 the angle of the stem in relation to the flower head 

to create that stylised heart between the 2 flower stems. 

This is something you can do with clear stamps.

I inked the sentiment with pink, violet and blue inks 

by just touching the edge of the pad on each area 

of the sentiment for an ombre look.

I matted my image on pink cardstock and 

layered it onto a white 6x6 card base. 

3 little hearts from my scrap box 

(waste from a die-cut If I remember correctly) 

add the final touch.

I love how the flower design has the shadowed areas 

already built in: it's easy to add colour if you want 

but lovely just on its own too."

Supplies:
Honey Doo Crafts Clear Stamps: Lilies
Kaisercraft Love This :
Memento inks: (Black, Rose Bud, Bamboo Leaves) 

Thank you Craftyfield for a gorgeous CAS card 

to start us off

'Till tomorrow
