At Random

At Random

Hi There!

Seems an odd title for January's posts

but they are all chosen at random so

what else could I call it? ..........Haha!

The reason for "At Random" is that with

the JANUARY SALE going strong it

is the ideas for the projects that count

rather than individual projects, after all

a stamp is a stamp is a ...........

Or is it?  You decide!

Craftyfield is going to start us off

with a simple card:

"After all that Christmas crafting and 

lots of relaxing over the Holidays, 

a CAS card is great to 

kickstart my mojo again...

 I selected the Quirky bird to make 

a Get well card. 

I stamped the image with yellow

 Versafine Clair for a no line-colouring 

technique and used watercolour

 pencils and a brush to colour it.

Next, I stamped rain drops all over my bird,

 using the Craft Emotions stamp set

 with a blue Distress ink. 

If your ink, like mine is a bit dark, use

 second or even third generation 

stamping by stamping off on a 

scrap piece of paper.

 With a wet brush I pull the Distress ink

 off the stamped image.

 Then, I give the bird a bit of ground

 to stand on, using watercolour 

pencils and splatters.

Finally I used the printer for the sentiment.

I hope I have encouraged you 

to have a go, this is a very easy

 card to make!"

Thank you Craftyfield for

starting us off with a simple

card.  I'm sure it would bring

a smile to any patient's face!

For all specific products and colours 

have been mentioned here, do 

remember that any product can be

used to achieve a similar result!

Take a look at the SALE to see what

you can find to make a cheery

Get Well Soon card

'Till tomorrow
