Brushes and Colors


Hi Susan from the design team, now it's soon spring with lovely colors which are our challenge this month. I have used the stamp set Artist Plate.



I have used Dylusions ink spray squeered orange and fresh lime, sprayed on white vigorously, smooth paper.
The colors were allowed to run where they wanted, and to achieve splatter I blew in a straw on the drops.
As the colors were dry, I tore the colored paper into strips. I stamped with Archival ink carnation red on orange paper and then gave the paintbrushes a little white color.
All my edges are distressed with spiced marmalade, twisted lemon and ground espresso. A little tie to the small tag and for the clover, I have used a heart punch.
The circles are printed with a paper towel tube. The whole thing was glued to a sheet of white cardboard.
I hope you have been inspired to participate in our challenge!

Thanks for visiting and I wish you a good day.
Hugs, Susan

Thank you, Susan! I love how you have used our bright challenge colours this month and even added a shamrock to go with our optional theme! The brush stamps look so cool in these colours, and the white highlights really makes them pop.

Here's someone not afraid of bright colours! Very brave with the sprays and splats too... It works, it's cheerful but arty.

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
