Easy Tutorial, Summer Card

Good morning, it's Sue here to share a card that I made for our Salty Summer Sale.



I started by making a background with Distress Inks and a stencil. Nothing says Summer holidays like these colours.

Then I stamped away with the Retro Beach set in brown Archival ink.

To finish I added the bathing beauty from Take The Plunge, together with the signpost that I'd stamped onto lolly sticks.

 Don't forget all of the 'beachy' stamps have 20% off until 30th of July, and can be found here.

 Have a very happy week. Sue xx

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
