Tutorial Tuesday - Watercolour Card by Debs

Hi everyone, Debs here with a pretty little card. 




First I stamped the corners using stamps from Flower Power and then added my feature from Cone Flowers




 I restamped the feature onto tissue paper and cut it out. I placed this over the original stamping to mask it and added the leaves from Crazy Flowers #2.



When you remove the mask you have your leaves in the background. I added some line work where it was missing and heat set it all.





I used watercolours in the background, by gently wetting the page and adding the colours in layers to build up the depth.
I then dried it before working on the flowers in the same way. 

Lastly I added the sentiment from Bling Bling.

Here are some close-ups:









The stamps I used are shown below



Take care 
Hugs xxx

Lovely card, Debs! Very nice effect with the masking, to get the leaves behind the cone flowers! I also think it's a very good combo of stamps from different sets - I would never have thought of using those leaves with the flowers, but they look really good together!! Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial! ♥ ♥ ♥

These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them!

These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride!

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...
