CAS-ual Friday - A simple fishy card by Donna Gray.

Hi everyone,

It's Donna here today with a very simple card for you featuring one of my favourite fishy stamp sets at the moment :)



Isn't he just a cutie with his toothy grin?!

I stamped the fish from Fish Diet onto a piece of water colour paper and then used blue and green Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers to colour him in, using a water brush to dilute the colours.

Then using the ticket stamp from the Stitch and Frame stamp set I stamped it onto more watercolour paper and used a couple of Distress Inks to age it slightly. Both the images were fussy cut out which for the fish took a little while!

All that was left to do was add a Tim Holtz sticker sentiment and adhere the fish and ticket to the Kraft card using foam pads.

A simple card but when the image is this cute I wanted him as the star!


Stamps Used:

Stitch and Frame

Fish Diet

Hope you like it
Donna xx

The stamped fish is indeed a star, Donna! Is that what one call a starfish? ;-)

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 ...
