Sketchy Bird Among the Flowers by Dot Leathbridge

 Hi everyone,
It's Dot here today with a card to share with you.
This one uses Sketchy Birds, Mixed Media Marks 1, Sketchy Leaves and Inky Flowers.


The new Sketchy Leaves set has been catching my eye for some time.
I really love all the new leaves in this set.
It was ideal to pop behind the Inky Flowers stamps.

My biggest conundrum was what words to use!
Then I saw these scribble words from 
Mixed Media Marks #1.
The say something, but because they are scribbly words
they are near impossible to read lol.
Love it!

Here is a closer look at the bird.



Each month I have a craft-along session in a  facebook group
where I craft in real time, and you can join in with me.
If you would like to join me for this card it is
happening on the 2nd of June at 10 am (AEST - Melbourne time)
The group is called Creative Cardmaking.
If you can't make it on the day, the video stays up
for 30 days so there is plenty of time for you to gather
your supplies and stamps and join in with me.

A reminder that, if you are in Australia,
you'll find a huge range of Rubber Dance stamps at
Ink Art Designs.
Including the new larger clear sets of stamps.

The stamps used on this card are:


Sketchy Birds



Sketchy Leaves



Mixed Media Marks #1



Inky Flowers


You can also find many ideas of how to use Rubber Dance stamps
over on YouTube here.
Susanne puts up ideas for you on a regular basis.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card today.

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...
