Sketchy Bird meets Antique Butterflies by Ellie Knol

Image
An easy card today from me .. I used leftovers from a sticker sheet that was monoprinted on (see this post ) from my stash and cut 3x3 centimeter squares from it to form a square on a blank square card.  I stamped with orange and black background stamps onto the card to tie it all together as shown. A fussycut bird, butterflies and a sentiment finish it off.  See you next time!

Vintage Antique Botanical Card by Ellie Knol

Image
Ellie here today...  sharing a vintagy card on book paper...   The flower looks as if it has been made for this ..  Adding a white watered down white gesso tones down the script on the bookpaper, and also lightens it a bit. The gesso also forms a barrier so the paper will not soke up all the color when adding color to the images. I colored the flowers with Ecoline, a fluid watercolor and added a few more touches with a water-based ink marker.   The edges were sponged inward towards the image with a light blue distress ink.. where there is no gesso on the edges it will take up more color as to where there is gesso.  To make the flower pop even more I added more white acrylic (also watered down to blend into the background better) around the image.  The rest of the card speaks for itself I assume.  Have a good day!

SKETCHY FLOWERS CARD by Josi Tomas

Hi Rubber Dance friends!! Josi Tomàs is writing to show you a new tutorial step by step for how to make this beautiful and easy card with the lovely sketchy flower. ______________________________________________ STEP BY STEP 1. First apply acrylic paint with the help of a roller and in two colors over white cardboard or watercolor paper. I chose electric blue and lilac (also you can use white) and my card measures 4 1/2 by 5 inches. 2. I made embossing using shimmering translucent powders and my Distress Oxide ink. Did you know this? Distress ink and Oxide ink they are slow drying inks and used with translucent powders allow you to emboss in many colors. I have also used white powders to combine it. 3. To finish the background I chose the harlequin stamp which I stamped with Distress Oxide in violet and machines sewn the edges.   4. The decoration is very easy to make it. I did different stamps and then I cut them out: a. Sketchy flower on a soft lilac card stock. b. T...
