You make my life magical, Dad!

 Welcome back to my blog!  Today I am featuring a card I made using the Magical Dragons stamp set by MFT and Tiny Textures by Gina K Designs.  I was inspired to make this card as it was Fathers Day yesterday and my young teenager who has ASD asked me to make a card for his Dad. His Dad loves mythical dragons and as his favourite colour is red I decided to colour them red with my Copic Markers.  

I began by stamping out the images from the stamp set using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink onto Copic friendly card stock and coloured them with copic markers and die cut with their co-ordinating dies.

For the background I used the tiny textures stamp and using Red Velvet Ink stamped recreating a splattered type background, to break up the red I used Soft Stone Ink smooshed onto my craft mat and added some splatters with a paintbrush. I popped this aside to dry. Whilst this was drying I die cut the word "DAD" using some alphabet dies from patterned paper and to add dimension die cut extra out onto some white card stock these were adhered together using connect glue.

To finish off the card using an A2 card base in Cherry Red I adhered the background panel, stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturn Black ink, and added some sequins.  Hope you like the card, please feel free to comment, comments are always appreciated.  Hoping you have a great day!

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I am featuring a card that I have created using a technique that was shown on a You Tube Video by Cathy Zielske of CZ Designs.  I have quite a few stencils by Gina K Designs and using this week's challenge colours created this card.  I also wanted to have a go at this technique and I feel it turned out pretty well.

For the background I started with a piece of white card stock and placed a piece of masking tape measuring approximately 1 inch vertically across the centre of the card.  Using a stencil from Gina K Designs I blended on various coloured inks from Gina K using the colours from the challenge as a guide.

I die cut this panel using some dies and also die cut a panel in black onyx card stock adhered these together with glue and mounted them onto Coral Reef A2 Card base. To finish I added some dew drops to add some detail to the card.

I will be entering this card into the gkdfbchallenge8 over at Gina K Designs and StampTV Friends Facebook Group.  Thanks for taking a look, hope you have a great weekend.

Hi and welcome back to my blog!  I am back today with a card that I have created using stamps and the co-ordinating dies from Hello Bluebird!  I have had these stamp sets for quite a while now and I fancied practising my Copic colouring on this 6 x 6 background stamp, I was slightly intimidated by the size but I was inspired to take the plunge after watching one of Christy's videos, she is an awesome lady and I have learnt so much from her on how to colour with Copic markers.  I am still very much a beginner but as they say practice makes perfect and this Mushroom House by Hello Bluebird definitely helps you to achieve this.

For the background, I stamped the Mushroom House image onto Copic friendly card stock using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink. I also combined images from several other Hello Bluebird stamp and coloured with Copic markers and trimmed with their co-ordinating dies.

The background was trimmed out using the Modern Embossed Rectangle Stack by Trinity Stamps and adhered to Gina K - Onyx Black A2 Card Base.  I then added my images using some foam squares and Gina K - Connect Glue. 

I finished the card off with a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiments banner and added a bit of glitter to some of the images with a glitter pen.  Thank you for stopping by today and hope you like the card!

Owl Always Be There For You!

 Hi and welcome back! It is finally the weekend yay! Today I am featuring a card I have created using an older stamp set by Gina K and which I will also be entering into the Gina K Designs & StampTV's Friends facebook colour challenge #gkdfbchallenge6.

The colours chosen have been inspired by this week's colour template which is:

To begin, I stamped out the images from the stamp set using my Misti using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, the images were coloured with Copic Markers on Copic friendly cardstock, and then die cut with the co-ordinating dies.

For the background, using a circle die I cut some coloured pieces of card stock and adhered these onto a white card stock panel which was then matted onto a piece of black card stock.

Using an A2 Card Base I adhered the background panel using a tape runner and to finish off the cute owls were popped up with foam squares to add some dimension to the card and added some sequins to fill in the white space.  Hope you like my card, have a great day and stay safe.
