#YellowInApril - HB Flower Stencil - WSD Quill

 Hello crafty friends, 

I have a process video for this card uploading to You Tube  as I write up this post.   

I'm really happy with how this card turned out. I'll have to check and see if I have any other Honey Bee stencils and compare them to this one, because this one was a little thicker than other stencils, but I was super easy to work with.  

I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks for my yellow background stencil flowers.  A wonky stitched rectangle A2 die to die cut it and a wonky stitched square die to die cut the striped pattern  paper.  The "just a note" everyday sentiment, which is by Whipper Snapper Designs was stamped onto a partially die cut Pinked Stitched Sentiment Banner by IO.  The striped Pattern paper one under it is  the real size of that banner die. 

The super cute porcupine is Quill by WSD.  I stamp him or her on white 110lb card stock from Paper Studio and colored using my Tri-blend markers. Die cut with a stitched dome die and mounted onto the striped paper.

 

Thanks for stopping bye.  Until next time, take care.

#YellowInApril - Playing with glitter liquid inks

Hello crafty friends, 
I have a process video for this card uploading to You Tube

 as I write up this post.   

On the video, I'm playing with some really saturated glitter liquid inks.  The ones in the bottles are by Brea Reese and the ones in the jars are by Spectrum Noir.  I have to spend more time playing with these inks to learn how to adjust their saturation while maintaining their glittery.  My initial attempts at blending colors wasn't as successful as I would have liked, but that's why practicing will be a good and fun thing.  

The stamp I used was the "Calla Lilies in Square" by Northwood Rubber Stamps.  The dies  were the Stitched Grassy Hill Edgers by Frantic Stamper and one of the Altenew layered Plaid cover dies as my trellis. 

Thanks for stopping bye.  Until next time, take care.
