On to the cards now! First is a fun card with The Bird Ernest Stamp. I love this little guy, he is so friendly looking. I used my black StazOn Ink to stamp him then I got out my Twinkling H20's and gave him a water colour look.

 

 

 

 

I used a fine brush for his beak and little feet, and used the Sunflower colour to make them a lovely sparkly yellow tone.

 

 

For his body, I did a mixture of two colours. Don't be afraid to mix colours when working with water colours, they will blend nicely with the water, just have fun and play! I used the Guatamalan and Lime tones for this body and the Wisteria for his chest.

 

Once little Ernest was dry, I cut him out of the cardstock and set him aside to dry. Now it was time to get my back ground done. I chose some lighter tones of inks to stamp the background, using the Tropical Re-Leaf stamp from Joggles. I really love this stamp, its very airy and ethereal looking.

 

I used various soft colours, in pink, pale blue, and yellow, and matched the background cardstock to the yellow ink.

 

I also cut a band in the yellow, and used the Message in a Bubble Believe stamp on top of it. Next, it was time to get Earnest out and add some dimensional tape to the back of him so he stands out on the card.

 

For some final touches I added some gems from my stash....

 

 

.....and some fun ribbon, twine bow and flowers to finish the card off.

 

Here is the finished card. I love how it turned out!

 

I also created a second card using lots of Joggles stamps. I started this one off by using some Distress Inks in Abandoned Coral and Spiced Marmalade.  I cut out a circle for the moon, and added some glue dots to stick it down temporarily. I used the inks all over the card until I was happy with the colour, then used my stamps to create a scene on top.

 

 

I used some Crushed Pineapple stickles for some glitter, and coloured the moon yellow with my alcohol markers. For a final touch, I added some white dots to the house, flowers and leaves and a bit of twine and a metal key.

 

Its so fun to play around with Joggles Stamps, let your imagination be your guide!

Vintage Heritage Layout for Gina's Designs And The Robin's Nest

 

Hello Friends! Today I have a fun share for all of you featuring papers and embellishments from The Robin's Nest.  All month long the team at Gina's Designs Lasercuts is cross promoting with the team at The Robin's Nest, and we have been having a blast playing with the amazing products from them.

 

 

I started of this layout with my inspiration being this lovely lady in one of my vintage photos from my collection.  She always looked "grumpy" to me, so I dubbed her "the grumpy lady".  I always wonder who these folks are, where they were from and how their photos end up in yard sales and in thrift stores.  I created some background texture on the "Fleur Honeycomb" paper with my texture paste and some Twinkling H2o's to pick up on the colour tones in the paper. I also added some of the Time Flies Rub ons from The Robins Nest to the background, I really love these, they fit in so well with the theme  of the layout.

 

Once the background was complete, I started to layer on more of the papers from The Robin's Nest, some burlap and more chipboard from Gina's.  I used this lovely chipboard frame from Gina's Designs. I took some of the Robin's Nest Dew Drops and placed them on the corner of the frame and then added a few to the ruler at the base of the photo to add some sparkle and shine!

 

My finishing touches were some lace from my stash and some gorgeous Petaloo flowers.  I hope my "Grumpy Lady" is happy in her new home, and maybe somewhere out there, she is smiling.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Summer Fun ATC's for Gina's Designs Lasercuts

Hi friends, today I have some fun summer ATC's to share with you.  Gina custom cut me some ATC blanks, and I was totally inspired by summer when I created these.

I love the fun and colour palette of the summer! I wanted to share a little tutorial with you for this first ATC I will show you below here. I created a fun background for this ATC using the Cardstock Doily Intricates.

I started off with one of the chipboard blanks and a watercolour blank. I got out some of Gina's Cardstock doilies next, and decided to use the doilies as a stencil this time. I used some of my favorite sprays in blues and teals and white. I love these doilies, they are so versatile!

 I started off with a darker colour first then layered on some of the lighter ones, moving the doily and changing up which one I used (cuz you get lots of different ones in the package!). 

 Lastly, I used some white distress spray as the last spray to add more contrast. These doilies are so useful for stencilling and now that I have them coloured from the sprays they are ready to use on another project later

Here is my finished background. 

After the background was done I used my dragonfly stamp from Prima and embossed it with white embossing powder and used some blue ink to stamp the body of the dragonfly. I then used some Silks Acrylic Glazes on the chipboard dragonfly and added my sentiment to complete the ATC.

For the next ATC, I used the  String Along Shape Set Shells for this piece and cut it apart to make the bubbles.  I used some sticky back canvas for the background piece and played with my watercolours to make some bubbles in the background.

Once I was happy with the watercolour, I added some highlights with my white sharpie pen. For the corners of the ATC, I used some nail art, crushed shells to add texture.

For the next ATC I used the Beach Shape Set. I used my Twinkling H20's to give a "beachy" type background.

 One of my favorite things to do, is to walk along the beach collecting shells and stones for my collection, so that was my inspiration for this ATC.

I embossed the chipboard with some gold embossing powder then when that was heated up I sprinkled some Aged Ivory embossing powder from Stampendous on them. I love the texture and dimension that playing around with embossing powder gives to the chipboard pieces.

Lastly, I used some glitter and mica flakes which I adhered down with some clear glue and a little jute bow to top off the sand dollar.

I hope you have enjoyed my post today, check out all these great items in Gina's Store.

Mixed Media Canvas for RebeccaBaer.com

Hello friends and happy Tuesday! Today I would like to share my mixed media canvas I created with some gorgeous Rebecca Baer Stencils.

I was in the mood for some soft pastel colours and with this canvas just kind of went with the flow and feeling of the stencils.  I started off with the Large Flight of Fancy Stencil and some of my sprays.



 Once the first layer of sprays were dry I got out some Tim Holtz tissue paper and used the Stencil Gel that Rebecca Has to put it down.  I love this stuff it works great and dries quick too!  Next I layered on the Marrakech Stencil with some more of my sprays is a light blue tone, I continued to build up the layers on the canvas until I was happy with it.

 Next it was time for some modelling paste, and I used the Heritage Flora stencil and the Flexi Spreader from Rebecca's Store.  Once that was complete I got out some chipboard for embellishments, painted them and then I wanted some texture on them, so I thought that the delicate patterns from the Graceful Harmony Stencil would work great onto of the chippys!

 You can see below how it turned out, I really love the effect and it shows just how tiny and delicate these stencils are to go on something as small as this frame and flourish. The stencil showed up great on top of the white paint and really added the dimension I was looking for.

 I used some watercolour paint in a matching colours to pick up on the dimension.

Here is a close up of the finished piece of chipboard, I love the effect!

 As I had the Graceful Harmony Stencil out I used another pattern on it for the side and one corner of the canvas. I love the delicate effect it has.

 After I was finished with the stencilling it was time to add my embellishments.  I used more chipboard wings, resin frame, metals and flowers to complete the look I was going for.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today. Rebecca has such great products in her shop, I am sure you will find something that will meet your artistic needs!
