OK, over to the challenge - let's see what the team have created for you today! More great projects from the team this month!
RACHAEL - I've been working with the gorgeous new Botanical Bliss collection and this card was very simple to make but I think very effective, I love using inks and vellum together. The stamp from the collection is called Daisy Dragonfly and also has co-ordinating outline dies and layering stencils too!
Irre - Hello everyone. Today I want to share a new canvas with you. I created this for Polkadoodles and used a digital stamp for that. The one I used is from the Darling buds collection, and this one is names Primrose flower girl. I colored the stamp with Copics and cut out the stamp. I laid the stamp aside while I was working with the canvas. For the canvas, I added modeling paste through a stencil and then painted the canvas with gesso. Then, I started to decorate one of the corners. I decorated it with many different elements. After that, I painted all the decorations with white gesso. Next, colored the canvas with watercolors. Now, it was time to add the stamp to the canvas. I then, dry painted the decorations with white gesso to enhance the textures. I also added some splatters. Finally, I decorated it with some rhinestones. My Instagram: @scrapbyirre
Julie Barnes - Here is a card I have made using one stamp set called Great Day Florals PD7148. Such a lovely set and so versatile. The aim was not to use any pinks - that is hard! I started by ink blending a 6 x 6 card base and stamped several of the flowers and elements onto the card and shaded some. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the larger flower head and toadstool and added to the front of the card to give it some depth. I then used papers fromVintage Candy paper pack PD8004 for the inside of the card, decorated the insert and envelope to math. I used my Faber Castell pencils for this make using the following colours:
- Cobalt Turquoise
- Light Cobalt Turquoise
- Emerald Green
- Light Green
- Light Cadmium Yellow
- Light Yellow
- Orange Glaze
- Cadmium Orange
Jane – Isn’t this image stunning?! She is called MERMAID PRINCESS SITTING ON A ROCK and she comes from the CORAL MERMAID COLLECTION. I coloured her with Copics and added a bubbly background using the HEAVENLY CIRCLES stencil.
Maz - For today's 'Flowers' theme, and not to use pink, I created a collection of floral projects using the NEW Botanical Bliss Collection using green and purple. For my large gate-fold card with belly-band and the tag, I used Radiant Roses. The stepper card was created using Hydrangea Ribbon All coloured using Distress Oxides and Zig Clean Color pens. More details can be found on my blog
Wendy - Hello everyone Happy Digi Choosday! Have you been taking part in the MerMay events across social media - there's just a few more days to go so still time to join in - why not have a look at the Coral Mermaid Collection. For my project today I've created a 5" x 7" picture using one of the papers from the collection and the gorgeous Coral Mermaid on Rocks, coloured with Promarkers. I've added lots of lovely sparkle to her tail which I wish you could see as its magical. Have a fabulous day. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x
