Whispering Wings for Lexi Design Team Project

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I have a slimline card to share with you today as part of my Design Team Project for Lexi Design.  Oh, did I mention, it has a double surprise inside too.

I adore the gorgeous Wispering Wings Background Papers along with the Whispering Wings Illustrations.  They are full of delicate details & watercolour images.  They evoke gentle, airy motion with butterflies, flowers, dragonflies & moths.

I am loving the purples & greens throughout this project considering I am not a fan of either of those colours.

Check out the double surprise that awaits you when open.  It showcases all the beautiful insects perfectly.

G’Day Friends,

We’re back with another colouring with Pencils project to share with you today.

Throughout the month of May, we’re sharing ideas on using your Colour Pencils or Watercolour Pencils with you.

I am by no means an expert at colouring but I do like to try colouring on different mediums, eg Kraft Cardstock.  The final result is so worth it.

How my card was created –

  • Randomly stamp images direct onto Kraft Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
  • Colour & blend with Colour Pencils until happy with the result.  Repeat if necessary
  • Add “veins” to petals with Black Marker – gives more depth & to add “veins” to petals
  • Randomly adhere die cut images to card with Dimensional Tape
  • Randomly spatter White Posca Pen to Cardstock.  Allow to dry
  • adhere to Charcoal Black Smooth Cardstock prior to adhering to White Smooth Base Card
  • Stamp sentiment direct onto White Smooth Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
  • Fussy cut around sentiment
  • Adhere to Charcoal Black Smooth Cardstock prior to cutting around shape leaving a small amount of Black showing around sentiment
  • Adhere to card front with Dimensional Tape
  • Optinal – Apply Clear Wink of Stella to petals

Supplies –

May Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for the Stamp ‘n Hop May Blog Hop.  This month is all about Fantastic Fun Folds which will be a lot of fun.  Be sure to follow along by clicking on the links below.

Now, I’m not sure if this fold has a name & if so, I couldn’t tell you the name.  I saw something on Pinterest a few weeks ago & now for the life of me, can’t find it again.  If you know, could you please let me know.

It is fairly easy to create, although it is a little bulky when closed.  I think if I did it again, I would certainly take a little of the bulk from inside.

Supplies

  • Hidden Creek Collection – Arden Creative Studio
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • All Occasions Sentiments – Paper Rose Studio
  • Mistsy Moonlight Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, Have a craft day – Vicky

Picket Fence Studios for The Paper Funday Challenge

Published on by Vicky Wright4 Comments

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for our May challenge over at The Paper Funday Challenges.  This month we are sponsored by Altenew & Picket Fence Studios.  The twist being – Celebrate Something New.

I only have a couple of stamp sets by Picket Fence Studios including the Seashells waiting to be Found which is what I went with to create my card.

Now, I will be honest & say my card is totally different to what I started out to create.  It sort of took a steep turn once the sponging had been done.  But hey, that is what crafting is all about, right?

The Shells have been coloured with Copics while the sentiment was stamped in Navy & die cut with the matching die from the Bundle.

Don’t forget to pop over to The Paper Funday Challenge Blog to check out what the rest of the Design Team have created along with the entries.  Better still, why not play along with us this month by adding your link over on the blog.

Until next time, have a craft day.
