Mother's day cards using Kraft card and distress inks

Hello!

I am back with a few more cards made using the newly released Craftangles stamps and stencils!

I really had fun with these!

For the first card, I started off with a panel of  Craftangles kraft card, which I coloured using Tim Holtz distess inks (mowed lawn, festive berries and peacock feathers) 

I stencilled over this coloured card base using the butterflies and bricks stencil and Fired brick distress ink from Tim Holtz.

I then stamped the sentiment.. a combination of sentiments from Craftangles 'Happy Mother's Day' and 'Wonderful Mom' stamp sets and words from MFT stamp sets.

I heat embossed the sentiment and added some white paint splatter to create some interest. 

I finished the card by adhering it to a white top folding card base and adding some twine and a butterfly charm.

I followed Kristina Werner's card blending techniques for these cards..not very successfully though!

You can checkout the videos here.

For the second card, I used the same stencil as above, and used a monochromatic palette.

I used Tim Holtz distress inks (crushed olive and mowed lawn) to colour this one layer kraft card base from Craftangles.

I then used Versafine Olympia Green ink to stencil the butterflies.

This ink is a pigment ink so it stained my stencil :(

I should have thought of that before I used it!!

I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn distress ink to stamp the sentiment 

(Craftangles 'Happy Mother's Day' stamp set)

using my Misti. 

I then off set the card by just a little bit and stamped the sentiment again with Versafine Onyx Black ink, in order to create some dimension.

I added some enamel dots (fro Let'z Craft) and twine and a butterfly charm to finish the card.

For the third card, I used Tim Holtz Festive Berries and Dusty Concord distress inks.

I then placed the stencil over the coloured card base and used the Dusty Concord ink some more.

This created a beautiful effect.

I added some silver acrylic paint splatter , a white heat embossed sentiment 

and some silver thread, to finish the card.

For the last card, I stamped the Supergirl image from Craftangles 'Super Girl' stamp set, 

but modifed the hair to make her look like a mom!

To do this, I inked up the stamp and then wiped off the ink on the pigtails before stamping. 

After stamping, I used a black marker to create the hair.

I wanted the image to represent a Super mom!

I decided to create a frame to frame the Super Mom. 

So I used Queen and Company's oval frame die to cut out a black frame. 

I order to add some dimension, I stacked 3 frame die cuts. 

I embossed the top die cut to create some interest.

To create the background, I stamped the sentiment using Tim Holtz 'Brushed Cordruoy' distress ink, on Craftangles Kraft card stock, to create a tone on tone look.

I then stamped the main sentiment (Craftangles Happy Mothers day stamp set) in black over this background. 

Once I added the framed image, I added the word 'Mother' (heat embossed in white on black cardstock).

I then adhered this panel to a white top folding card base and finished the card using gold and silver star sequins from my stash.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my process, 

and will give these stamps and stencils a try.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Hnmd New release...Super heroes

Hello!

I am super thrilled to use HndMd's newly released ' Supergirls' 'Superboys' stamp and die sets, 'Birthday wishes' stamp set,  'Superkids' 6"x6" paper pack and the 'Filmstrip' die set!

I cannot say enough about the quality of the stamps and the dies!. The dies are super light and cut like butter through even 300 gsm cardstock (I used this for the film strip).

 The stamp quality is excellent and the impressions perfect!!

The papers are of fabulous quality, super luxurious and just the right thickness! 

For the first card , I stamped the superboy and super girl image as will as the super hero sentiment on some Bielo Cardstock. I then coloured the images using Steadler watercolour pencils and then blended the colours with a wet brush.

I used a patterned paper from the 'Superkids' paper pack as the background for my super heroes.

I finished the card with an anniversary sentiment from Hero Arts.
