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!
