Marbled Balloons for CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge

Hi All

I want to share a card I recently made for my sister's boyfriend using a marbled card from last month's shaving foam technique class.

The inspiration came from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #190 combined with the colouring technique I used for CC&S#188

 

I used the outline balloon stamps from the Balloon Celebration set to create a couple of masks before stamping on the marbled card. I created more depth by using the Aqua Painters to add shadows before colouring the background with Island Indigo marker and drawing the strings using white pigment pen. I then heat embossed the stars randomly in gold as well as adding shimmer on the balloons with a glitter brush pen.

I still have a few of these marbled cards and will share more makes once I think of other ways of using them.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you like the card.

Stampin' with Flower Patch and Wherever You Go

Hi All

I am sharing with you today a couple of cards using the Flower Patch and Wherever You Go sets from Stampin' Up! 

From my last post, I was inspired by my sister's wedding bouquet and loved the effect so much I created some more using the Flower Fair dies.

I used the Layering Circles die to emboss the base card before stamping and decorating with the flowers. Sentiments used are from Wetlands and Thankful Thoughts.

I used daubers and cotton buds to colour the inside of the flowers then finishing off with the pearls and gold metallic thread.

I was very pleased with these cards and surprised how the vanilla base card made the flowers pop even more.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the cards. Contact us if you have any questions regarding the products used which are available on our Online Store.
