Cloudy Skies (by Judith)

Hello everyone, here are a couple of projects that I created for last month's TV shows on The Craft Store, using the fabulous new house stamps from Kim Moody.

 I created a background using Distress Inks in shades of blue and green. I stamped Luv Shack onto a smaller piece of Drawing Cartridge and masked the image. I stamped a couple of trees from Woodland Design a Tree and extended the hedge using a fineliner pen. I coloured the background using Distress Inks and a blending brush, I used a stencil over the top with more Distress Inks to add the clouds. I added foliage to the trees and grass using stamps from Glade Design a Tree stamp set. The image was coloured with pencils. I edged both pieces of card with ink to create more definition before I adhered them to the base card. Finally, I added a sentiment from Say it Vertically.

To create my second card, I chose three of the houses - Luv Shack, Cotswold Stone, Urban Chic, and stamped them on a piece of Drawing Cartridge, masking them as I went along. I coloured the background with Distress Ink, and coloured the images with pencils. I added a sentiment from Amazing Mackintosh Words. I stamped some foliage from Silhouette Grasses along the front.

 

I will be back later in the month with another project to share with you. Take care and stay safe,

Indian Elephants having fun by Debbie

I love that the Elephants come as a facing pair on the Indian Elephant stamps sheet. I started my card by stamping the elephants onto grey card and embossing with white powder then coloured with gel pens. The background was made with distress inks of various colours and paper to mask for the mountains, water and the sun. I love to watch nature programmes showing elephants spraying themselves with water and hunted around in my stash of stamps to find a stamp that resembled water splashes. My eureka moment was finding little dots that are with the trees from Glade Design a Tree. I stamped them with blues and white to give the look of water being sprayed. Thanks for stopping by Debbie
