Pink Blossom CAS Card (by Tracy)

Hello everyone, this is my third and last post for this month, and here is another creation from May's show. So to create this I gently brushed some Kitsch Flamingo Distress Inks down one side of my card. Using the Orchard Design a Tree stamp set I stamped it off the edge down one side. Using the blossom stamps in Versafine Clair Pink Delight I then added the blossoms. I added a sentiment from Life is so much Better.

 

Thank you for looking.

Happy crafting.

There's No Place Like Home

 Hello, I am sharing some more cards from The Craft Store show in May. 

These feature some more of the wonderful, quirky houses by Kim Moody and Orchard Design a Tree

My first card uses Urban Chic. Such a fun house.

For my backing I used the last piece of my master board that Lesley did as a Facebook live last year. I stamped the house with Versamark and embossed in white. I coloured using water colour inks. I then masked the house and stamped the trees and added foliage.  When it was all dry I removed the mask.

My next card uses the Luv Shack.

I stamped the house with Black Archival ink and used coloured pencils and a blending solution. For the flowers around the arch and across the house I used some flocking powder to give some texture. I added some distant hills using some torn paper and Distress Ink. I added a sentiment from Life is So Much Better.

This card uses the  Bottle and Jug set. 

Again, I stamped in black and coloured with pencils which I blended. I stamped and cut out the fence panels a couple of times to extend the front. I then added some colourful bunting.

My last card today uses the Cotswold Stone set.

I kept this very simple by stamping in Brown Archival and using brown and sepia pencils. I stamped the two trees in front of the house and used a peach colour ink for the blossom I finished with some  clouds using a stencil and a sentiment from the Dutch House set

Thanks for looking

Brusho Tree (by Tracy)

Hello here is my second post this month, with a creation from May's show. To create this I used Distress Oxides over a moon mask, I stamped my tree from Orchard Design A Tree set, with Versafine Clair. I sprinkled some Brushos lightly over the branches, then with a fine mist added a little bit of water to activate the Brushos. I then added a sentiment from the set called Life is so much Better.

Thank you for looking and I will see you later in the month with another creation.

Happy Crafting

Blossom Lane

This canvas was quite a labour of love as firstly I stamped, coloured and fussy cut each of Kim Moody's latest release of stamps which include ;

Kim Moody - Bottle and Jug A6 rubber stamp 

Kim Moody - Cotswold Stone A6 rubber stamp

Kim Moody - Luv Shack A6 rubber stamp

Kim Moody - Urban Chic A6 rubber stamp

Plus I have also used the Chocolate Baroque stamps

Orchard Design a Tree Rubber stamp sheet - A6

Although not a necessity and very time consuming I stamped and coloured some blossoms to add depth to the canvas fussy cutting the individual blossoms and shaping and applying each of them to the trees.

Next the canvas itself was coloured using a wash of distress inks, which I also used to colour the cottages. The path was just randomly sized paving slabs yet again coloured using a paintbrush and distress inkpads allowing the colour to fade before replenishing the brush which gives a natural look to the shading.

The sentiment is from the Life Is So Much better set which was simply stamped and cut up before being applied to the canvas.

Life is so much Better Rubber Stamp sheet - A5

To finish I simply set everything in place before adding some birds using a fine liner pen.

Here are also one each of the cards from Kim's new range;
