Quick and Easy Cards (by Corine)

Hello!

Here I am again and would like to show you my 3rd card as a guest designer. This time I made two simple cards.

 

I used the stamps from these sheets:

Floral Notes

Tangled Fragments

Harlequin Fragments 

To make this card you need a stamping tool. Place a piece of white watercolour paper on the stamping tool, attach the background stamp to the stamping tool. Apply two colours of Distress Oxide (Salvaged Patina and Kitch Flamingo) or Distress Ink (Salvaged Patina and Shaded Lilac) on the stamp. Let this air dry.

Stamp the flower with waterproof black ink on the background print and colour the stamp with watercolour pencils.

As a finishing touch, I attached a text sticker to the card. I coloured the edges of the sticker with black ink using a blending tool.

It is also nice to give the flowers an extra dimension with a glitter pen or a white gel pen.

I hope to have inspired you again now, and if you want to try out the technique for these cards, I wish you good luck and have fun.

Kind regards,

Corine van Kuilenberg. 

Floral Notes (by Corine)

Hello!

Here I am again and would like to show you my second card as a guest designer. This time I made a simple card.

I used the stamps from these sheets:

Floral Notes

Tangled Fragments 

Stamp the flower with Stazon Jet Black on the watercolour paper. I used my stamping platform for this, so that I can make a nice black print.

Mask the flowers with masking tape. You stamp the flower on post it paper and cut out the buds and flowers. You paste this over the stamped image. Then stamp over your image with Distress Oxide Bundled Sage. I also used the stamping platform for this.

I coloured the flower with watercolour markers.

After the ink had dried well, I applied accents to the open flowers with a Gelly Roll Stardust marker. Unfortunately you cannot see this very well in the picture. It gives a nice glitter effect.

Finally I stamped the text with Stazon Jet Black.

I hope I have inspired you. If you want to try this technique, I wish you a lot of fun.

Kind regards,

Corine van Kuilenburg
