Card For my Friend ( by Magda)

I hope my friend will be happy and surprised when she receives this card.
It is a quick card to colour and here below is the step by step:

You need Masking Tissue for points 1, 2 and 3 as you have always to mask the part
 of the stamp you don't want

1.  Stamp on white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black half of the stamp Hanging Flowers
      on the fold of the card
2.   Apply Versafine Onyx Black on the unmasked part of stamp Chequered Flowers and press it
      where decided
3.   Stamp with Versafine Onyx Black only  the unmasked leaves of the stamp Hanging Flowers in
      order to balance the card
4.   Colour all with the Watercolour Brush - detailer Tip using Brusho as watercolours.
5.   Stamp on a white piece of cardstock the sentiment of the set Words to Dazzle and Sparkle,
      cut it as decoration and glue it.

Thanks for passing by,

Magda

Hanging Flowers and Floral Harmony (posted by Claire)

Good morning, today I'm sharing 3 cards made with some of the gorgeous new stamps which you can find here I love to colour flowers so I thoroughly enjoyed making these cards. My first card features Hanging Flowers

I stamped the focal image onto some white stamping card with black Versafine ink and then stamped twice more on some scraps of stamping card so that I could decoupage some of the flowers. I coloured the images with watercolour pencils, using a damp brush to blend the colour. I coloured around the image with watercolour paint using lots of water to create a muted effect. I stamped the foliage using Take it or Leaf it with a little distress ink. I splashed a little blue and green watercolour paint here and there and added a blue bow and a sparkly dazzler to finish the card off.

I've used the same stamp for this card but I've coloured the flowers pink for a change.  I stamped the image and then masked part of it so I could stamp again to create a larger focal image. 

 

I used watercolour pencils to colour the flowers and leaves and again created a muted green background using the ink on my blending sponge. I splashed some water here and there and blotted it with tissue. Once this was dry I stamped the beautiful Baroque Corners with Versamark and embossed with gold EP. I didn't want to clutter the image with embellies so I just matted and layered using white and pink card .

Last but not least I've used Floral Harmony to make this card. I stamped the image with black versafine and then stamped around the image with the very edge of the stamp to create a border.

I've added some colour using watercolour pencils and paint and stamped a little sentiment before layering up on white and red card. 

I really enjoyed making these cards, they are very simple to make but colouring with pencils and a little watercolour paint is so relaxing.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you're enjoying all the floral delights from my lovely teamies this month

hanging flowers (byVeronica)

 I hope you enjoyed watching Lesley and Lynnda on the recent TV shows , showing the lovely colouring pages and the matching stamps.
These are two of my samples using the hanging flowers stamp - loved this one, thought it was very like a fuschsia, I shall probably get corrected on that though, not being a gardener.
Needless to say, I used brushos on the first one. I stamped the flowers first using black versafine and clear embossing powder. then painted them with masking fluid before using grey brusho powder and spritzing with water.
Once everything was dry, I rubbed off the masking fluid and painted the leaves using lime green brusho. White and black mats finished it off.

The second version was stamped with versamark onto black card and embossed with gold detail powder. The flowers and leaves were painted with diluted  Aztec lustre paints - have to admit this was their first use since I bought them from CB last year!
Mats this time were gold and black onto a white base card.

There were some fantastic samples on the shows, so keep checking to see what my teamies have to show you, you won't be disappointed!
