With Love & Best Wishes... Sunken galleon on sparkly glitter background A6 card Hi Craft addicts! I bought the set of sparkly glitter inks from Spectrum Noir some time ago and hadn't used them so thought I better had and decided to make this under the sea card.... How I made this card:- I first of all cut a piece of white stamping card (either Hunkydory's Ink Me or Rare Earth are great) and taped it on to an old chopping board (far better use for me than actual cooking) using low tack tape. I then took the Spectrum Noir Sparkle inks (Blue Topaz, Aquamarine and Pink Garnet) and painted the entire card. I used a heat gun to dry it but then left it to dry naturally. Once it was totally dry, I flattened it out and trimmed it to 3" x 5" (approx) so that it would fit an A6 card. I then used the Galleon wreck, Anchor and seaweed images from the You're a Treasure stamp collection from For The Love of Stamps and stamped them on to the bottom of the pane...

Mermaids and underwater themed C6 gatefold card -  Day 198 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge (day 198 - goodness 200 is nearly here)...and I have made this Mermaids underwater themed C6 gatefold card. How I made this card:- This is a gatefold card, so I cut 2 pieces of white card slightly smaller than each of the front panels, making sure they fitted. I had bought some Creativ Bleeding Tissue which I had seen on Create and Craft and wanted to try it out, so I tore various strips (different shades of blue), wet the panels (one at a time) and placed the strips on top of them, brushed over them and then removed them to see what effect you can get from them - I also used a brush to blend the colours slightly. (I am going to do a rainbow version soon and will see what I can make of it! I then glued the panels on to the front of the card using PVA glue and left them to dry a bit. I used the Mermaid dies from the Moonstone set from ...

Happy Birthday - under the sea theme hand coloured A5 card -   Day 81 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I have wanted to try some of the colour wash paints I recently got from both Tattered Angels and the water colour inks from Brea Reese and some Hunkydory For The Love of Stamps for the figures etc. How I made this project:- This card is made up of several different components - the first is the sky, the second the divers, submarine stamp images and the last is the water. The Sky I took a piece of white stamping card (which fitted the A5 card) and having added some drops of the Brea Reese Watercolour inks on to a craft mat and swirled it around with some water - the colours I used were blues and purples.  I then placed the card on top of it and swiped it over the ink several times until I was happy with the effect. I also added some more water to dilute some areas and left it to dry over night (or you can use a heat gun but it does tend to ...

Happy birthday - underwater diver scene on 6in square card -  Day 58 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Such a strange now - snowing, sunshine and clouds - so have made this card to cheer me up! Once again I have used some of the brilliant stamps from For The Love of Stamps by Hunkdyor and some of Tattered Angels Colour Wash Paints... How I made this card:- I took a 6" x 6" piece of stamping card and trimmed it down so that it fitted on a 6" scalloped edged card. I wanted to try out some of the Tattered Angels Colour Wash Paints I had, so coloured it with their blues and blacks using a flat brush trying to merge the colours in to make the bottom darker than the top. I used a heat tool to dry it a bit and then left it to dry for about 20 minutes (trying to keep it flat at the same time). Once it was fully dry, I then created the underwater scene but stamping the shipwreck on the bottom right hand corner and the sea plants on the right - 2nd genera...
