A Simple Birthday Card

By
I so enjoyed my little water colour moment yesterday that I thought I'd have another go today!
This is a little different but a fab technique that I picked up at a craft group a few years ago.
Take a look at my card and I will explain all!


This is a two part stamped image and I inked up the green stems first. I made sure it was well inked and then I gave it a light spray with some water. Only spray very lightly as you don't want to drip ink everywhere! The image was stamped onto some thick card stock and then gently dried with a heat gun. Again this needs to be done carefully or else the ink blows everywhere!!
Using a pale blue ink I did the same with the flower heads. As all the detail was lost I used a darker blue and over stamped the flowers . This was done after the first inking was dry.
A simple Happy Birthday was then added and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.



This card is being entered into the following challenges:

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
