Phoenix Inspirations

I posted a card a couple of days ago that I demo'd at my last workshop. It was a Kick Stand card and you can go back and see it  HERE  - or you could hang around here a little longer and take a look at the other Kick Stand card that I made today Don't you just love these earthy tones along side the new Soft Sky? Perfect too with the lovely new Wetlands set. It also seemed the perfect opportunity to get out the Fine Feathers again - I've used them to create the background on the top flap. This card actually came about after another demo I did showing off printing with an acrylic block. It's very easy - just add ink straight from the pad directly to the block - huff on it a few times and then press down onto the card stock - here's what I made Materials - Stampin' Up Stamps: Wetlands, Fine Feathers Ink: Soft Sky, Baked Brown Sugar, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Early Espresso, Always Artichoke Card Stock: Naturals White, Whisper White, Soft ...

Good morning all I hope it's warm where you are 'cos this week at  52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown  we have some very cool colours for you - take a look Please remember to only use these 3 colours on your Christmas cards - thanks. Here's mine I had great fun making this card as I used my favourite tool - the brayer. Brayering makes such lovely backgrounds but I just used it here to create the sky, the hills were created by sponging over torn copy paper. After creating my main picture panel I mounted it on to Midnight Muse card stock which I had run through the Big Shot with a scallop edge die, this was mounted onto my card blank which had been stamped with the top of a fir tree stamp. Now Ruth I know what you are going to say - no decoration inside! There is I promise you. This card (along with others) was made a few weeks ago just before I did a craft fair and I quickly photographed the fronts of the cards before packaging them up in their cellophane bags ...
