Marleen DT - Mixed Media card

Hello Bloggers
and welcome
Its once again wednesday and my turn to share some  inspiration using the amazing stamps from Colourific.  Ive used a selection of stamps for the mixed media card Ive made for today. You can find them all in the STORE.




I started by adding distress ink to my background. I used water colour card stock to make sure it could take enough water to make the colours blend.

I used Archival black ink to stamp strait onto my background. I used the A6 Borders and Stems and the A6 Grunge background.

I stamped the butterfly and the sentiment from the A5 Butterflies take flight set on to scrap watercolour card stock and also used distress ink to colour, but this time i used a homemade silver mist spray as my water. This has given the sentiment and the butterfly a bit of sparkle.

I cut out the butterfly and added to my card base usong foam tape.
The sentimet I cut into single words and added scattered around the card.

This is such an easy way to make a mixed media look to a card and can be done using any stamps you have in your stash.

And that is all from me for today.

Stamping and Embossing

Hi everyone! Monica here sharing my first creation as a Colourific DT.  I am looking forward to a great term here and hope to keep everyone inspired!  Today I chose to use the "Butterflies Take Flight" A5 clear stamp set.  What a beauty this!

I stamped my images on Arches watercolor paper using a versamark ink and black embossing powder.  Once done I then fussy cut my butterflies out and colored them with zig clean color brush pens.  Which gives them a fun bright look.

To give my card some added depth I embossed the cardstock and finished it off with some sequins!

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed my post and thanks so much for stopping by...

Marleen DT - Butterfly and distress ink tecnique.

Hello Beautiful People..

Today is my very first post for a brand new design team I have been invited to join.
Colourific

I am super excited to join the team, and look forward to share all my creations.
The stamps are made from clear photopolymer and are really easy and nice to work with. I found they stamped perfect from very first try.

This card is made on water colour card stock as I had a play with distress ink and water. I added distress ink strait to my acrylic block and spraid it with water. I then put my card stock over the acrylic block and let the colour seep into the card for a few seconds before removing the card again. I let the card to air dry.
While the card was drying I stamped my butterfly from the "Butterflies take flight" stamp set.
I used the distress ink left on my acrylic block to colour in my butterfly. I just used a water paint brush to mop up the colour..

Then it was time to assemble my card. I used my Misty to add the sentiment, also from the "butterflies take flight". I fuzzy cut my butterfly and shaped the wings a bit and glued her onto the card. And I finished with a few gems..

And Voila, thats it. First card of many made.
I hope you will check out the BRAND NEW stamp release from Colourific and do let me know if the comment section if I have inspired you to try out the stamps or the tecnique Ive used.
