Multicoloured Hibiscus

Hi everybody,

It's Friday, so It's my turn to show you all a card.  I used the A5 Hibiscus stamp to make this card, I wanted something summery and colourful, so here is what I came up with:

What you will need:

A5 Hibiscus stamp from Colourific
Stamping card
A4 Burgundy card
Multicoloured embossing inks - I used Catherine Pooler's Minis - Party Collection
Clear Embossing powder
Sentiment stamps from my stash
Tonic Nuvo drops
Kitchen roll
paintbrush and water

Here is what I did:

1. Randomly stamped and embossed images from the Hibiscus stamp set onto white stamping card measuring 17 x 13.5 cms.
2. Blended the white background with the red ink and splashed water onto it.  Before it dried, I blotted it with the kitchen roll to leave white splodges on the card
3. I stamped and cut out a sentiment from my stash, you can use any of your own, and glued it to the card.
4. Mat and layer the card onto white card and I used a burgundy card base and Nuvo drops in each corner to finish it off.

All finished.  Time to clean up that lovely inky mess.

Autumnal Thanks - Design Team Member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with another card for you today. This card features stamps from the A6 Leaves clear stamp set from Colourific. This stamp set has a variety of leaves of different sizes and either as the outline or the bold full stamp. I used this stamp today with a masking and emboss resist technique to create a beautiful decorative panel. 

Autumnal Thanks card details:

To start, mask off an area for stamping - this area will be where we add colour later on. Now for this card, I used a stamping platform as I wanted to emboss the leaves where the colour was, and only stamp the leaves outside the colour in a simple ink - this area was not embossed.

Before inking, I prepped the area with an embossing buddy. The stamps were inked with versamark ink and covered in Pure Platinum embossing powder and heat set. Before moving the leaves to stamp in another area, I positioned the panel back into my stamping platform and covered the embossed area with masking tape. I removed the masking that I had originally put down to mask off the coloured area. 

With the stamps still in the same original position prior to embossing, I inked the stamps up with dark grey ink and stamped onto the card panel. I removed the masking paper to reveal continuous stamping between the embossing and the ink.  

I repeated this process of inking and embossing until I had a strip complete. To add the colour. I positioned the masking taped back onto the card cover the ink parts of the stamp and leaving over the embossing exposed. Using a blending tool and distress oxides (Fossilized amber, spiced marmalade and candied apple), I created a gradient embossed resist background. Once you have finished ink blending, removed the tape and buff the embossing with a dry paper towel. This will remove any excess ink left on top of the embossing. 

To finish the card, I added a layered 'Thanks' die cut from my stash and embellished with some colour corresponding sequins. The card panel was foam mounted onto an A6 (UK size) black card with a 1/8" border. 

I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.

Make a wish on a rainbow card - Design team member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with my first post for Colourific.co.uk! Colourific stamps has some great stamps to choose from, check out the link at the end of the post to visit the shop. Today's card is a lovely bright happy card using the A5 Unicorns & Chasing Rainbow set from Colourific.co.uk. I thought this card would be perfect for anyone who loves a rainbow and let's be honest who doesn't?! Or a great child's birthday card! I googled if you can make a wish on a rainbow. Apparently, when you see a rainbow, you should draw a cross on the ground and then you can make a wish on the rainbow!

Make a wish on a rainbow details:

To start off, stamp with versamark ink onto paper that has some tooth too it, as this was coloured in with pencils. Alternatively, you could colour this with alcohol markers or watercolours, but just make sure you use the right paper. I used Strathmore tone grey paper for this as I love how the pencil goes down onto this paper. 

To create a little interest to the rainbow, I used a slightly darker shade towards the end of each stripe of the rainbow and added a light area/highlight to the left side of the arch. Make sure you start of lightly applying the colour so you can add layers and blend between the shades. 

Once the rainbow was coloured, I stamped over it again using my stamping platform to heat emboss the lines. You can leave it without this stage if you prefer. Just using a simple pair of scissor I fussy cut the rainbow out. 

To make the rest of the card, I die cut circle out of scrap paper and use the negative to adhere to my card panel to create a mask. Using a cloud edge die from my stash to create a temporary stencil, I ink blended Salty ocean distress oxide and Faded jeans distress oxide of the stencil to create the background.

The rainbow was foam mounted onto the card. I also stamped and heat embossed two clouds from the stamp set, and added a little shading with pencils. These were added to the bottom of the rainbow. To finish, I added a small heat embossed sentiment from my craft stash and added a few rainbow jewels with glossy accents. 

I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.
