Marleen DT - Watercolour Peonies

Hello Everyone.

I'm Marleen and today I wanna share my first post since returning to the design team for
Colourific

I was on the DT last year but took a break from crafting and Annelies has been so kind to offer me to return to the team. Many thanks Annelies, I'm delighted to be back x

 This card is a simple stamping and masking technique.
I started by stamping the (red) flower in the corner. I then re-stamped the flower onto a post-it-note and cut it out. Adding the post-it-note over the flower I then stamped the (pink) flower in the other corner and finished with the (orange) flower above. I made post-it-note masks for all the flowers and stamped the leaves .

Then it was a simple matter of stamping my greeting and colouring in. I tend to use water colours or water colour pencils for my colouring and that's what I used here.

A very simple card but rather effective.

I used the flowers from the - A5 Peonies stamp set
and the sentiment is from the - A6 Princess Text set.

And that is it from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

DT Marleen - Background stamps on small hearts..

Hello Beautiful People

Its once again my turn to share a bit of inspiration for
Colourific.

For todays creation I've used 3 different background stamps.
Ive used:

A6 Flower Background
A6 Tiny hearts Background
A6 Grunge BackgroundA6 Princess text
All clear stamps.

I love strecthing my supplies a bit further, using them in different ways, so for todays card I stamped each background stamp, on seperate pieces of cards, in complementry colours and used a punch to cut a load of hearts from each . I added a bit of distress ink around the edges of each heart and around my card blank before sticking the hearts down.
I drew a couple of faint pencil lines down the card to try and keep the hearts strait, and I just rubbed them out once the hearts was stuck down with foam pads.

I finished the card with my greeting and a few clear nuvo drops. I stamped the greeting using my Misty, nit a must but I find it helps me so much getting things strait as I can test it before I commit.

  And that is all for today.

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.
