Marleen DT - Tiny Hearts background

Hello Bloggers
and welcome
Its my turn to share a bit of inspiration using the amazing stamps from Colourific. 
 You can find the stamp I've used and all the other fantastic stamps in the
STORE.

I have 3 cards to share today but they are all variations of the same ideas and I use just the 1 background stamp.
This is a technique you can do with any background stamp and with a bit of fiddling around with your inks, use any stamp you have.

These cards all started out as simple stamping on my card stock with my Tiny Hearts Background stamp. The gradient in the colours are made by overlapping the inks. I used Distress ink for all 3 cards and if you start with the lighter colour on your stamp they wont really contaminate each other.

After stamping I cut 2 of the backgrounds into strips and added them to my card with foam tape to give them a lift. Use regular tape if you don't want the extra bulk.

I finished with a couple of die cut sentiments and a few black gems..

And that is all from me for today.

Im late, Im late.. for a very important date..

Hey everyone

And welcome..

My apologies, I'm late with today's post.. I had it all planned and yet it totally slipped my mind..

But hopefully better late than never.

I'm very excited for this post as it wasn't just me crafting. Me and my youngest daughter had a play together with her favourite Colourfic stamp. Abbie is 9 so I guess its no surprise that the unicorn is her favourite lol..

We both used the A6-flying unicorn set and I also used the A6-unicorn text set as well as the A6-Tiny hearts background stamp.

You can fins all the stamps in the STORE.

 

Abbie simply stamped and coloured hers with gel pens.
Me, I stamped my unicorn on to watercolour card stock and used distress ink (well watered down) to colour. My background is stamped and heat embossed with a iridescent powder. I then simply layered my background onto the card blank, stamped my greeting and finished with a few gems..

And that is it from me for today.

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.
