Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Susan Wong

Welcome back everyone 😊
I am once again joining in with the Crazy Crafters for a blog hop. This week we are all CASEing the works of Susan Wong



Here is the card from Susan's blog I have chosen to CASE



The elements of this card that I was drawn to was something I have used just recently, which was more accidental before than on purpose.. I smudged ink when painting and couldn't cover it so chopped it out with a punch...You can see that card HERE.
The little bite out of the card in my opinion is just so cute and this time I decided it would be used on purpose lol

and here is my card

Hearts For You

#KOCreationscards #Labeleralphabet #Happybirthdaygorgeous #Butterfliesthinlits #Flowers #Garden #Nature #Sequins #Cardmaking Stampinup

I started by embossing the butterfly with embossing paste. I used the swallow tail thinlit from the Butterflies thinlit set to do this with! I mixed the embossing paste with Crumb Cake ink and then spread over the thinlit onto the card, when covered lift thinlit to reveal the pattern. *Wash thinlit and tools immediately! 

I cut out the butterfly in vellum and overlaid  this so the embossing peeped through. I trimmed off the tails so that the bottom of my butterfly wasn't past the bottom of mt card.

I stamped the leaf stems in Wild Wasabi and the flowers in Berry Burst using the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. 

I topped this with a sentiment 'FOR YOU' using the Labeler Alphabet stamp set and a piece of Berry Burst seam binding ribbon.

This colour scheme was inspired by the Global Design Project Teams weekly challenge.

Aren't they just divine!

My Card base is Thick Whisper White card stock with a layer of Berry Burst card stock.

Using the Berry Burst card stock and tied the Whisper White twine around the card, I tied in a strip of black mini sequins and then tied a bow combined with a Corrugated Element. 

I finished the card with some of the black mini sequins glued over the flower centres and a couple of small hearts from the Hearts and Stars Elements.

 I used the 1" punch to chop out the half circle from the card front.

For the inside I stamped the same images as the front in the bottom right corner, adding some of the sequins and a small wooden heart.
I adore how this card finished, it is just so sweet and pretty and still manages to remain clean and relatively simple too.

Enjoy Colour - #GDP082

Welcome back crafty people.

I have a few things to share with you today. 

One is my entry into #GDP082 

This is the sketch that the design team have came up with for this weeks challenge

Before we start can I just say I am in love with colour!

I have always enjoyed using bright colours, but I have finally learnt how to put them together in a way that looks amazing. Took me long enough! (well I think it looks pretty good any way lol)

 I also adore water colouring and this particular way of adding colour to the water colour paper is just so easy and I must say FUN!

Smooshing! Have you tried it??

This is my second bit on news!

 I will be trying another FB LIVE class on Monday 17th April at 10.30am to show the Smooshing technique! Hopefully my internet connection holds! 

Can't be as bad as the last effort can it!

Already stressing! hahahaha

These cards below will be for R.A.K. (random acts of kindness) in May. These will be the last set using some of these products, as I am sure some will be retiring (sad face)

But the GREAT new is, we will have new products to play with so very soon! 

The new Catalouge products will be released For Sale on the 1st of June.

Here is the main reason for my blogs my projects lol :)

I have kept true to the sketch for this weks challenge.

ENJOY!

#Smooshingtechnique #splatter #metallicsequins #KOCreationscards #GDP082 #Imbringingrakcardsback #Labeleralphabet

The colours used are Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and Peekaboo Peach. The card base is thick Whisper White.

I splashed Whisper White and water droplets over the dried colours for the splatter effect. 

I also added white perfect accents with the backs removed as 3d water droplets.

I used a piece of the 2017-2107 in colour DSP for the side contrast and added basic black twine for an accent. 

The focal was stamped using the Labeler Alphabet. I used my aqua painter to wipe colour over the top half of label. I punched the butterflies using the bitty buttefly punch with the left over piece of coloured paper.

To finish I added a few black metallic sequins to drag the black further onto the card.

Seeing that I had coloured a whole peice of water color paper, I decided to make another card.

 I just stepped it up a little by adding the flourish from flourishing phrases and some dots of white perfect accents

ENJOY ! 

Take 2 stepped up
