Indigo Blue Stamps

Here's a quick card I made with the Indigo Blue Stamps from a Craft magazine (Cover pack) I purchased a few weeks' ago.

The background was painted and then stamped over. I spritzed inks with mica in on the background and sentiment too to add a little sparkle.

More to come soon....

All That Glitters - Imagination Crafts June Project

Hello again

For this month's project the theme is "All That Glitters" - this theme is great as you can do almost anything with Sparkle Medium for that glittery finish.

Iv'e used the Ivy Stencil here to create both the background and foreground for this card plus added a new technique to colour the Butterfly. The background was stencilled with Diamond Sparkle Medium through the Ivy Stencil and the foreground I stencilled some purple ink through the stencil.

Any embellishment can be coloured with Sparkle Medium. - To colour the Butterfly I dabbed Sparkle Medium with a stencil brush onto the image and this coloured the whole embellishment. I was then left with an outline which I could cut out and use again on another card.

Next, I stamped a Best Wishes using Silkies so that the greeting sparkled.  I also spread some air-drying clay into leaf and flower moulds and when dry, I painted them with Silkies too. 

To finish, I added two inked flourishes to either side.  This card could be used for any occasion. More to come soon.  Why not join in the Challenge and if you use any Imagination Craft products you could be in with a chance to win £40 worth of goodies.

Pretty Project on Vellum

Daisy Decoupage Stamp.

More cards for you using Imagination Crafts products. This card was made with the Imagination Craft Daisy Decoupage stamp on Vellum. All of the Decoupage stamps are lovely and are very versatile to use for card-making, scrap-booking or home projects.

The Daisies were first stamped onto Vellum with Silkies then embossed with an embossing tool to add depth. I decoupaged three large daisies then added more to the sides and top for effect. 

Another idea to use this Decoupage stamp but this time using inks.

More to come in the near future. 

IMAGINATION CRAFTS SHOWS on CREATE AND CRAFT

Well, what FANTASTIC shows over the weekend. How Sue kept it together working with Eric, sorry - Dean I don't know. He's not a presenter he's a very naughty boy. Lol.

Lisa did a brilliant job demoing the lovely products - the samples were fabulous and I loved the MDF samples in particular. Lots of inspiration and ideas for the future. I can't wait now to get out some canvasses, bags, boxes, and furniture to use with Sparkle Medium and Silkies.  I love these paints - so versatile and colourful.

Looking forward to more shows very soon I hope.

More TV Samples for Imagination Crafts

Create and Craft TV - Imagination Crafts Samples

Hello again - Iv'e been busy all week making more samples for Create and Craft on behalf of Imagination Crafts.  Sue will be on TV on Saturday starting at 9a.m. and on Sunday too. 6 shows in all so the Designers have all been busy creating various project for you all to see. Here are a few of mine.

Iv'e been playing with the new Silkies - they are so versatile and the finish is absolutely amazing.  On flowers if you bend the petals the light catches and give a depth of metallic colour which Iv'e not seen on any other paints before and Iv'e been painting for quite a while now.

I need to order some more Silkies in blue as I can already imagine a lovely moonscape picture which is bursting to get out of my head and onto canvas. Keep watching the blog for more news....

Hope you like the samples - back again soon with more projects.
