Thank You card with Kaylee

Hello Everyone,  I just love trying to use the one die/stamp in different ways - this time using the Blooming Friendship flower die/stamp.

I

I ripped around the edge of the paper, embossed the flower and die cut the mid size flower.  I used the same die to cut it from the glitter card and a foam backer.

I glued the foam to the back of the embossed stamp and then glued the silver cutout off-set a bit.

Now to put it all together.  Backed the paper panel, the flower and the sentiment with cardboard and glued them in place.  Just tucked and glued the leaves into place as well.

Had to add a touch of glitter to the leaves and a few dots over the paper panel.

Finished.

Resin Tag

 Seaside Hanging Tag

Hello everyone,  I have just discovered the world of 'Resin Art'.  So I had a hunt for some moulds I could try that fitted in with the Seaside Girl Collection.  This is what developed.

Firstly I got curious - what would this resin work in, so I just made up a cupful and gathered a variety of mould types.  

I tried it in silicone and clear soft moulds, plastic dish and a sticky tape backed/acetate frame free form.  They all worked, some just removed easier.

My first batch I just used the clear resin.  Once it was cured I coated them with gesso thinking it would paint easier - I found that the wet ink was lifting the gesso in places. So, next I tried colouring the resin by adding a coloured alcohol ink (white).  This worked better with the painting - so now I know.

I cut a piece of cardboard 4" x 5" and sealed it with a coating of gesso on both sides.

I sealed the paper as well (next time I would use a matte) then glued it onto the backing board with glue.

I painted more moulds than I needed with the alcohol inks.  I used a few coats of different colours and the inks blended well onto the resin.

The components I used for this project.  Once I got this far it was just a matter of gluing it all together.  I added some art stones and modelling paste to finish it off.

The finished project.   

With the resin pieces, I thought that this idea of a 'hanging tag' could be a nice gift.

Seaside Girl Seaside Serenity Layout

Seaside Serenity Layout

Welcome!  This time I’ve gathered together some of the awesome dies, stamps and ephemera pieces in Tina Ollett’s Seaside Girl collection to create another laid back and relaxing layout.

I had a few different die cuts and stamps left over from another project so I just added to them to make this layout.  I had a mix of different cardstock, acetate and glitter card colours that I used for the stamping and die cutting.  The edges of the cardstock and ephemera pieces were inked,  also distressed the the cardbase that the photo mounted onto.   I cut the ends of the sentiments to make them look like weathered signs, inked the edges and shaped them a little. I used the stayz ink for the stamps on the acetate then coloured them with a mix of 3 colours of alcohol inks using the blending tips.

Next I prepared the 12" designer page with some clear embossed waves in the area where I thought it would be outside the photo area.

Once all the pieces were prepared, it was just a matter of mounting and gluing them in place.  The bigger pieces were backed with cardboard and the smaller pieces were either glued with the tacky glue or if it needed more height I used the liquid scrap spots.  I wrapped the photo with string and also added a string bow to the arrangement. 

Some artsy stones, glitter glue and resin bubbles where added randomly to finish the project.

Seaside Girl - Endless As the Ocean Card

 Seaside Girl

"Endless As the Ocean" card

Welcome to my next project for Couture Creations using the

'Seaside Girl' Collection.

This time I thought I would make a card with some of the elements from this new collection plus adding some alcohol inks.  So here goes....

I cut the A4 Synthetic paper into quarters and used one of the quarters.  I applied some Alcohol Ink Blending Solution all over the page then randomly dropped the mix of Alcohol inks onto the page.  Each time I used a colour I used the blower to spread the inks around.  The Pearl sheen was stunning and all of the colours were so vivid.  Once I felt happy with the mix I allowed it to dry.

I stamped and embossed the large shell stamp onto one corner, then die-cut it out.

 

I cut the page on a diagonal and die-cut the other 2 elements.

I glued the inked section to the bottom of the cardbase and added a thin strip of glitter card to it's edge.  I cut out a sentiment panel and inked the edges. 

The Liquid Scrap Spots were excellent for gluing the thinner elements - they were clear and gave them height.  I used the a mix of the other glues for the elements.

I cut the coral die-cut apart and spread it around the shells.  On the sides of the card I just added a couple of sequences with a drop of glitter glue in their centres.

The finished project.
