Watercolour Medallion – Penny Black

simplicity sister

I’m back with another Penny Black card using some products from their latest release.

I usually create a background like this one with distress inks. But this time I used Kuretake watercolours instead. What I love about these paints is that they are so creamy. I started by wetting some water colour paper with plain water and a paint brush. I then randomly painted on some teals and blues and let the water do the blending. I dried this with my heat tool, before putting some of the watercolours onto my craft mat and adding water to make little pools of colour. I then dabbed the paper into the paint to create the splotches. I did this several times until I was happy with the result.

Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut it with the Penny Black Medallion Creative die. I removed some of the die cut pieces and then adhered the rest onto a card base with some liquid glue. The Hello die cut is from the Penny Black Hello Christmas word set. I really love how it turned out.

Pillow Box Project – Sunny Studio

I’ve got a sweet little project up on the Sunny Studio blog today. What better way to package some Easter treats, then in a pillow box?

I stamped the stars on the background using the Sunny Borders stamp set. The banner is from the same set. The chick and eggs are from the A Good Egg set and I also used the coordinating dies.

Thanks – Sunny Studio

I’m a little late with my Sunny Studio card, but I have just been sooo busy and feel like I have been chasing my tail all week. Have you had week’s like that? It doesn’t help that hubster is overseas for work so I’m juggling the single mum gig as well!

Anyway, you came here for a card, and a card I have for you – one that I hope will brighten your day. It uses the Sunny Studio Backyard Bugs and Sunny Sentiment stamp sets.

Thanks Sunny Studio | Marion Vagg

I stamped the images and coloured them in with Copic markers. I then arranged them into a scene and used a Lawn Fawn Polaroid die (Say Cheese) to contain the scene. The background stripey paper is some patterned paper from my stash.

Sunshine – Sunny Studio

Hello. Today I have a Sunny Studio card to share with you that would brighten anyone’s day. Who doesn’t love a rainbow? This card was made using the Rain or Shine set along with the Sunny Sentiments set. And don’t you just love the Sunshine word die?

To create the sky I sponged on some Distress ink then spritzed it with a mini mister. I then mopped up the excess with a paper towel.
