Thank you – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

I’m dropping in quickly with a couple of cards that went up on the Jane’s Doodles blog this week. CAS and very simple to make. The flowers and leaves are from the Smile stamp set. The sentiment is from an old Jane’s Doodle set, which I believe has been discontinued.

Thinking of you @ Muse

It is my turn again at the Muse Card Club and I must admit that I really love how this card turned out.

muse_logo

I stamped the images from the Avery Elle set Petals and Stems in Luxe Memento pigment ink. Once dry, I went over the images with different shades of Prisacolor pencils to add some shading and depth. It took quite a while to get the desired blending, but it was quite therapeutic. I used a Derwent blending pencil to help blend the colours. Finally I fussy cut all the images out and then added them onto the card base with foam dimensionals.

Thinking of you | Marion Vagg

I have really loved the latest online card class – Watercolour for Card makers. For my card today I painted a stamped image with distress inks as shown on Day 5 and 6. I really felt like an artist and I loved how it turned out!
