It’s been a little while since I have posted, but life has just been SUPER busy of late. I did however get crafty recently and created this card for Penny Black. It uses the Dynamic stamp set and the sentiment is from the Hope Shines set.

I sponged one some Salty Ocean and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink onto some smooth white card stock before splattering it with water droplets which I mopped up with a paper towel. Once dry, I made sure to use an anti-static powder bag before white heat embossing the flowers and the sentiment. I wanted the blooms to pop even more, so I covered them generously with some shimmer using a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen. It is so shimmery in real life and the photo below captures it a bit better.

Hello. I am slowly get back onto the card making bandwagon again. I have had family staying with us the last 2 weeks and that has involved a lot of things, but not any card making. It felt good to get back into it today.

I have a Penny Black card to share with you using the adorable Bunny Love die. I blended in some Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade and Fossilized Amber Oxide inks onto some white card stock. I spritzed it with some water before die cutting out the bunnies. I then die cut the bunnies again from white card stock and inlaid them into the coloured panel. I then adhered another white layer of die cuts over the top of that to add some subtle dimension.

The sentiment is part of a sentiment from the Smitten stamp set, which is a newly released stamp set.

A simple but striking card that was fairly quick to make.

I have a simple Christmas card to share with you today. It uses my two favourite crafty items – Distress Oxide inks and die cuts.

I blended in some Lucky Clover and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink onto some Bristol smooth white card stock. I flicked on some water droplets to create the snow effect, which I dabbed off with a paper towel.

I then die cut the Penny Black Swirl Tree from white card stock and adhered it onto the inked panel. Before adhering to the card base, I created some score lines with a stylus and score board to create a decorative border.

The sentiment is from the Penny Black Banner Sentiments stamp set. It’s a bit hard to tell, but the tree die cut has some shimmer thanks to a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.
