Watercolour and Barbara Gray

Hello and i seem to be late with today's blog post,

I have challenged my self to use things i have not used a lot off and today i have chosen some clarity stamps as these were bought a few years ago used them once or twice then they have been put away and every time i see them i say i am going to sell them or give them away but just keep the, any way i have used them in this card,

Ingredients are clarity stamps, spectrum aqua pens, memento ink pad pear tart.

watercolour card and black card.

I have stamped the wording with the memento and i stamped the leaves in the corner by colouring on to the stamp with the spectrum aqua pen i then coloured the vase and flower's with the pens and used a brush and water.

finally i mated on to black card then on to 6x6 card blank.

I hope you like and will post again i hope tomorrow,

until next time,

keep crafting.

Spectrum aqua and emmbossing powder

Hello and todays card is done with the spectrum aqua pens a Sheena Douglass stamp called Magnolia blossom and embossing powder and i also used a spellbinders die witch is called majestic labels 25.

This is one of the vids on the Leann chives dvd explaining about the aqua pens.

first you stamp clear ink on to watercolour card and emboss with clear embossing powder,

next is called wet on wet were you wet the card first then with a brush put on the colours, i coloured the pens on to glass mat first then picked up the color from there,

 once i have coloured the image i cut out with the spellbinders die and ink the edges with black soot

   I stamped and cut out the sentiment and matted on to black card stock 

for the finish i mated on to yellow card stock and added some pearls coloured with ct4 from the spectrum noir pens.

Yet again this card took no time at all but really enjoyed doing it,

I hope you have liked this post,

Until next time,

keep on crafting,

Indigoblu stamped candle

Hello and today is a first for me i have made a decorated candle,

now this is a Harry Potter inspired candle as i am a big fan and when i meet kay from indigoblu we found we had a shared passion for harry potter.

so i used a candle tissue paper stazon ink and the stamp set Hocus Poocus code HP 1 from indigoblu and a heat tool,

I stamped the images on to tissue paper and melted them on to the candle with the heat tool, please be carful as you can burn your self.

I then made a box with centaur pearl acetate and the big score from crafters companion.

I hopr you all like and want to have a go,
