Here's another idea I picked up from the Online Card Classes latest class called Stretch your Dies...........
I die cut this wavy border die by Lawn Fawn out of acetate, then just used it as a guide to blend panels of different distress inks across the cardstock........
My intention was to use to with the 'stripes' going horizontally across the card, but then I stuck on the 'happy' die cut word (from Clearly Besotted) and it was too late...never mind. The stamp is by ???, sorry I can't get to my stamp supplies at the moment, and it's one I coloured ages ago using Prisma pencils and outlining with my Letraset fine liner pen
Talking of which, I have a set of all four black fineliner pens from Letraset to give away to one of you. They really are the bees knees - you can colour in tiny details that haven't stamped properly, outline stamped images to make them crisp, add detail to a stamp and so on. The beauty is that you can colour right over them with alcohol markers and they don't smear. Just leave your name under this post if you would like a chance to win them.
The winner of the Polkadoodles CD - Glennis - hasn't come forward. I will give her until Saturday to claim her prize, and if I haven't heard from her I will draw (yet another) winner from the original comments, and let you know on Sunday who has won the fineliners and possibly the CD if it hasn't been claimed
A couple of you have noticed that I haven't been making my usual posts on the Letraset blog for a while, yes, I am still on the team, I have just had a bit of a break, I have been on the team since it started, and I think a bit of a sabbatical is good every so often, but I will be back over there very soon
See you tomorrow x
What a great idea simple but very effective :)

I love the wavy line technique you've used - I've used die cuts as masks for circles and ovals but never thought of extending it further. Your finished card is gorgeous, really magical

Ha, I wouldn't be surprised if the idea for this technique came from Laura Bassen. That background has her signature (cf. https://laurafadora.wordpress.com/2015/03/19/mama-elephant-magical-moments/).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love the result, especially the way the coloured areas are 'nestling' at the top.
Thanks for the chance to extend my collection of Letraset fineliner pens. At this point, I only have 1 size.
I love this idea! it would not have occurred to me, and now I want to give it a try. Love the colors, too. Thank you for the chance to win those awesome markers!

Very cute! It all looks like it came out of a fairy tale. I don't have a lot of dies because I have my Cricut. I am trying to get some basic shapes to stamp on. But it's slow going. Thanks for sharing what you've learned in your classes. Hugs, Jess
ReplyDeletelove your card. Looks like a fairy tale setting.
