Pyramid fold card

A different style of card from me today... 

Pyramid - just for you card:

PRODUCTS USED: 

Birds and butterflies stamps

Birds and butterflies dies

Typewriter alpha stamps

Kitsch flamingo oxide

Peacock feathers oxide

6x6 card base 

6x6 card panel

Score board

Water spray 

Versafine onyx black ink

Brad/fastener

Posca pens 

Iridescent Angel hair

I used a 6x6 card base, and cut a 6x6 single panel. Scored diagonally on all 3 square areas...

Glue the panel onto the card base with the fold horizontal as above...

It should then fold into this pyramid shape, I clipped it to hold in place to show how it should look...

Fold back out flat and Ink the outer side with peacock feathers and kitsch flamingo oxides, this doesn't have to be flawless blending as you will see in the next step...

Spray with water - this will blend the 2 colours and get rid of the harsh lines to give a watercoloured effect...

Stamp butterflies in the same 2 oxide colours all over the background...

Stamp out some of the butterflies and dragonflies in versafine black, then die cut them...

Stamp out a sentiment using the typewriter alpha, I chose 'just for you'...

Fold up the card into pyramid shape and mark on the open edge about 1.5cm in - this is where we make a hole for the fastener...

I used a fiskars punch...

Colour your die cut elements in the same two oxide colours - I used a water brush to water colour with the inks...

Assemble your design and glue down. I added iridescent angel hair to back the elements onto for more interest. Put the Brad/fastener in the punched hole to hold the open flap in place. 

This card folds flat for posting which is a bonus. 

That's it!

Serendipity card

5x7 coffee stain, serendipity card:

PRODUCTS USED:

Coffee stain script ink'able

Bricks positive stamp 

Beautanicals set daisy stamp

5x7 Kraft card base & slightly smaller white layer

Water spray

Vintage photo distress ink

Tea dye distress ink

Peacock feathers oxide

Gold mica powder 

Texture paste

Teal ink spray

Gold embossing powder

Versamark clear ink

Versamarker pen

Bronze gel pen 

Snow blizzard embossing powder

White posca pen

Brown twine

HOW TO MAKE:

Ink the border of your white card panel in vintage photo...

Spritz with water to soften the blend (hides a multitude of sins I find)...

Ink through the coffee stain ink'able with vintage photo distress, also add some script detail too (this begins to build the layers)...

Clean the stencil with water, but let's not waste the ink - let it drop onto your page to add a few splatters...

Stamp the brick background in tea dye randomly - I tend to work in uneven numbers so would stamp it 3 or 5 times...

Next mix some texture paste with some gold mica powder - this makes a very subtle rose gold esk paste...

Put it through the script part of the ink'able, adds more interest and layer to the background...

Now take the lid off a real ink spray (I used pearlywinks) dip a paintbrush in and tap it with scissors over the page to get random spatters (I love brown and teal together)...

On Kraft card stamp out the large daisy with versamark, sprinkle over good embossing powder and heat set...

Stamp out the serendipity sentiment and ink both that and the daisies over with vintage photo distress ink...

Fussy cut...

Mount the sentiment onto white card and ink the edges with peacock feathers (or any teal ink)...

Use a versamarker pen to add to the center of the daisies, sprinkle over snow blizzard embossing powder - heat set. Gives a nice middle to the flowers...

Add some white posca pen to the petals...

Use a distressing tool to get scruffy edges around the panel - gives it an aged feel. Then I glued it onto the card base & cut a length of twine - ravelled it into a circular design and spread it out on the front of the card...

Glue down the daisies and sentiment on top of the twine with a 3D glue gel and you've completed the card.

Creativity journal page

Todays project from me is a journal page.

Below is Step by step images to see how I layer up all the elements...

PRODUCTS USED:

Distress oxide kitsch flamingo

Distress oxide feacock feathers

Cotswold stone ink'able big one

Time measure stamp

Honeycomb multi ink'able

Stitch border stamps

ledger stamp

Coffee stain script ink'able

Creativity words XL

Birds and butterflies stamps/dies

Bee monarchy stamps/dies

Black versafine ink

Black archival ink

Izink ice rose cerise

A4 mixed media journal

Water spritzer

HOW TO MAKE:

Apply both kitsch flamingo and peacock feathers to your page - I don't worry about seamlessly blending as I'll let the water do the work for me...

Mist with water - this will soften the lines and make it appear like more of a natural water colour background...

Once dry, apply Cotswold stone detailing with the peacock feathers oxide...

Then in the Kitsch flamingo oxide stamp out the time measure stamp. I went pretty central then stamped off the left over ink around the page...

Now add some honeycomb multi ink'able details using the same Kitsch flamingo ink. I work in patches of 3 or 5, I keep it odd numbers as it just seems to work better.. 

Next using the ledger and stitch borders stamps, add some more layers and interest to your page. I stamped with black archival ink...

Now for some raised texture - using the coffee stain script ink'able, put texture paste through the script part - again I did 3 sections (odd number) Let it dry...

With a palette knife and a bit of bravery (lol) smear on a blob of izink ice rose cerise - just organically drag the product down the centre of your page - just go for it, it will be fine.. 

Stamp and die cut elements from the birds and butterflies & Bee monarchy sets. Also I used the circle parts from the ledger measure stamp plus the tape measure from stitch borders...

Arrange these elements on your page over top of the izink ice - glue down & add some colour by watercolouring with the same oxides - I just added colour to the wings and circles. I like the tape measure in monochrome. 

That's it...
