Wreath card

I loved creating this card......
 I spritzed, sprayed and dropped lots of ink onto some white card stock, then I stamped the two sizes of holly leaf all over it.
After I cut them all out I fixed them onto my card base in a wreath design.
 I finished my wreath by adding some adhesive stones, bows and a greeting.

I really love working with the Oak House Studio leaves, you get so many in the stamp set.... pop on over to their shop, you find this stamp set here...
The bumper leaf set is also the set that I use to create my poinsettias......

I'd love to see what you create with their inks and stamps, so make sure you share them with us!

Happy crafting

Spritzing

One of my favourite products at the moment are the Do Crafts Artiste Spritzing Inks...... loving them!!!!
They come in a range of colours and are so easy to use.
Here are a few projects that I have made up using them.
 For this one, once I had fixed the ribbons in place I used the end of the spray like a dropper and just dropped some of the ink over the card.
 There are two techniques with this one...... first of all I die cut a parenthesis and lay it on top of my card - then I spritzed over the whole card. While the ink was still wet I removed the parenthesis (and kept it for another project..... Once the card was dry, I spritzed some ink into the corner and then used a straw to blow the ink (just like when you were little and you did it with poster paint)..... this gave me the branch effect....
This one is working on a die cut.... so first of all I spritzed purple, then I did the branch technique (as explained above), then I re spritzed with white - the white is brilliant for star backgrounds.....

The spritzing inks also give life to canvas and flowers. Great for alphabets, borders and embellishments....

I'd love to see what you have done with the links so make sure you leave a link to your spritz projects in the comments here and I'll pop on over and take a look.

Mothers Day Blues

I have been commissioned to make a few Mothers Day cards for people at work so I thought I would play around with some ideas.
This card is using the new range of Parisienne Blue from Do Crafts..... The whole range has a very french feel to it. I think this will be very popular. The stamped little bottle tops have been created using the Madam Payraud typewriter stamps and a medium circle punch.......
When you punch out the circles and then just emboss the edge it looks like a little bottle top - very cute!
I can see me using this technique for lots of things like names etc for mens cards.
 The purple background has been created with the new Do Crafts spritzing ink.


Have a great crafty weekend
Thanks for taking at peek at my latest project.
