Sweet-Poppy Stencils

 

Weeping Willow  Sweet-Poppy Stencil

 

 

 

Hi -I really love this stencil from Sweet-Poppy Stencils!

A quick card today using the clear paste and then dusting with gold Perfect Pearl to give a rich finish. The trick, I find, is to be very patient and leave  to dry over night after dusting and then use a soft tissue to ensure all excess dust is removed from the tree area. Matt and layering to finish.

Leaf and Raindrops

 

 

Stamp from designs by Ryn

 

Found this dried leaf in a book and decided to try out the Water Droplets set from

 designsbyryn.com

Stamped with Stazon and highlighted with white opal Liquid Pearls  rangerink.com.

Printed this leaf background paper and mounted the leaf onto it. Matt and layered with brown and white to bring it all together.

 

 

Sweet-Poppy Stencil Tree

 

Sweet-Poppy Stencil tree

 

 

the second tree in this set reminds me of a dark wintery night with the wind howling  and snow falling! Hopefully I have captured this by lightly spritzing Cosmic shimmer onto the background. Placed stencil on and used the pearlescent paste.Removed stencil carefully and whilst stll wet tapped a little Perfect Pearls from a stencil brush ( patina green). It's amazing the different effects you can get by using a different colour background. Love these quality stencils

Sweet-Poppy Stencils - weeping willow

 

Weeping Willlow Stencil from Sweet-Poppy Stencils

 

 

This is my first project using a stencil. I used the pearlescent paste to cover the stencil and after removing the stencil and while the paste was still wet used Perfect Pearls  to add the colours. Used a chunky brush dipped into the powders tapped excess off and then tapped over the paste. As the powder takes the moisture from the paste is develops into a lovely sheen. Probably best to leave 'til completely dry before brushing of any remaining powder.

Project from Eileen's Workshop

 

 How busy we were at Eileen's Workshop on Saturday!

 

This tag was made by first distressing the background and then simply stamped my image with  Stazon.The tips of the flowers were highlighted using Ranger Liquid Pearls. Use a corner stamp as a mask and used a green Stickles glue to fill. Again highlighted using Pearls. Finished tag with twine

Again this second tag was made using the distressing technique. Shaded background and then misted lightly with cosmic shimmer. Stamped my gerbera flower and then added embossing powder and heated. Stamped foliage (Sheena Douglass Stamp). Added twine to finish

I used a stamp with a "flat" bottom to sit near the bottom of the card. Dab Distress inks - any colour goes on to your stamp! Spritz lightly with water and stamp to give a water colour effect.You can finish as you like - I just matt and layered,added some twine and a few jewels and that's it.

A really quick and effective card. Hope you like it.

Promarkers and Lavinia Stamps

 Lavinia Stamps and Promarkers

 

 

I used a new embossed paper from Papermill Direct for texture and stamped lots of a Poppy stamp from Lavinia Stamps and using Promarkers of shades of red and deep pink highlighted the flowers.Used a little Stickles glitter on the edges of some of the petals. Stamped the tree trunk and filler stamp from Lavinia using Versamark and then went over the trunk in a light brown Promarker and the filler stamp round the page with a  pale green. Filled  inbetween the poppies with a pale green Promarker and freehand built in the clouds, again with a Promarker.

Twinchies Challenge #4

 

Show us your Twinchie

 

 

 

Had fun with April's Twinchie - didn't realise how many techniques I could use!! So, PanPastelled ( panpastels.com )the background and then masked the peel offs with Pans as well to leave a white area round the petal. Used a tiny leaf corner punch on 3 corners and a Spellbinders spellbinders.com grass die and cut it about (very technical) to fit my 2" x 2" card.  Mounted this onto another card the same size and then filled the leaf gaps with a fabric leaf to add interest. The decoupaged flowers were peel offs stuck onto paper and then "filled with my favourite Ranger Liquid Pearls rangerink.comwith a few more leaves. Oh ~ and then decoupaged a Bee from  laviniastamps.com, coloured him with promarkers promarkers.com and stuck him on a  piece of the loose grass to add dimension.
