Sweet Poppy Stencil



 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Morning All. My last card to blog before Christmas is another stencil by Sweet Poppy Stencils.

I thought I would make it light and fresh ( Spring around the corner!!) and used a yellow jelly roll pen for the flowers and Distress pen for the leaves. White glossy paste  and patience to let it dry before matt and layering onto 2 Spellbinders cut diesin white card. Thought the navy background made it pop from the card.

Heartfelt Creations Stamp

One of my recently acquired stamps from Heartfelt Creation is the basis of my card today 

 

Stamped image and coloured flowers with various Jelly Roll Pens. Used Vintage Photo Distress ink to go lightly over the door. Used a Spellbinders 5 x 7 card creator Die to cut out frame and inked and added copper Stickles. Matt and layered with black card just inside Die cut image and a subtle glitter card under before mounting onto a card base.

Sweet Poppy Stencils

 

My 2 cards today uses a  Sweet Poppy Stencil coloured through with Pen Touch and Distress Pens. Left to dry and then stencilled with translucent paste. Carefully removed stencil and then covered , whilst wet with clear micro beads. Left them without having a " I'll see if it's dry" dab , overnight to fully dry.

** The card on the left has been distressed lightly with Vintage Photo DI, edged with a memento green and then matt and layered with some ribbon.

** the second card has a bit more technique.  I cut a second piece of card with a  1"  border all round. Put a small bit of double sided tape to hold the top layer to the bottom and then stamp with a Lavinia Stamp to cross both pieces of card. Took top piece off bottom and distressed around the edges.  Used a score board to make a  detail line  around each piece .Matt and layered each piece onto black card. The stencilled piece is mounted using foam pads to lift. Ribbon knot to finish.

Sweet Poppy Stencil and Pan Pastels

 

 

My card today is on linen effect card and uses PanPastels and a Sweet Poppy Stencil

 

I actually worked a bit back to front with this card! Stencilled through with Pans and then used a Iridescent paste thought the stencil. Left to dry to see what colour came through the paste. It was a very subtle colouring on drying  so I thought I would build the background around the shading I achieved and left the centre lightness around the houses and worked out to be darker. Buffed up stencilling with a soft cloth.

Put highlights of Liquid pearls to finish

Pan Pastels with a medium

PanPastels with Maimeri Iridescent paste

 



I used Pans to create the background , shading from light to heavy purple using Pans. I then covered with the Maimeri Iridescent Paste - tried to get an even covering first go so as not to disturb the Pans. I then used a piece of bubble wrap to push into the paste to give texture to the background. Left to dry overnight, then cut into 3 panels. I embossed a frame around each panel. Mounted onto silver  Centura Pearl card and then pick out the leaf colour for the  card base. Added flowers and leaves made from a Heartfelt Creations Die and a butterfly from a die in my collection. Added Liquid pearls to add further detail onto the flowers

Christmas Card

Christmas Card

 

Into finishing my Christmas Cards soon, so I thought I would share this card I have made. Backing paper from my stash, Spellbinders Poinsettia Die Set and an Ivy flourish from Tattered Lace and Yellow Ranger Stickles is all you need for this card. I used some textured card I found in my stash for the poinsettia and added the Stickles for the stamens. Gold card for the ivy flourish and that's it!

Rosette Christmas Tree Decoration

 

 

This table decoration turned out to be labour of love as I threaded all the beads myself. For every one that went on the thread about 3 bounced onto the floor!!

The concept is quite basic in that the centre upright is a covered straw and a number of rosettes are added.. Each rosette has circle of covered card to support it and are pushed onto the straw. Heat glue gun recommended for strength. Embellishments added - I chose beads to loop round and a pearl to finish. The top decoration is 2 "Bling Dazzles " glued back to back with beads round the " join".

I used Kraft style wrapping paper. About 135gsm. Card would, I think be too thick for creasing.

The tree could be made even simpler by stacking the rosettes on top of each other or a smaller gap left between each layer. I am sure you  will think of different styles.
