Wetlands returned

Yes I'm back with another Wetlands card, I do like this stamp set and it's great for male themed cards, which, lets face it, we don't see much of.

So here's today's card;

You will need;
Early espresso card and Ink
Whisper white card
Soft Sky ink
Pumpkin pie Ink
Pear Pizzaz ink
Early espresso stampin write marker
Circle framelets
Wetlands Stamp set

Start with a 6 x 6 card base in Early Espresso, cut two pieces of whisper white card 5 3/4" square

Add one of these squares to the inside of your base card

Using a piece of scrap card cut out a circle using the circle framelets, I used the 6th one from the middle

Using the frame you just cut, place this about midway on your other square of whisper white card and sponge on Pumpkin Pie ink.

You should end up with a 'sun' on your paper

Rip another piece of spare card so that it looks like 'hills' and place at the bottom of your card to act as a mask.  Place the circle you cut out earlier over your 'sun' as a mask and ink in sift sky.

Carefully ink your 'hills in pear pizzaz

Stamp out the bird image from the Wetlands set in Early Espresso ink. Colour using an Early Espresso stampin write marker.

Stamp out some reeds along your 'hills' in Early Espresso ink.

Add a sentiment from the Wetlands set to the top left hand corner of your image.

Now add this to your base card.

Wetlands Reflection Technique

Just a short post today. As promised from yesterday here is the reflection technique using the wetlands stamp set

As you can see this is a much bigger card, 6 x 6 in fact but you do this the same was as the Lovely as a tree design.  Just in case you didn't see it yesterday here's the link to the video that explains how to achieve it.

Happy crafting

Reflection Technique

I was originally going to write you out a tutorial for this card which featured a stamp from the Wetlands set, but a friend pointed me towards a fab youtube tutorial using the lovely as a tree stamp set, which was a lot easier to line up than my Wetlands card was.  So I'll show you the Wetlands card tomorrow and instead here's my lovely as a tree card.

It's very easy to do so don't be put off.  I've used slightly different colours to the lovely lady in the video, my colours are; Early Espresso, Pear Pizzaz and Soft Sky.  I've also used four soft sky candy dot brads down the side as you can see.  Here is the video tutorial.

Come back tomorrow to see the Wetlands card I made.

Happy Crafting

Heart Felt Banner

Today I'm going to share with you a banner I made which is FREE from stampin up, Yes FREE!!!  You can get this kit free when you make an order of at least £45!

So here it is

Isn't it just cute?!?! There are some extra bits in the kit like paper doilies, little wooden pegs and some paper banners (the ones I've used are cloth)

Heres a closer look

I first stamped the background with the en francias stamp in basic grey, I then inked the edges in Coastal Cabana, I then stamped flowers from the flower shop stamp set in Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz

This one uses the butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri set

These two use the butterflies and hearts from Hearts a Flutter

Happy Crafting
