6x6 Collection - Floral Wreath

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with the 6x6 Box set and Layered Florals from the original collection.

I have added some Ink Smooshing and then die cut the flowers for a really loose water coloured look

The video will show you how to get the effect and it is really easy to do. 

With Distress Oxides you can deepen the colour to the layers without it going muddy but be sure to dry it between each one.

I hope you enjoy the video and will try Ink Smooshing for your self

More tomorrow ...

Crafti Word - Amazing

Hi Everybody

Today's card is using another of the word dies from Crafti Potential. 

These dies are in two parts and I have cut my base in Vellum for this card,  and each of the letters cut separately. 

They are large enough to make a really neat focal point for your cards.

The word is also in stamp form and for the card to the left I have stamped it onto some patterned paper and then used the die to cut it out. 

 And the accompanying sentiments means you can personalise it to suit the recipient.

I have used items from my own Card Making Magic Collection and the two designs play really well together.

Spellbinders Rosy Summer Flowers

Hi Everybody,

Today's card is using one of the new dies from Spellbinders and this one is called Rosy Summer Flowers from the Good Vibes Collection by Stephanie Low

For the background I have blended three different shades of green and then stencilled over the top with white ink.

This gives a really cool and subtle look to the card and makes the white of the flowers stand out more.

It was a really quick and simple card to make and the black sentiment adds drama to the front. 

I added the long stamped sentiment underneath with foam tape and that is from the Crafti Potential Words dies
