Lavinia Zen Tree Stamp, Light Modelling Paste and Kroma Crackle

 

Hi Everyone

MJ thought she was being really lazy and not posting something!…lol

So she decided to do a really quick and easy project for you using one of her favourite Lavinia Stamps – the Zen Tree.

 

What MJ Did

1. Take a card tag or similar and apply a very light scraping of light modelling paste.  Try not to cover the entire tag evenly as you want it to get some uneven texture.
2. Dry the paste with a heat tool.
3. Next take the Kroma Crackle and spread it thinly but evenly across the entire tag and dry as before.  The Krackle will turn white as it is drying.
4. Once dried completely use Archival inks in Potting Soil, Cornflower Blue, Red Geranium to add colour to the background and then Orange Blossom over all the colours to blend.  Dry.
5. Using Black Archival ink stamp the Lavinia ‘Zen Tree’ design centrally on tag base.  Dry.
6. Then add colour with pens (MJ used Spectrum Noir carefully so that she did not run into the Black Archival).
7. With a White Pen-Touch pen (0.7mm) add dot highlights on stamped image.
8. Finally using the Red Geranium ink go around the edges to finish.

Tonic ‘Butterfly Princess’ by Guest Designer Chris DH

Hi Everyone

Today we have a gorgeous card made for you by our Guest Designer Chris.  She loves to play with dies and loves her PanPastels to colour with.

Chris has done a great tutorial for you so that you can play along too.

 

1. Card size used 6" x 6".
2. Tonic Butterfly Princess cut out of white card.
3. Out of blue pearlised cardstock cut out 5 and a quarter plain circle from Spellbinders Grand Circles.
4. Attach this to back of Butterfly Princess and affix both to card front.
5. Again using blue pearlised cardstock, cut out greeting base from Spellbinders Floral Ovals, using 'waste' stars for necklace.
6. Attach greeting, cut using Cheery Lynn word die, to base and fix on card.
7. Add four corners die-cut from Cheery Lynn corner set.
8. To complete, add ribbon bow and blue pearls.
   

A card which can be made quite quickly and of course changed to whatever colour suits.

I think you will agree that this is a beautiful card and that Chris has done a fab job!

Thank you Chris for letting us share this today.

We hope you have been inspired.
