Autumnal Colours - Crafting Musketeers Challenge #29

 

Hi Everyone

Are you up for another crafty challenge from the Crafting Musketeers?  I hope so as Autumn is here (or should I say Winter as it’s freezing in my gaff…lol)

This is a great challenge and we have a wonderful sponsor for this month the  fabulous Oak House Studio .

Here is a little bit about them.

Oak House Studio is a company based on one woman's passion and the people who share that passion.

Lynnda Worsnop has produced a number of stamp designs based on her drawings. We also use some stamp designs by Elaine Kettle and others. These designs are laser cut into a strong rubber-like polymer that makes them ideal for a range of crafts. Lynnda works with others to constantly increase the number of products that Oak House Studio brings along for you to use.

“Our designs have been featured on Create and Craft TV. This gave Lynnda the opportunity to demonstrate the products to a wider audience.

At Oak House Studio we supply products for crafters of all kinds. We are passionate about designing and producing the tools that allow you to be creative in the way you want to be. We look for versatility and usability”.

Here is MJ’s Autumnal Colours inspiration for you. 

She has used all different tree stamps with inks and embossing powders to create the scene.  A handful of die cuts to decorate together with a sentiment.  An easy card full of rich autumn hues.

We hope you like it.

Inky Doodle Stamps, Distress Ink Markers and White Embossing Powder–Butterflies Card

Hi Everyone


MJ has been having a quick play with the new Inky Doodle stamps that arrived in store yesterday. She just couldn’t resist taking a set home to play with!


She’s kept it nice, simple and clean using vellum, white embossing powder, Distress Ink Markers and Kraft card.

 

What MJ did: -

1. First cut a piece of vellum measuring 5 3/8” x 7 3/4”.  Then using the floral border in the ‘Happiness Is’'…’ stamp set and Versamark Ink stamp at top and bottom edge of vellum.  Add white embossing powder and ‘cook’ with heat tool.
2. Next take the large butterfly stamp and stamp above bottom border with Versamark, add white powder and heat.  Repeat process for wording stamp.
3. Stamp a large butterfly and a small butterfly onto vellum with Versamark and once again using the white powder, heat.
4. Take the Distress Ink Markers (here MJ used Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet) and colour all butterfly images from the reverse.  Leave to dry.
5. Taking the large and small butterfly images use an embossing tool gently from reverse to add the white shading.  Then cut these 2 images out.
6. Fold an A4 piece of Kraft card in half to form your card blank.  Using Crafters Companion Stick and Stay (Red Can) cover the reverse side of the stamped vellum piece and stick to front of card.
7. Shape the wings of the butterflies and then use 3D foam pads/glue gel to adhere to the front of the card.
8. If you wanted to you could colour behind the border too to add more colour. 
9. Decorate to suit.
