Playtime

So whilst the girls were having their bath I had a play again with inks, mists and masks ...

For this card I used a mask from a Tattered Angels Blossom set. I inked the cardstock in marigold DI and then placed the mask across.  I then inked over in rusty hinge, honey and vintage photo.  When it was all dry I spritzed over with frost glimmer mist.  Finally I stamped the sentiment.

And this ongoing ... I had an idea to use one of my MS punches to create a mask.  Having punched the mask, i inked over it using Victorian Velvet DI and then spritzed over it with gold glimmer mist. I used a scrap piece of card and swiped it with the DI and then mopped up the waste glimmer mist onto it ... dried and cut a TH tatter flower out.  Just pondering if its a centre flowe, off the edge, needs a stmping/embossing ... just needs a something to finish it off!

WOYWW

Its Wednesday and time for a snoop round the crafting blogs led by Julia.

And here's my hive a mess and creativity ...

 I started playing yesterday afternoon, using a TH tattered flower die cut I had spare, and just paper clipped it to a piece of cardstock I had sprayed with gold glimmer mist.  I then sprayed over at an angle Santa Baby and Tattered leather mists and left to dry ... yep no heat gun!!
So we move on several hours ...

 One dried homemade paper, and one made using the resist technique.  I thought I would have a go at seeing if I could use masks as the base ... sort of worked ... need a bit of practise on that!!

 And as I loved my flower paper so much ... .I did it again using purple and blue mists ...

 and then added glitter glaze to the masked area, and glitter glam to the flower that was the mask, put it on pads and popped it on the cardstock ... liking! 

Need to play more!!

Christmas is coming ...

I've been getting all inky again!!! And playing!!

For this Christmas card, I used stormy skies, faded jeans and chipped sapphire DIs to created the night sky (using a punched circle to mask off the moon), and after drying, spritzed some pearl glimmer mists over it.  I stamped the Inkylicious silhouette town and santa out using versafine ink.

I used an Inkylicious tag and smeared it with iced spruce and evergreen bough DIs, before misting with dewdrop glimmer mist.  I debossed the tag using the CB large snowflake cut and emboss set and then covered the tag in rock candy crackle paint, scrapping off the excess so there was only paint in the debossed sections.  I added a snowflake  made the same way as the tag base, and added a snowflake cut using a Spellbinder's die.  Finally some ribbon.

A Couple of Snowflakes

I am still playing while making my Christmas cards .. not really getting the numbers made, but enjoying myself!!

 I used the card left from cutting a Spellbinders Snowflake out, and stained it using vintage photo DI and then gave it a good sprtizing with walnut gold glimmer mist.  Being impatient I took my heat gun to it and dried it off.  The background is created by stamping snowflakes in versamark onto glassen paper and then brushing perfect pearls over the top, before heat setting.  Finally the small snowflake is glimmered using gold perfect pearls in a bit of water in a mini mister.

For this card I used a Tatter Angels snowflake mask and tacked it to the white card base, before layering up dew drop, frost and artic blue glimmer mists.  The snowflake is the die I cut from the previous card, and the centre snowflake is spritzed, well actually soaked(!!) in arctic blue glimmer mist ... teach me for allowing a 5 year old to help ... there was a point when I thought the whole craft room could be sheeny, sparkly blue!!!!


So that was my playing around to find some cards to make ... more playing to do!!
