Trusty Tools Classes

Posted on February 18, 2024February 9, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Today, I am sharing the cards I designed for my February Trusty Tools classes. Each of the ladies coming to classes were given a 6” by 6” pack of the Trusty Toolbox dsp to use when making the projects. I love giving dsp samples to my class attendees, especially if we use some of the paper in classes. Many of the ladies only craft when they come to class so I like to give them new techniques and things to try.

Colours in these cards are:

This card was inspired by Mel Brown of Inspired Crafts

Thick Basic White card base – 10½” by 4” – scored at 5¾”, 6¾”, 8¾” & 9¾”

Water Coloured Hills of Tuscany for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

Posted on February 3, 2024February 3, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something We have been working on recently. I am loving the Hills of Tuscany stamp set and have used it to make a pretty water coloured card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the water coloured hills of Tuscany card, you will need:

Old Olive card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾”

Fluid 100 card – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 2⅛” by 1”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using a Spritzer, filled with water, I sprayed the piece of Fluid 100 card with enough water to make it wet.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set used with a water colour technique to make a stunning Birthday card for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

The large curved image was inked in Old Olive ink, then lightly spritzed with water before stamping the image at the bottom of the Fluid 100 card. I repeated this step to add more ‘ground’. I also inked up the smaller curved image with the same colour and spritzed it before adding it to the panel to add more texture.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set used with a water colour technique to make a stunning Birthday card for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

The large ‘sky’ image was inked up with Misty Moonlight ink, spritzed then stamped at the top of the wet Fluid 100 paper. At this point I set the panel to one side to dry.

When the panel was dry, I added the more defined ‘ground’ images with Mossy Meadow ink and added the dotty image using the same coloured ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set used with a water colour technique to make a stunning Birthday card for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

The house was stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink and the roof added in Pretty Peacock ink. I used the Black Stampin’ Write Marker to add some definition to the windows. I managed to stamp the roof slightly squint and used a Waterpainter to fill in the gap.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set used with a water colour technique to make a stunning Birthday card for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

The trio of trees were added in Shaded Spruce ink. I used a Waterpainter to smear the ink on the trees – this gives a greater depth of colour. A waterpainter was used to add some Old Olive ink to ‘ground’ the house. When completely dry, the finished piece was glued to the Basic Black panel, then to the 3¾” by 2¾” piece of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set used with a water colour technique to make a stunning Birthday card for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop
