Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing the frosted forest Autumnal swaps I designed for our recent training session in Lincoln.

Colours in these cards are:

 

To recreate the frosted forest Autumnal swaps, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅞” by 2”
Pecan Pie card – 5⅞” by ⅛”

I embossed the panel of Cherry Cobbler card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders selection. This was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

The thin strip of Pecan Pie card was then glued in place butted up against the embossed panel.

With the 3rd mask, I started by adding Copper Enamel Effects using a Palette Knife. I absolutely loved the effect but doing more than 2 or 3 at a time became a pain as the enamel effects started to dry on the mask and became more difficult to clean. So, after a bit of thought I switched plans and started adding Versamark ink with a sponge dauber. I removed the mask, covered the image with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it.

Birthday Butterflies card

Hello and welcome to the Birthday Wishes Blog Hop where we are sharing……….surprise, surprise…… birthday cards. I have used the pretty Sketched Butterflies stamp set and dies to make a sweet birthday card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the birthday butterflies card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pretty Peacock card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

 

Using Pretty Peacock ink, I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. The stamped layer was then glued to the Pretty Peacock panel and then to the Pool Party card front.

The large butterfly and two of the smaller butterflies were stamped on scrap Basic White card in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The butterflies were then die cut using the Sketched Butterflies Dies.

The large butterfly was coloured using the Pool Party and Pretty Peacock Blend Pens.

I used the Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather Blends Pends to colour both of the smaller butterflies. The bodies of all the butterflies were coloured with a Gray Granite Blends Pen.

I shaped the butterflies wings with my Bone Folder and laid them in position on the card front. Using the ‘dotty image’ from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and Pool Party ink, I added some dotty texture under the small butterflies. All three butterflies were then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
