Bright Leaves for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on October 9, 2021October 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Mini Catalogue’. My favourite stamp set at the moment is the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves, any one who knows me knows I am a sucker for leaf sets……….don’t know what it is about them, just love leaves.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the bright leaves card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”

I decided on which size circle die I was going to use for my sentiment and where I was going to position the sentiment on the card – then I drew round the inside of the die lightly with a pencil. This means I know where I need to position my images.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous Autumnal Leaves themed card made using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and Intricate Leaves Dies

I arranged the leaves on one of the Very Vanilla panels before adhering them down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I find it really helps to have a dry run first, laying the leaves and branches in position and moving them around until I get the look I am after before committing myself.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous Autumnal Leaves themed card made using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and Intricate Leaves Dies

The decorated layer was then added to the Bumblebee panel with the same liquid glue. I used the same glue to attach the panel to the Soft Suede card base.

Scraps of alcohol inked vellum used to make a pretty double butterfly themed card using the Brilliant Wings dies

Double Butterfly card

Posted on October 1, 2021September 22, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I have made a pretty double butterfly card made using alcohol inked vellum left over from my class projects last month (see the post on the 17^th September 2021).

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the double butterfly card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Daffodil Delight card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Vellum – big enough to die cut your butterflies

I used Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Alcohol Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol

Using a pipette filled with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and smacked it against a Bone Folder to spray small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum. This allows the ink to start spreading. The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol

Using second generation Smoky Slate ink I stamped one of the rectangle images from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set in the centre of the smaller Basic White panel. The dotty image was stamped in full strength Smoky Slate randomly across the stamped rectangle.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol

Taking the dry vellum panel and the Brilliant Wings Dies I die cut 2 butterflies. Vellum can be tricky to die cut with a detailed die and I find placing the die, cutting side up gives me the best cut. I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get out the fiddly pieces.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty double butterfly themed card made using scraps of Vellum which had been inked with alcohol

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Magenta Madness ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Daffodil Delight layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Magenta Madness card front using the same liquid glue.
