Easter Projects ~ No. 6

Hello, hope you are having a lovely Good Friday, we are all being very mellow and lazy here, which is lovely.

My share for you today is another Easter card.

It's a box card and uses both "Easter Blossoms" and "Everybunny" Easter themed stamp sets. 

It's quite easy to make, I cut out a circle in the centre of the "Lucky Limeade" piece, I used this to draw, very lightly in pencil, the circle on the "Whisper White" piece so that I knew where to stamp my main image.

Once all the stamping and colouring was done I scored both pieces of cardstock at 1cm on both ends and stuck them together.

Whilst the two main stamp sets used are themed for Easter, both of these sets have wonderfully images that can be used all year round, I'll be sharing some projects showcasing their versatility over the coming weeks.

Easter Projects ~ No. 5

Hello,

Sorry that I haven't posted the tutorial that I promised a couple of days ago, I've been busy and haven't quite finished taking the photos yet, but I should have that and an Easter Basket tutorial up within the next few days.

Today's post is an Easter card that also showcases the "Faux Mother of Pearl" technique

You can quite see the technique on the card above but if you look at the image below, you will see the shiny 'mother of Pearl' effect that is so gorgeous and so simple to do

Ooo, shiny!

I used "Shimmery White" cardstock, but you can do this effect on "Whisper White" too.    Tools for the job?  Well, apart from the cardstock you need some "Frost White Shimmer Paint", a non-porous surface and an old carrier bag ~ go on, admit it, your intrigued, so if you would like me to demonstrate this technique to you and a group of your friends, why don't you get in contact and arrange a Workshop with me, I promise you, you'll be amased how simple this is and you'll have fun too!


Take care... xx
