Today, Tracey takes us beneath the sea with a card featuring our magnificently detailed jellyfish, Jalandhar, which she stamped using Versamark watermark embossing ink.
After sprinkling with white embossing powder, which was set with the heat gun, the lovely, watery, sub-aqua background was made using Mica Minerals, and spritzed with water. The watercolour card reacted wonderfully with the diluted inks to make the perfect backdrop.
Additional watercolour highlighting was done with diluted Dinkles, then a little stencil work followed by Stickles Glitter Glue to complete the picture.
Thanks so much for joining me. Today we are going to create a generic Birthday card with an ink-blended background. Some stencil ghosting and then we are going to add some of our new fabulous Greyboard numbers. Now these can be the person’s age, or year that they were born.
If you need a new home card what about the new house number, just so many possibilities.
We will be adding colour to the Greyboard using the metallic gilding polish.
Our finishing touches will be some white posca splats, so stand back.
I hope our catch-up gives you lots of ideas and gets those crafty juices flowing
Hi everyone, Jo from the design team here again for another Mindful Monday. Thanks so much for popping in, it is always a pleasure to spend time with you, and today we are going to create a gel press print.
First, we will add some elements inks onto the circular gel press to create the background, with a few gentle splashes of water to create an interesting texture in the sky area. Then we will stamp the floral designs direct onto the gel press using Versafine Clair inks. Now we are ready to take a print, this is where things can become unpredictable, yet it’s just the most fun thing to do as the results are always amazing.
Pastel pencils and some Stickles glitter glue are used to add those ever-important finishing touches.
Step 1: I used Powdered Inks to make the background in greens, scarlet, turquoise and yellowrptnb
Step 2: Then I stamped Logan the hare with Versafine Morning Mist.
Step 3: I very lightly painted the hare using White Gesso.
Step 4: Once the Gesso is dry I used a white posca pen, making small light strokes to create fur.
Step 5: I very lightly used watercolour pencils, to shade the paws and around the underneath of Logan's eye.
Step 6: I used a Watercolour Brush and a little water to blend the pencil
Step 7: I used white Gelly Roll pen to add strokes of fine fur around the whole of Logan.
Step 8: I used the Posca Pen and Gelly roll to fill in any gaps to make the fur appear fuller. And then the fuscia intense watercolour pencil for a translucent pink inside Logans ear.
Step 9: Finally, I a Uniball Pen added the details to Logans eyes, to make them stand out
I do hope you’ve enjoyed this Picture tutorial. Happy Crafting!
Having created a stash of colourful backgrounds using the new Dinkles powdered inks, Tracey chooses one to form the basis of this stunning card, featuring our lovely fairy, Mae, who is relaxing on a Lilium plant.
By having a collection of “pre-Dinkled” backgrounds on hand and ready to use, cards like this can be created in minutes just by over stamping with your favourite images and adding the finishing touches with the likes of Posca Pens and Stickles Glitter.
Today Tracey creates a selection of lovely colourful background patterns to introduce the Dinkles, our brand-new range of powdered inks released on Friday, the 26th of May.
These versatile inks come in a range of stunning vivid colours, and because they are water-soluble, can be used in many different ways to produce quick and easy backgrounds for stamping and other craft projects.
