'Nature's Creations.'

Hello Lovelies,

Thank you for stopping by my last blog post, hope you enjoyed your visit.   I do hope you are managing to steer clear of these nasty bugs which are doing the rounds.   Tonight I would like to  share another of my cards which was made for the Sue Baker Presents shows on the Create & Craft Channel on the 6th. of December 2019.   This was made using stamps, stencils, rice paper, structure paste, Cadence paints and Artsy stones.

     
Take a section of rice paper, wet it with a paint brush and water and gently tear apart.   On a  six and a half inch piece of white card, paint a section of the card from top to bottom with the Champagne metallic paint.   Using the fabric decoupage glue, fix the rice paper to the square of white card.

    

    
When dry, stamp the 'In a world'......sentiment at the top of the Champagne painted section, using a black ink pad.

Lay the cow parsley design from the stencil onto the card and spread the white structure paste over
the design, using a metal spatula.   Leave to dry.   Lay the spider's web across the top right corner and spread the structure paste through the design and leave to dry.   

        
Add some watered down Champagne paint to the 2 keys in the bottom right corner. 

      
Add some structure paste to the top right corner using a metal spatula and whilst still wet, add some Artsy Stones onto it.   When dry, rub some  Orchid finger wax over the surface of the stones, followed by a little purple Twinkle and Sparkle.    Add some Orchid finger wax to all four edges of this card, to draw the eye to the centre of the card.

     
Fix this card to a 7"x7" white base card.

Colour some spare white card with the copper, sapphire, Iris and Champagne paints.

    
From this Stamp out 1 large dragonfly, 2 butterflies and 3 bees using a Versamark pad and heat embossing with black embossing powder.  
,

    
Cut out and glue these onto the base card using silicone glue.   Stamp 3 ladybirds onto the bottom of the card using a Versamark pad and heat embossing with black powder.   Stamp them again onto some white card using a black Versafine pad.   Cut out the body and head only,  of each ladybird and glue to the original images.   Paint with the blood red paint.

    
Glue the butterflies, bees and dragonfly in position using silicone glue.

      

   
The card is now finished, I do hope you like it.   Have a wonderful weekend and I'll be back soon.   Take care of yourselves until then.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

                                                                  Hugs   Jennifer xx.

Good evening Friends, Followers and Visitors,
Hope you are managing to keep warm during this cold spell of weather.   Thank you for your visits to my last blog post, hope you enjoyed your visit.   Tonight I would like to share a card I made for the 'Sue Baker Presents' shows on the Create & Craft T.V. Channel tomorrow,  Friday  6th. December 2019, launching at 8am.  and again at 2pm.   Hope you can tune in, as this is a stunning collection called 'The Secret Garden.'    I know you will just love this as much as I do,  o.k. here is a sneaky peak of my card, hope you like it.

  
Using a black inkpad, stamp the word 'Believe' in the top left corner of a 7"x7" white base card.

Stamp the sentiment in the bottom right corner.

   

 
Die-cut a 6" circle from brown card and glue to the centre of the base card.   Next die-cut  a five and a half inch circle from white card and colour this with the shabby shutters, peeled paint, fired brick and fossilized amber distress inks, using a blending tool, adding a bit more fired brick around the edge on the top half and a darker green to the bottom half edges.   Matt this onto the brown circle on the white base card.

   
Stamp the deer image onto the coloured circle using a black inkpad.   Take some spare white card and stamp the deer image a further 4 times.   Colour these images using the Cadence dark gold and champagne  Hybrid Metallic paints.   In this photo the deer look as though they are painted with different colours but they are the same, it is the way the light is shining on them.

         
Cut out and 3D the image using silicone glue, then glue the 3D image to the original stamped image on the circle.

      
Stamp the cornflower onto spare white card 4 times using black ink.   Colour these with watered  down  Cadence clover green and ultramarine blue  Hybrid acrylic paints and die-cut them, using the die from the collection.

     

     

    
Arrange the cornflowers around the base of the deer and glue in position.

             

Die-cut 3 bees using the bee die from the collection, then using the bee stamp which matches the bee die-cut, stamp the image on top using a black inkpad.  

    
Colour the bees with yellow and orange fine liner pens.   Colour the wings with well watered down ultramarine blue acrylic paint.   Glue these to the card front.

    

     
That's my card finished, I do hope you like it, I have loved working with this whole collection, especially the deer, as I adore deer........I think that love stems from the film  'Bambi' which I saw many times as a child lol!

Thanks for stopping by my blog, hope you've enjoyed your visit.   Please pop back again, as I will be sharing more of my cards from this collection.

Please remember to tune in to the Create & Craft  T.V. Channel on Friday 6th. December at 8am and 2pm to see demonstrations by our lovely Sue Baker.    Take care of yourselves until my next blog post.

                                                               Love & rainbows,
