'One Moonlit Night.'

Hi there Lovelies,

A big change in the weather lol!  but the gardens definitely needed that rain as they were very dry.  Thank you all for your visits and lovely comments as always.   I appreciate each visit and comment. 

Today I would like to share another card made using the products from Imagination Craft's 'Warrior Women' collection, along with some Cadence products too and was made for Imagination's show on the Create & Craft T.V. Channel earlier this month.

Take a piece of white card cut slightly smaller than the 8"x 8" white base card you will be using.   Cut out the section of the rice paper with the woman and her animals on, cutting it slightly larger than the piece of white card you have just cut.

Cover the piece of white card with the rice paper, using the Cadence decoupage glue, bending the extra paper to the back of the card and securing with the glue. 

Lay the moon image from the stencil onto a small piece of black card and using a metal spatula, spread the platinum relief paste through the design.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

When dry, cut out the moon leaving a tiny  border of black card around it.   Lay the text from the stencil onto the left side of the rice paper and using a spatula, spread the platinum relief paste through the design.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

 Using a black Versafine ink pad, stamp the woman and animals onto some spare white card four times and heat emboss with clear powder.

Cut them out and 3D the characters using silicone glue.

Glue the characters to the right-hand side of the rice paper using silicone glue or sticky foam pads.   Glue the moon image to the top left of the centre.   

Fix the rice paper to an 8" x 8"  white card and the card is finished.

The photo below is taken at an angle to show the dimension of the card.

Well, that is all from me for the moment but I will be back fairly soon with yet another card, made using this collection.   Take care my friends, stay safe and happy crafting.

'Crystal Ball Gazing.'

 Hi there Lovelies,

Hope all is well with you and you are safe and well.    Thank you once again for your visits and lovely comments on my last blog post.    

Tonight I have another card to share with you which was made for Imagination Craft's T.V. show on the Create & Craft Channel on the 19th. July.   This was made using Imagination's fabulous new collection  'Warrior Women,'    I do hope you like it.   I thoroughly enjoyed making this card, it was an excuse to use some of bright colours lol!   These metallic paints really sparkle when the light catches them.

Begin by cutting a 7" square of white card.   Cut out the section from the rice paper with the crystal ball on it, cutting it slightly larger than the 7" square white card.      Fix the rice paper to the white card using the decoupage glue,   bending  the extra rice paper to the back of the card and securing with the glue.   

Cut a seven and a half inch square from white card and paint all the four outer edges (no need to paint the whole card, as only the edges will be seen).   Use all four of the Cadence Metallic Paints - Red 215.  Turquoise 214,  Gold 200 & Dark Blue 222.    Add the gold to all four corners, then the red, dark blue and the turquoise,  continue until all edges are painted.    I guess you spotted the deliberate mistake lol!   yes I missed adding the red paint to the bottom edge of the card below.   The pigment in these paints are quite  strong, so I decided to try and cover some of the dark blue paint with a little of the red......and it worked lol!   panic over!    on with the rest of the card...phew!

Matt this onto an 8" white base card.   

Lay the moon and stars from the stencil onto the rice paper background card and spread  some Dora Perla Gold relief paste over them, using a metal spatula, adding them to the crystal ball image.   Add a group of stars from the stencil to the top left of the background in the same way.   Remove the stencil and wash it and leave the images to dry.

Roughly cut out three butterflies and the open book from the second sheet of the same design rice paper and glue to some spare white card using decoupage glue.

 

When dry, cut them out and shape the wings and book pages with your fingers, then fix them to the original images on the background rice paper, adding some silicone glue under the wings and the book pages.

Add some watered down rich gold Dora Metallic paint to the edges of the book pages.

The card is now finished.   Thanks for visiting my blog and if you have left me a comment - thank you, all comments are appreciated.   Stay safe and well and I will be back again with another card, made using this fabulous 'Warrior Women' collection.

Chariot of Fire.

 Good evening Lovelies,

hope you have enjoyed yet another glorious sunny day, a little too hot for me lol!   I do hope you were able to tune in to Create & Craft  at lunchtime yet another fabulous collection from Imagination Crafts - 'Warrior Women,'   plus some great new products from Cadence, launched by our lovely Mandy.

Tonight I would like to share one of my cards made for the show.   Hope you like it.

.

Cut a piece of white card 8" x 8" that will fit onto the front face of an 8" x 8" white base card.   Paint this with the Cadence Antique white Hybrid acrylic paint.

Mix some Delano and Antique white acrylic paints together and using a stencil brush, dab this on top of the Antique white and leave to dry.   This gives my card a look of marble, well that was the intention lol!

 Lay the text from the stencil onto the painted card at the top of the card in the centre and secure with low tack tape.   Using a piece of foam , dab some Versafine black ink through the design.  

Repeat this on the bottom left and again on the bottom right.

Add some black ink to the top left and right by  laying a piece of spare paper onto the card and rubbing the ink from the paper onto the painted card, blending the ink out as you go.   Repeat this on the bottom of the card in the centre.

Cut a piece of black card to fit across the painted card and lay the horses and the chariot from the stencil onto this black card.   Using a metal spatula, spread the' Cadence Texture Relief paste - Thin,' over the horses and chariot.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.   When dry, lay the text from the stencil onto the top right corner of the black card and using the metal spatula, spread the' Cadence Dora gold Relief paste'  over it.   Remove the stencil and leave image to dry.

 

Fix this across the centre of the painted card, then fix this to the white 8" x 8" base card.

Lay the dagger and sword designs from the stencil onto some spare black card and spread the Dora Perla gold relief paste through the designs.   Remove the stencil and leave them to dry.   Repeat this twice more, so you have 3 daggers and 3 swords.   

Cut these out and glue them to the front of the base card.

Well that's this card finished.   I will be back with another card, made using this fabulous collection.    In the meantime, stay safe and  happy crafting.   Catch you all again soon

                                                                Love and rainbows,

'A Little Bit of Sparkle for a Special Day.'

 Hello Everyone,

Hoping you are all enjoying this gorgeous summer weather, the plants are definitely liking it, they're blooming away beautifully but so are the weeds unfortunately lol!   Tonight I would like to share another of my cards made in July 2020 for a T.V.show for Imagination Craft's.      I have used  their Carnation Panel Stencil from the 'Tumbling Blossoms' stencil set and some Sparkle & Twinkle.

Matt and layer a piece of light green card  onto an 8" x 8" ivory base card, cut approximately a quarter of an inch smaller than the base card.

Lay the carnation panel stencil onto a piece of pink pearl card.   Using a metal spatula, spread the gold Sparkle & Twinkle through the flower heads only, on the stencil.   Spread the sage green Sparkle &  Twinkle  through the leaves and stem of the flowers.   Trim this to fit on the left-hand side of the green matt.  

Take another piece of pink card and stamp the sentiment onto it, using a black ink pad - 'May your....'

 Take another  piece of the pink card  and lay the smaller  carnation head from the stencil onto it, then spread the gold  S & T  over the flower head and the green over the leaves and stem.   Put these to one side for the moment.

Next, lay the tumbling leaves panel stencil down the green matt, adding some white paper each side of the stencil, so no S & T goes onto the rest of the card, .then spread the sage green Sparkle & Twinkle over the stencil using the metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and and paper then leave the image to dry.

Now to put the card together.

Glue the larger flower panel down the left-hand edge of the green matt and the sentiment and smaller flower head, down the right-hand side, making sure the top and bottom edges all line up.

Glue a wine coloured organza ribbon bow between the two smaller panels.   

Imagination Craft's will be launching another fabulous new collection on the Create & Craft T.V. Channel on Monday coming.... the 19th. July at 12.45pm   I do hope you can tune in.   I will be posting a card, made using this new collection, very soon so please watch this space lol!   Take care of yourselves and above all....stay safe.   Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your lovely comments and your visits,  each and every one appreciated.
