Colourcraft Guest Designer Galaxy Effect Card

Hello all

I am guest designer today and i am going to show you how to make a space themed card.

Start off by mixing a bit of Black Brusho Powder in with water. Then take a makeup sponge and dab it onto a card blank. Leave white spaces so that you can add other colours later.

Next take Turquoise, Purple and Crimson Red Brusho powders and sprinkle them on. wet with water so they spread out. Dry off with a heat gun on a low setting so you don't blow the ink off the card.

i discovered that the SprinkleIt powders create this milky way sort of effect when sprinkled onto a dark background so sprinkle away until you have this dense night sky look. Add it while the ink is wet so it stays put. You can get this fabulous stuff here  and the brusho powders are here.

Next add a stencil over the card.

I used a tiny splatter one but it started to come out chunky so i then took a paint brush and flicked on some white paint. mix the paint with water to get a fine spray.

Lastly i coloured in the stamps with markers and glued them onto the card along with a sentiment.

How To Create Romantic Wedding Cards Using Hearty Doodles

Hello crafty friends

My mum Janet Lamb will be appearing as a guest designer on my blog now and again. This month she has been making wedding themed stationary using my Hearty Doodles Stamps set.

http://sincitystamps.com/hearty-doodles-art-rubber-stamp-set-designed-by-katie-lamb-scklb0001/

Take a card blank and cover a 3rd of the card with patterned paper and  dab ink over the rest of the card. Stamp out the hearts onto textured card stock and glue them onto the card with the largest heart in the center and then the other hearts along the side going from largest to smallest.

Stamp out the tag from the SinCity Stamps Wings set onto card and cut out. Next stamp the matching sentiment onto the tag.

Wrap matching twine around the card and leave the bit at the end longer so that you can tie the tag onto the card. Add a little heart to the edge to finish the look.

Finish card by adding pearls to the hearts

Hi all

I am back with a fun set of ATCs for you using Gummiapan products from Swedish House Crafts. Learn how to create these below. My readers will get 5 % off their shop order by using the code  KATIESAID5OFF it is active for 5 days from the date of this post.

1) Use Metallic Lustre and paint onto a blank ATC.

2) Using the circle numbers stamp, Stamp out three lots down the ATC.

3) Apply a stencil mask using modeling paste and once dry, paint over with metallic lustre. 

4)  Die-cut the linked stars out of white card and adhere to ATC.

5) Finish off by stamping out a sentiment and cutting it out. I cut the words up to reduce white space and fit them on the ATC better.

1) Use metallic lustre and blend two colours together using a make up sponge.

2) Use the Check texture stamp around the edge of the ATC

3) To create a ghost image stamp onto the centre of the ATC and then add gesso over the top. 

4) Add a little blue paint and then stamp sentiment over the top again.

5) Die-cut the doodle circle from card and stamp over with the number circle stamp. Then paint with metallic lustre.

6) Apply a stencil with texture paste and then dry brush over the top with blue metallic lustre.

7) Finish with a pink ribbon rose

1) Die-cut the Intergrated Stars out of white card but cut out the negative part.

2) Place the negative onto the ATC blank and use the Numbered Circle stamp over the top. Draw around the negative like a stencil to get more defined edges.

3) Stamp the remaining ink off of the Numbered Circle stamp and onto the ATC background.

 4)Paint blue metallic lustre around the stars.

5) Apply a stencil around the edges

6) Add a sentiment to the centre
