Watercolour Whimsy Card

Well hello..

Today I'm sharing another card that I made for Paper Rose Studio.

I had a little play with my alcohol inks that I hardly ever use. 

The colours worked well with one of the sheets of paper in the 

21705 A5 Watercolour Whimsy Paper Collection.

I used white cardstock in between the alcohol inked paper and the watercolour whimsy paper to break the colours up.

Next I die cut out two of the 19166 Rose Bloom Die. I glued the 

diecuts together to give extra thickness and dimension.

The sentiment is from 19023 A5 Black & White Sentiment Sheets

Happy Sunday to you, hope you're having a great weekend. 

I've done something a little different than normal for 

my DT project for Paper Rose Studio. 

I have so many of their stencils, I may be a little bit 

addicted to them!!!

So I thought I'd have a little go at art journalling using 

some of the stencils in my collection.

The first thing I did was colour my pages with Life of Colour 

Paint Stix. I added a little bit of water and blended the colours 

with a tissue. Most people would just use their finger but I'm not

 good at getting my fingers dirty.

The next thing I did was add stencilling all over my page with 

lots of different Paper Rose stencils and different mediums.I have 

used Paper Rose Inks, Colour Blast Colour Pastes and Mont Marte 

Light Moulding Paste. I finished by drawing with White and 

Black Uniball pens to add circles and lines and to trace around 

some of the stencilling.

See below for a list of the Paper Rose stencils and inks I used.

I stamped onto American Deli Paper using Versa Fine Clair pigment 

ink and 17883 Beautiful Mandala Stamp. The stamped images were 

then torn  and stuck to the page using gel medium.

The Paper Rose stencils I used on this page were:

18427 Waves Stencil    

21543 Leafy Circles Stencil

19118 Industrial Circles Stencil     

19121 Industrial Elements Stencil 

18397 Checkerplate Stencil     

19109 Crosses Stencil

18123 Half Tone Stencil    

18885 Mega Spot Stencil

19127 Snake Stencil

The other Paper Rose Products I have used were: 

19619 Outline Alphabet Die

18834 Black Ink Cube

18798 Poppy Ink Cube

18831 Cement Ink Cube

18810 Grass Ink Cube

18801 Tangerine Ink Cube

Stitched Circlet Card

Hello...

Today I'm sharing another card I made for Paper Rose Studio.

Hand stitching ....There is nothing I love to do more when 

relaxing at night in front of the TV. I poke all the holes then 

get myself comfortable and start stitching. I always use DMC thread. 

It comes with six strands but I only ever use three when stitching 

on cards or scrapbooking layouts.

On this card I have used the 16808 Circlet Layered Background 1 die 

to cut out one circlet.  I have glued it to a piece of kraft 

cardstock which is the same size as my card base. Then I 

poked holes as shown above. Hours of stitching in front of the 

TV and a little bit of fussy cutting of flowers, hearts and 

a bird from the 20685 Winter Rose 12x12 Paper Collection 

and the card is nearly done. 

Next I added some gauze and then glued the flowers down. 

The hearts were raised using foam tape. The Happy Birthday 

sentiment was from this same paper collection.

 Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting and stay safe xx
