Graduation Time

General cards3 Comments

Recently our Daughter graduated from University with a Bachelor of Dance Studies!  I dont CASE very often but saw this idea on pinterest and just had to make this card for our Daughter.

I used the Beautiful You stamp set (143637) of which I stamped twice..one for the background and coloured in the legs and ground and the second for the gown/body and hands.

I snipped off the hat and coloured it with my Bermuda Bay Blendie to make the hood of the gown.

The second image I coloured with my BB Blendie around the edges and used a sharpie marker to colour in the image (our Basic Black marker would do the same thing..it was just what was on my table at the time!)

The hat was just a square of black cardstock. The scroll was a small piece of whisper white that I rolled up. I used some BB striped chevron ribbon to make the tassle (pulled it apart) and adhered with a glue dot. I added another dot of black over the top of it to cover the edges.

The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases (141534) and Jennifer..the new Make a Difference stamp set (146676-$57) ..which you can order this month with the Share what you Love promotion.

31914057_10156387187354553_4856405545487171584_n..Yes yes I know I’ve been neglecting my blog lately but in my defense..I’ve had technical issues (and now got a new phone/camera) ..and I’ve been working 6 days a week in a temporary job (our 5 yearly Census..now finished!)

But just because I haven’t been blogging..doesn’t mean I haven’t been creating!

I’ve been scrapbooking up a storm lately ..especially with the Share What you Love suite. Which, is a early release promotion for this month of May!

You can check out this promotion at the end of this post.

Yosemite Layout

ScrapbookingWrite a comment

This is my favourite photo of Yosemite National Park. I’m still pinching myself that I got to see the amazing scenery on my US trip in November!

Coming from New Zealand, we have beautiful scenery of our own but Yosemite and the Grand Canyon were highlights of my trip!

This Layout was for my February class along with my previous post a few days. Technique was brusho and embossing paste.

I like to have a more involved Layout and a simple one.

The flower is fussy cut out of the Petal Passion DSP and altered with Brusho. The other stamps I used were Waterfront, Friendships Sweetest thoughts (OC) and Banners For You and Labeler Alphabet (AC)

I used a stencil/mask (brick wall one out of the Pattern party masks) with brusho to ‘stamp’ onto the Crumb Cake CS. The other mask I used for the shimmery white Embossing paste. The embossed piece was wet with brusho when I embossed it through the Big Shot and then dried.

I used the Layered Circle dies to tie it all in ..along with some black bakers twine.

The cute embroidery hoops were altered with brusho too!

Happy Stamping!

 

Dripping with Brusho!

General cards3 Comments

I recently taught at my wider teams stamp camp this past weekend and I have lots to show you what I have been up to with Brusho!

Today I’m showing you my Brusho dripping technique and with the addition of Embossing paste over the top. I found that, if you just blot the brusho and use the embossing paste over the top, the colour comes through the embossing paste!

For my make n take (50 plus) I made a Layout. I knew that lots in this group werent scrapbookers so I made a card to show that this technique could be used as a card technique as well.

Here is the original LO. I used Camboge, Yellow and Brilliant red. This is a super easy technique..you just add the crystals to the top of the page..spritz with water and let it run down the page (hold the page vertical). Then, when you are satisfied with the look, blot with a paper towel and then add your mask and embossing paste. (I used Shimmery white)

The flowers were stamped with Amazing You (SAB) and fussy cut out and I used brusho to colour. The diecuts are from the Celebrate You thinlits and the Petals and More thinlits. A few sequins to finish off of course!

Mobile Image_3

Not everyone is into flowers so I did a second Layout using the Prussian blue and yellow Brusho and turned it on the side.  I used just the white embossing paste for this one but still used the sequins.

Finally, here is the card I made for those who wanted to do a card instead. I made this card as my swap so thanks Helen for taking a photo of it as I forgot to do so before handing them all out lol.

I used Lots to Love box framelits for this card and the Happy Birthday is from the We Must Celebrate stamp set.

Check back in a couple of days as I have a new technique to show!

Happy Stamping!
