Sneak peek - You've Got This in In Colors 2015-2017

Hello crafters. Happy Bank Holiday Monday.

I'm back with a sneak peek... You've Got This and the 2015-2017 In Colors, namely Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron, Delightful Dijon, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder.  The first two are my favourites, at the moment anyway.  Not long to wait for the launch of the 2015-2016 catalogue.  2nd June is the date for your diary, yay!

I stamped the 'hashed' background on Whisper White card in Mint Macaron and on Very Vanilla card in the Cucumber Crush. The flowers were stamped on water colour paper in Tip Top Taupe and then I used my aqua brush to carefully water colour. I say carefully because of course I would normally use StazOn for stamping when I want to water colour, but I really wanted to keep to the new In Colors.  It was a bit tricky but I managed to get away with it, just :)

For anybody new to the different inks, let me explain... If you intend water colouring then you should use an oil based ink pad, like StazOn, to stamp your image, so that the line art doesn't bleed when you apply your water colour.  And visa versa, use water based ink for stamping when you want to colour in with alcohol pens.

The banners were die cut using one of the many dies from the Mini Treat Bag set. A few gold sequins were added and viola...

Black Magic Serene Silhouettes

Sorry friends, I forgot to post this week's offers yesterday.  I will include them at the bottom of this page - there is also a link above.

So today's card, which by the way is nicer in real life than in the photo, is a version of one I made back in May 2013!  The technique is called 'black magic'.  We made this at my class last night, a new technique for the group and they loved it so I thought I'd share with you.

The image is from Serene Silhouettes stamp set and is stamped with Whisper White Craft Ink on to black card. The ink needs to be completely dry before moving to the next stage.  I used a heat tool to speed up the process.  Next, I coloured in the image using an old, almost dry blender pen and re-inkers in Rose Red and Garden Green. You can also use colouring pencils.  The image was then highlighted with white dots using our White Singo Gel Pen.  Love this technique.

The base card is Blushing Bride, ribbon is Whisper White Satin fed through that beautiful Something Borrowed embellishment, on page 42 of the spring-summer catalogue and only available till 2nd June.  Thank you for visiting x
