Art card with Zig pens and My Favorite Things

Hi everyone, it's Esther here with an art card inspired by the gorgeous coloured lines on this beautiful heart by the talented Kassa Heyselden.

I started with a plain rectangle of card stock and used four colours of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pen (034 Dull Blue, 082 Purple, 084 Deep Violet, and 092 Blue Gray) to add stripes, softening them with a water brush as I went. When I was finished, I spritzed the card with water and let the colour trickle down a bit more.

Using the medium size My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle Word Window Dienamics, I cut away an aperture. A sentiment from Altenew Beautiful Quotes shows through.

Finally, I added three hearts from My Favorite Things I'm Owl Yours Dienamics, mounted the panel onto a coordinating purple layer and attached the whole to a top folding card base.

That's it from me for this week. Thanks for stopping by!

      

Altenew Extra Special floral card

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good week. It's Esther here with a floral card using Altenew Extra Special. This is a lovely set that has a slightly vintage feel in the thick, sketched lines of the leaves and stems. The main image is a gorgeous floral spray, but I wanted to use it as a frame round a card rather than showing all of it.

I stamped the floral spray repeatedly round the edges of a panel, then watercoloured it using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in 036 Light Blue, 041 Light Green, 047 May Green, 050 Yellow, 051 Lemon Yellow, 081 Light Violet, and 082 Purple.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment from Altenew Beautiful Quotes, and mounted the panel onto a top folding card base.

That's it from me for this week. Thanks for visiting!

    

Stamped Sprays and Goodbye For Now

Hi there everyone and happy Thursday! It's a bittersweet post from me today as this will be my last a a DT member here, but don't worry I'll still be around.

So onto my card. Did you see that Tara just got in the new Altenew Shimmer Sprays? I really do like them and you can stamp with them too!

 

To stamp with the inks I took a dry baby wipe (just one I had left out for a little while). I folded in half and then sprayed some of the shimmer mists onto it, this will create kind of a DIY ink pad. I used Forest Glades, Ocean Waves and Lavender Fields sprays, I sprayed them next to each other on the dry wet wipe so I could create an ombre look on my stamped images.

I then inked up the images from Altenew 'Happy Dreams' using the DIY dry wet wipe ink/spray pad. I stamped the leafy vine images a number of times before setting them aside to dry. Once dry I then cut the pieces out using the coordinating dies. 

I arranged the vine pieces into a wreath shape and adhered some flat and the top ones with foam pads to add some depth.

To finish I added a twine bow and a sentiment from Altenew 'Beautiful Quotes'.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope I've inspired to use you sprays in different ways!

I bid you farewell but I don't believe this will be the last time I see you around here :)

Hugs, Lydia xxx
