Neat & Tangled Later Alligator set and simple watercolouring.

Hello everyone!

 I'm back with another card. Today's project features Neat & Tangled Later Alligator stamp set along with simple watercolouring and ink blending.

I started with stamping all chosen images on to piece of watercolour paper with waterproof black ink. After watercolouring, I fussy cut everything out and left on the side, while working on the background.

I decided to do simple ink blending on my background, using distress oxide ink and a blending tool. I masked off the top part of card panel with a piece of masking paper as I didn't want any unnecessary ink going there. I chose to leave the top portion of my card white, to give watercoloured images more attention. I also added water splatters.

 

Before attaching anything, I arranged my little scene to make sure that I was happy with the results.  

I used foam squares to adhere all the images ( except the banner, where I used liquid glue ).
My last step was to stamps the sentiment from the same Later Alligator set with black ink and add a few blue and gold sequins.
I adhered the whole card panel to the slightly larger card base with crafts foam and double-sided tape.

That's all for this project! Thank you for stopping by.

Neat & Tangled - Piece of Cake birthday card

Hello everyone!

I'm so happy and honoured to be here as a member of this amazing design team. 
Today I got this super fun card for you - made with Neat & Tangled Piece of Cake stamp set. 

My first step was to stamp this huge cake image with Versafine Onyx Black ink on to a watercolour paper, cut to be slightly smaller than my card base. I also added a few smaller confetti-like pieces around the main image, to fill up the empty space. 

I love this set, the size and design are perfect to practise colouring with any medium. I chose Distress Markers in bright colours. I wanted my cake to appear slightly dramatic, with lots of contrast between darkest and lighter areas. I also added water splatters and shadow behind my main image to add more dimension and interest to this otherwise very simple and flat design.   

After my colouring was done, I added Glossy Accents to all the confetti pieces, candle and each of the hats, as well as details with a white gel pen. 

My last step was to stamp sentiment included in this set with Versafine Onyx Black ink and adhere the card panel to light grey card base with foam tape.
