Hello and welcome back to my blog with the lovely
ladies from Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop.
Today is week 50 and we are playing along with Tranquil
Tide which is one of the In Colours for 2017-2019 and sadly it will be
finishing up on 3rd June 2019.
This colour reminded me of the forest and I wanted
to showcase one of the new Host stamp sets from the new Annual Catalogue for
2019-2020.
It’s called New Wonders and I just love this stamp
set as it’s Distinktive. I like the different opacities in a single stamped
image for a realistic depth and intensity.
For the background I used the “smooched” technique,
with my Silicone Craft Sheet I pressed Tranquil Tide and Bermuda Bay on the
sheet. Then with a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock I “smooched" the sheet
until it was covered in ink.
I then spritzed with Rubbing Alcohol and Shimmer
Paint all over the Cardstock. This gives the card a quick drying effect and
plenty of glitter from the Shimmer Paint. I also created this same “smooched effect with Gorgeous
Grape and then Die cut out with the Layering Circles.
This cute fairy has been water coloured in with the
following colours – Tranquil Tide, Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape and Early Espresso.
I brushed Wink of Stella over the wings and the lighter part of Gorgeous Grape.
You can never have enough glitter when it comes to fairies.
I used some embellishments to finish off my card
with the Boxwood Wreaths, Corrugated Elements and the Iridescent Sequins.
I hope you’ve enjoyed
my latest blog.
Happy crafting
Vicki
