Crafty Individuals June launch

Hello Everyone!!

Yet again I've been neglecting my blog. We've got rather allot going on at the moment as we're hoping to move very soon so have been busy sorting the house out as well as creating design team pieces and trying to keep my little shop going. I will try to post every now and again but have several posts ready to be edited that I hope to publish very soon.

Anyway enough about that, did you manage to catch the latest launch of Crafty Individuals stamps on create and craft at the beginning of June?

Crafty Individuals Pablo the penguin

Hi All!!

Hope your all having a great weekend. 

I've been a little bit more organised this year with my Christmas cards. Last year I didn't start making them until very late in November - of course I learnt my lesson!!!

I have a couple of cards to share with you, the first one using the this gorgeous Pablo the penguin from Crafty individuals CI-557.

Cut a piece of card to fit on a 5x7 pre-folded card blank. Stamp the penguin with black ink and emboss using clear embossing powder and a heat gun. 

I then coloured it in with spectrum noir tri blend pens. As you can see it doesn't really need a great deal of colouring. 

Using a stencil and a soft applicator brush apply tumbled glass distress ink through the snowflake stencil. Keep moving the stencil around randomly inking through it. I'm afraid I have no idea where this stencil is from as I've had it in my stash for sometime now.

Using the Lavinia scene masks create a snowy horizon line by lightly applying stormy sky distress ink.

I often like to finish my cards off with a doodled border. 

I made a couple of cards using pablo and doodled a couple of different borders. The first one on the left is one that I do allot but thought I'd try a starry one for a change.

Mount onto a pre-folded card blank.
