A picnic with friends

-

 

Today I am sharing with you this cute scene that I have created using mostly Time for Tea Designs products.

I started out by stamping using Versa-fine Onyx Black the cute little critters and items of food from the Bears Picnic stamp set and I used my Windsor & Newton Cotman water colours to colour all the images.

The next step was to start on the background for my scene.

To do this I used the Grateful for You stamp set which has a large mountain range image, this set is fantastic as it gives you an instant background in just the one stamp. I again used my water colours to colour my scene.

When I had finished painting the background, my little bears and their accessories were dry and so I took the coordinating die set and set about cutting them all out!

Once I had done that I started to think about how I wanted to complete my scene and realised I didn't have a cloth or blanket for my critters to sit on for the picnic and so I created one of my own. I adhered everything onto my background and I then layered this onto a piece of holographic cardstock and then attached it all to my card blank.

I finished this cute little scene with a stamp from Apple Blossom's Butterfly Sentiments Stamps set and one from Papercraft Essentials, Issue 194's, free The Perfect Fit Papercraft kit.

I hope you like my little picnic scene and feel inspired to try something similar yourselves?

Happy Crafting

Today’s make Is a card made using product from several different brands... It has a 6 x 6 white card base which has been matted and layered with Tonic Studios Craft Perfect card stock in Aubergine Purple which I gutted using a large square die. The next layer has been embossed using the Dotty Floral folder from Apple Blossoms All Occasion Collection. I used Spectrum Noir marker PL3 to colour the flowers and added Simply Creative 3mm self adhesive gems to the centres. I next cut out the sentiment strip using Apple Blossom’s Spring Occasions set. The next step was to ink the sentiment which I took from Creative Stamps Easter Chicks and Bunnies set (which is where the bunnies came from also). The cute little bunnies have been coloured with Spectrum Noir markers... Left bunny - MB1 and MB2 Right bunny - RB1 and RB2 Both bunnies have AP1 for the insides of the ears and IG2 blended out with the colourless blender marker and these areas have also been covered with a Wink of Stella

 Today I want to share with you this card that I recently made using Time for Tea Designs Pandamodium Party... This is a design that I saw Sam Calcott make and if you would like to try one for yourself then  Click here . I started by taking a piece of patterned paper in this case I used polka dot cardstock from my stash and cut it down to 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch's. Then i flipped it over and marked out 1" and 1 1/2" from both sides top and bottom and joined then up. Next I rotated the \piece and marked out 1" from both sides and joined these up also. Now the fun part make a note of the top and then using a sharp blade cut :0 and I have included this next image to try and help visually describe how! I also followed Sam's tutorial and added to the image where the glue will be added later! Where the cut is, we now need to score a burnish, at 1", 2 1/2" and 4" from the bottom up... Next I took a piece of white cardstock 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inch's and using th
