Another idea for July's workshops is looking at ways of using 3D embossing folders and colouring them with different products. The trouble with many is that I don't like covering them once produced. I also looked at using them both ways round - embossed and debossed designs give different effects
I have also included some try outs which I didn't make up into cards.
I had a customer ask me what she could do with card candi. I had a number of old cards on show but decided to do some more as an idea for July's workshops. mainly I looked at different flowers we could produce but as you will see I have also I used them for butterflies, caterpillars and ladybirds. They can also be used as roof tiles or on peel offs and stamps with circles in them.
Looks like a couple of cards are missing but they can be seen in store.
This stamp from Françoise Read I have done in a few different ways for July's workshops with different backgrounds.
You need to read the last 3 posts from today in reverse to get the story for this month's workshops.
This was my new stamp for the month , again used with the spray ink backgrounds and this month's stencils plus a die from last summer
Same idea as before - produce backgrounds - this time with stencils (pasted, embossed, inked, spayed) and put them with stamps and stencils which could be used for male cards.
A number of my sprays have blocked so I have looked at alternative ways of using them for backgrounds..
It's Father's Day month so the time of year for male cards (although many are also suitable for females).
I have used different dies and stamps from my stash with the backgrounds produced.
Two different styles for these 2 stamps. The daisy frame by Francoise has stencils round the edge of many. Again different colouring for each
and then for the designer boutique rose I used papers, lace etc for backgrounds
I used the peacock die from creative expressions on card coloured with various products - pixie powders, sprays, metallic gilding polishes. For backgrounds I also used the DL peacock feather stencil - either embossed or sprayed through. I also used the Jennifer frame die to set the peacock on.
... well the set was called Botanical and I have had 2 of these on the shelf for ages so I thought I ought to try them out. I have used different coloured powders, mica over clear embossing ink and some UTEE impressions.
