Monochromatic Smoky Slate – Attention Shoppers

Happy Saturday friends, Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic colour challenge for the Crafty Collaborations Insta Hop. Today we have a beautiful soft gray, Smoky Slate, which has almost a silver tinge. I am using the Attention Shoppers Bundle to feature some variations of this colour on my card.

The first secction I worked on was the polka dots. It’s been a while since I used this technique and it was so much fun. Just take a sponge dauber, tab it into the ink pad and dot away on your project! Such a great way to add a background and if you haven’t tried it, go get your Sponge Daubers!

A thin strip of Silver Foil separates the Take to the Sky patterned paper on top from the polka dots.

I stamped 2 shopping bags, colouring one with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and paper piecing the other with the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. Paper Piecing offers a fun way to add designs to elements.

Around the shopping bags, I added some cut apart ephemera flowers and leaves in simple black and white to fill in and add depth to my card.

I used 2 sentiments from the Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, colouring the bottom one with a Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. These sentiments were offset and then glued to the card, giving the letters a shadow effect. Some Silver Metallic gems complete this card, adding a touch of sparkle.

I hope my card today inspires you to try some of these techniques and create something today. Our Designer Series Paper sale continues until 31st August where you can get 15% off on a select range of patterned papers. Shop by clicking below or contact me to place an order.

Have a lovely weekend.

Love & Warmth – Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Over the past few days I had the pleasure of presenting at the Great International Craft Show Series 17 – GICS17 for short. This is an online crafting event which encompasses all types of craft and the Live event is free to attend. I conducted a class a day which was loads of fun. There was a Christmas theme and I had just received my One Horse Open Sleigh suite so it was just ideal for this event.

This suite is part of our Online Exclusives products and the entire range can be viewed in our Online Store. We’ve got lots of stamps, dies, papers, embellishments and kits to suit everyone. I’ve had some fun creating with this particular suite and I particularly love the horse & sleigh image. It’s just reminiscent of images you see in storybooks and Christmas cards.

I’ve followed along with the layout at Freshly Made Sketches #FMS594.

Although this image is great for colouring, I set out to create a card for those who may not like colouring so much. With some paper piecing the sleigh just came to life. Paper Piecing is such a simple and effective technique pretty much taking us back to Primary School days of cutting and pasting.

Watch the video below to see how I created this card, sharing some tips to help you along the way.
