Die Cutting 

Colouring 

I applied colours to each piece using FSJ watercolour pencils + Zigs watercolour markers.
I applied a fair amount of the pencils and marker pigments on the watercolour paper and I blended it using a water brush.

I then glue the pieces together and applied extra colour just to add darker areas,  shadows and accents.

Sentiments

Supplies List 

 I  had several ideas about how to colour the images and what mediums I should use to do it.

I also wanted to try gold heat emboss on dark cardstock but once I stamped the images to try them on smooth paper  I thought I really didn't need to do anything else.

They were beautiful on their own. You can stamp the whole scene or just use on the images in the scene to make an even simpler composition.


 The stamp set produces a stunning sketched impression. The lines of the main image are super fine  and this is really cool and original artwork ...

 I really think it will make a whole card with very little effort.


However, I went ahead and I  applied quick and easy colours using  Copic Ciao Markers.


I also applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the shoes.. they look so pretty!

Hello everyone,  STAMPtember 2019 is here!!!!!

 We are having a party to celebrate the biggest Simon Says Stamp Release in the year and a whole month event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the fun of stamping!

Today papercraft artist and bloggers from all over the world will be sharing ideas and inspiration using the latest products available here.

 I'll be featuring Spooky Silhouette Background an incredible bold Halloween themed stamp.

 I made 4 super easy cards 

• I used the Tim Holtz stamping platform to stamp the spooky silhouette image on smooth cardstock.
• I used Versafine Onix Ink as it is great to work with waterbased products.
• I did some Distress ink blending over the image.

• Next, I mixed loads of white shimmer powder with a little bit of water in a spray bottle and I sprayed the panels.
• I  allowed the panel to dry and I die cut it using the larger dies in Wonky Rectangles die set. just to add a decorative edge to the panel.

• I adhere to the die cut panel on a C6 card base.
• Using a yellow alcohol marker I added colours to the house window.  
• The sentiments were heat embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock.

• I fussy cut them sentiments and adhere them to the panel using double-sided foam adhesives.
• To finish I embellish with sequins and Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

STAMPtember® Party Guest List 

Funny Food stamp set

I first stamped the images using Versafine Onix Ink on 300 grams watercolour paper.
To add a decorative element to the backgrpund I   used Tiny Spaced Heart stencil and I applied Sea Spirit Nuvo Glacier Paste with a Nuvo Spatula.

I love how the Glacier Paste glides on the paper.. just like butter and it is beautiful .. this is my fav paste from the Nuvo Range. Love!

To finish this card I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the chips container and I embellished with sequins.

I stamped the envelope using Happy Mail stamp set  by Gina K Designs.


Tip:  To keep your Nuvo mousses and pastes healthy place a piece of aluminium on the jar top and then screw the lid as tight as possible.  I keep the packaging protector to avoid deterioration of the product as well.

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a super simple card featuring Simon Says Stamp Supplies.

I used  Beautiful Day stamp set,  Hexagon Element Wafer die and a die from Wonky Rectangles die set to add a decorative stitched edge to the front panel of my card.

I  added colours using Peacock Feathers ,  Evergreen Bough  distress inks and a few blue pens from Arteza watercolour markers. I blend the colours using a  water brush.



I simply stamped the leaves on watercolour paper and with a water brush, I blended the ink from the edges of the images towards the centre.

This produces a very light wash of colour.

• Next, I applied brown inks on a piece of watercolour paper. I  sprayed the paper with water to blend the inks and when the paper was dry  I die cut the honeycomb out of it.
• I adhered the honeycomb to the card background using Nuvo Deluxe adhesive.
• Then, I used the larger die Wonky Rectangles die set and I die cut the panel.
• I stamped the butterfly using versafine onyx ink and I applied colour using Peacock Feathers and Evergreen Bought Distress inks.
• To add a little bit of dimention I also stamped the butterfly on vellum, I fussy cut it and I added it behind the bold butterfly.
• I stick the butterfly on the background with Nuvo Deluxe adhesive.
• I heat embossed a sentiment on navy blue cardstock using white embossing powder.

I also did some doodling on the butterfly wings using a white Posca marker and fineliners pens.

Next, I randomly applied over the image  Golden Age Ultimate Waterproof Pen it adds contrast and sparkle.

 I also heat emboss the banner on black card using Nuvo ultra-fine detail gold embossing powder. 

Top tip to get perfect heat embosses sentiment: Use anti-static powder on the cardstock before stamping. Use a Nuvo swipe Brush to brush off any anti-static powder after heat embossing.


I  splattered the background with a red wine Nuvo aqua Flow pen and I embellished with Simon Says Stamp Marina sequins.
