FAUX TEARING TECHNIQUE FUN!

Our last class was creating with the Faux Tearing Technique. It was a lot of fun looking back at this older technique. Have you tried it?

This was one of the cards we made. This one using the Irresistible Blooms Stamps and Dies.

It is very easy technique to do. All you need is Blending Brushes and ink and use any stamps you have. You can use scrap paper for the masks or use the Masking Paper or large Sticky Note Paper.

Tear your paper so it is at least as wide as your white card. Position that over your card at the top and bottom leaving a gap on the card in the centre section.

Blend over some ink on the white card building up your colour. Hold your paper firmly so it doesn’t move. I then moved the paper away from the inked edge just slightly and added some more ink for a light edge. Then return your masks to the original position and stamp over the images having some go off the edge of the masked area.

Finish your card as you like.

Are you game to try it?

Happy crafting,

Jenny

SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE WITH A VIDEO!

I’m back with another video for you. This one is using the Spotlighting Technique. Have you tried it?

The Spotlighting Technique is highlighting a part of an image with colour. The part highlighted can be created by diecutting any shape eg circle or square. The section can be raised up or sunk below the card mat.

You can see the video below to see how it is done. I share another version too in the video so stay tuned.

This is the card I created using the Irresistible Blooms. The sentiment is from the Nature’s Prints Stamp set and diecut with the Natural Prints dies.

It is a standard size card base. I have cut the card sheet down vertically for a different look.

The exact measurements I will send out in my newsletter this week. By the way, Are you on my newsletter?? You can head to the side bar, there is a tab there.

I will let you go and watch the video now. I hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

STAMPIN’ UP! IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS HOORAY

Today’s card is one from our Irresistible Blooms Class last Friday. I think this was the favourite by everyone of the cards we made.

The softness of the Soft Seafoam with the POP of Daffodil Delight is a good contrast. I love white embossed sentiments on black.

Another idea of this was layering the stamped card piece on to White card. It just gives a subtle background adding to the softness.

This card was inspired by one by Jaimie -> HERE.

I have been sharing a few cards with this lovely bundle. If you have missed them then pop back a few posts. I’m sure there is more to come too. 🙂

A SKETCH CHALLENGE WITH HELLO IRRESISTIBLE!

On my Private Facebook Group I set a little sketch challenge this weekend to help inspire the members in their creating.

This is the Sketch. (This was from Julie Davison).

I had a little play myself today. This is the card I created.

This card was very quick to put together. There was very little stamping. The Hello, Irresistible Paper was the star.

The white background was embossed with one of the folders in the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set. I have to say there are 3 Embossing Folders in this set and they are all great designs.

The sentiment piece was diecut with a die from the Harvest Dies.

So, why not have a go at the sketch yourself. Share it with me. Send it to me at jghayward@yahoo.com

OR why not join the Facebook group and share it with us there. Head -> HERE.

SOMETHING NEW – IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS!

Something new is coming tomorrow. – Irresistible Blooms. Ooh! It is so gorgeous. ❤

I’m not going to say too much about it now but you will want to check back tomorrow.

Here is just one card I have created with this recently.

The paper is so gorgeous. For this one I have just cut a mat sized piece of the lovely print and then cut it in to 3. Layering it then on white card and on the Calypso Coral Card Base.

The leaves were diecut from one of the other prints in the pack. And the little “dotty strips” were added from the die set.

Be sure to come and see some more very soon.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
