Birthday Wishes for a Crafty Friend with Tracey

February 3, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards, Other

Hi Friends! As you read this post the groundhog has already come out of his burrow and hopefully did not see his shadow! Wiarton Willie, my groundhog, says early spring! I have been busy reorganizing my studio this past month, a great job for the winter. Of course once I started going through my craft supplies I found things I had almost forgotten about. When I came across my watercolour powders I decided to use them for my post this week.

It is so much fun to watercolour flowers with these powders. I started out stamping and white heat embossing the main flower of the Japanese Peony stamp set onto a piece of watercolor paper. Then I die cut the image using the co-ordinating Japanese Peony creative dies. I sprinkled pink, raspberry, light and dark green watercolour powder on to my craft mat in separate areas. When using watercolour powder, a little bit goes a long way–just a couple light taps. I added clean water to the powder with a painbrush then watercoloured the flower. When it was partially dry I went back in again and added a bit more colour to some areas to add a bit more depth and dimension. I set it aside to dry fully while I prepared the background for my card.

Using the Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes I ink blended my background using Distress Oxide inks and Bristol smooth cardstock. Then I flicked some watered down gold watercolour paint on to the panel and set that aside to dry. Once it was dry, I cut the panel with the largest rectangle from the Darling Ribbons & Frames cover die. This gives a nice stitched border all around the frame.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Greetings stamp set which was stamped on the card front before it was glued front of the white card base. Studio Katia Double Sided Foam Tape was added to the back of the flower before it was attached to the card for a little more dimension.

To finish the card off I used my Studio Katia Embellishment Wand to add a few Gold Sparkle Crystals around the flower for a little extra pop.

Thank you so much for stopping in today, we will see you next time!

Posted @withregram • @inkyfingersandribbon Hey l Posted @withregram • @inkyfingersandribbon Hey lovelies, I hope you’re all doing ok in this crazy world ? I’ve been actually doing some crafting and I’m sharing this card over on the @studiokatia blog today #linkinbio 
I think this stamp is my all time SK fav and love embossing and water colouring it. I’ve used the new @spectrumnoir Aqua pens and have to say I’m really impressed with them. 
For the stencil background I’ve used @tonicstudios Nuvo Glimmer Paste. 
Embossing powder and card is @simonsaysstamp 
I hope whatever you are doing today you stay safe and stay happy ❤️💜❤️

Posted @withregram • @emily.leiphart Who’s rea Posted @withregram • @emily.leiphart Who’s ready to say goodbye to 2020? I’m personally torn over saying goodbye to a completely wasted year because saying hello to a new year means that I’ve lost so much precious time. Right now, I just want to enjoy Christmas and finish the year stress-free. ✨

Posted @withregram • @olga_moss Hello, friends. Posted @withregram • @olga_moss Hello, friends. I'm on the @studiokatia today sharing with you a small festive series with gorgeous poinsettias. When I sat down to color these flowers, I realized that I could not simply make one card. So I made a souvenir shaker magnet, a gift tag and some beautiful wonderful stickers that can be used to decorate envelopes, or be used to secure wrapping paper on the gifts. Swipe to see more photos. Also you can find more details on the #studiokatiablog 🌲
    
    
Такой небольшой сет я сделала с чудесными пуансеттиями от @studiokatia Так вдохновилась ими, что не смогла остановиться и сделала открытку, тэг, магнит-шейкер и стикеры, которыми можно украсить почтовые конверты или подарки. В карусельке много фото, в сториз видео, а детали описаны в публикации в блоге. 🌲
