You're an angel

Today's card uses my absolute favourite image - Mischief angel from Stampers Anonymous. One of my first stamps and still a firm favourite. The word stamp is by PSX.

Spotlight technique

Wow where has January gone. It seems to be flying by and I just havn't got into my blogging this year yet.

Thought I would start off the year with a technique card. This card shows the Spotlight Technique.

Simply put you choose a large stamp/often a collage style stamp and pick out just one part of the stamp ie the butterfly and colour that in or I stamped image twice and cut out just the butterfly part of the second image and coloured it in and then attached it with pop up foam dots over the original plain stamped image. So that is the spotlight technique in a nutshell. Easy start to the year I thought.

Materials required: Orange cardstock, corrugated cardstock, white cardstock, butterfly charms, Butterfly collage stamp by PSX, Image word stamp by Stampers Anonymous, wire, beads, tombow pens, glitter, foam dots, ds tape, black brilliance ink pad

Method: Using black ink pad, stamp Collage image twice onto white cardstock . Cut out just the butterfly portion of the second image and color in using tombow or copic pens and I used some glitter as well. Take orange cardstock and fold to create 15 x 15 cm square card. Take your first butterfly collage stamped image and mount it onto orange and then corrugated paper and then to cardfront. Take the second butterfly only coloured image and wrap wire around and thread beads onto the wire. Then attach over 1st image using foam dots. Stamp word imagine onto white cardstock using black ink pad and then mount onto orange and then corrugated paper and then to cardfront. Add butterfly charms and you are done.

Five minute card

Today's card is truly a five minute card. The stamp I think is a PSX one.

Materials: white cardstock, Red Brilliance ink Pad, Black Brilliance ink Pad, Heart Stamp by PSX, Red cardstock, Red heart gem, Love word stamp by Hero Arts

Method: Fold white cardstock to make a top fold 15 x 15 square card. Use black brilliance ink pad to stamp 4 hearts onto red cardstock and cut out and attach to cardfront. Attach gem and then use red ink pad to stamp Love word.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
