A quick post for you showing you a cute card using the Turtle and Friends Bundle by Stampin' Up!®
We have so many fantastic dies with stitching in them. Myrtle (as I like to call her) is created using paper piecing and the Hand Penned DSP.
Behind her is the Stitched Greenery die which is fabulous! Her clouds are from the Give it a Whirl dies.
To be honest, when I saw those clouds in a sample I wanted the Give it a Whirl dies just for the clouds!
Did you know I run classes in Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast? We play with all sorts of different Stampin' Up!® products. Last week I ran a technique class on Bokeh. It's a beautiful technique that adds a little extra something something to a card.
We explored three different backgrounds. This one was watercolouring on some of our watercolouring paper.
· Hold stencil and paper still while sponging
· Lift the stencil up and down vertically - don’t slide across the project
· Ensure you sponge to the edge of the circle/shape
· The less times you re-ink the dauber, the lighter your image becomes
· Keep the larger images lighter… the smaller images darker
· Start with the bigger circles first and make sure some circles go off the edge of your cardstock
· Overlap circles
· Odd numbers are good - especially of the larger images. When we see even numbers we tend to add them up
Our last card was a beauty and the ladies loved the mix of inking the background, adding the Craft ink and adding the seaweed cut outs and the shark doo doo doo doo doo.
