Fabulous Fish

Hello friends, a clean & simple ( I think? ) card today using

Sea Life Dies (155684) and alcohol inks on vellum

A recent craze is using alcohol inks or pens on vellum with rubbing alcohol.

I'll share my messy bits with you tomorrow :)

I die cut a section of the vellum, mounted it on white card using adhesive sheet,

die cut my fish from SU Rainbow Glimmer Paper 

(page 135 #153056, there's also some other gorgeous new papers there),

and added some background bubbles using Seascape stamp set (155009).

I hope your day is not as soggy as it is in Kent........and thanks for visiting

Daisy Delights

Hi there

I've managed some crafty time, in between gardening and stuff.

There's always stuff isn't there?

Anyhoooo...........without further adoooo

Smile......go on Smile.....it exercises your face muscles :)

I've been following a lovely blog by Anita - NeetandCrafty 

and feeling in a CAS (otherwise known as clean and simple) mood in

the Craft Room........... 

I stamped and masked the daisies..........using sticky notes,

masked off a border with stencil tape ......not as tacky as masking tape, 

and doesn't tear your project....ask me how I know that :),

and used a sponge brayer to add ink.

Below is the inside... 

I used my Stamparatus (see above) to stamp the "smile".

I left the masks on the daisies, just in case, and was able to get a nice black sentiment

by stamping it three times.

I then decided I liked the smaller daisy more....and chose a brighter colour

(Mango Melody instead of Balmy Blue)

I added some stalks this time..........and used a black fine liner where it wasn't black enough.

I think this is my favourite, what do you think?

Do pop over to Anita's blog......she has some lovely elegant designs and ideas.

I'm linking up with PerfectlyCleanandSimple  Masking challenge too,

as there's lots of masking done here :)
