A pink variation

 

A variation on my last card,   Shades of pink with a blue background - all done with pigment inks, and then edged with mica magic.   Am loving these stencil and the water colour effect.   this stencil is my favourite.

Experimenting with masks

 

The photo doesn't really do this card justice.  It is a really pretty faded colour effect.    I used the Studio Light Essential Mask No 81..  This was the first time I used them masks,  and was pretty pleased with the result.    The flowers are achieve by layering different masks over the top of each other, and each layer is numbered to make life easy.

I used pigment inks in various shades of blue and purple for the flowers, and a couple of shades of green and little blue for the leaves, using either a finger dauber sponge or one of the little brush blenders.   The card was Academia Drawing and Watercolour card.   I finished off by edging the card with blue and purple Mica Magic with a dauber and blending it into the card.

I have since tried another one of the masks using watercolors, but wasn't happy with the effect - so shall revert to the pigment inks, as the layering effect is much easier to achieve with them.   (Well it was for me!)

Butterfly Card

I received this butterfly stamp as a freebie with an order, and decided to use it for a crd.  I stamped it with Spectrum Noir Metallic pigment in rose gold onto watercolour paper, and then using pigment inks I painted it and cut it out.   I used a little nuvo glue and Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewls and Indigo Blu Unicorn Sparkles.  I gave it a quick spray with Spray and Shine - to set the colour and gtive it a shine.

I mounted it on to the card, and added myh favourite corner stamps from John Next Door using a platinum metallic pigment ink.
