Paint Fusion meets...

Here's 2 more cards made with the paint fusion technique.

This first card uses the leaves and blossom stamps from the 'Berries' stamp plate, which I stamped onto Neenah card and painted with acrylics. However, I've used Yellow Cosmic Shimmer paint on the centre of the flowers (as I have no yellow acrylic paint yet!)
I then stamped the Crafters Companion 'Candyfloss' flower fairy and the matching corner stamp, both were coloured with ProMarkers. I then made this into an acetate fronted card and added sentiment and peeloffs.

The second card uses the 'Daisy' stamps onto watercolour card and painted with acrylics. I also stamped the statue image from Creative Expressions stamp plate 'Lost Garden' and watercoloured with Brushmarker pens. I then repeatedly stamped and embossed the Ivy stamp from the same collection around the top of the card to finish the 'scene'. Tumbled Glass distress ink was also added around the edge and into the image .

House Mouse

This card uses a house mouse stamp from Joanna Sheen and this is one of my favourite images. It has been stamped with Black Soot Distress ink and coloured with ProMarkers. The backing paper was created using the 'Flourish' embossing folder from creative expressions and inked over with Distress Ink - Dusty Concord, shabby shutters and pine needles.

Distress Inks

Decided to have a play with my distress inks today.
This card uses a waterside cottage stamp from a 'Create a Scene' stamp plate, which I've stamped in Weathered Wood.
Tumbled glass was used to give the effect of water and the image was edged with Faded Jeans. I've also used a little green from Waterfall Big N Juicy ink pad.

Challenges covered:
Crafts 4 eternity: Colour recipe
One stop craft challenge: Card for a male
The stampman challenge: Distressed

A different Christmas card

Been having a play with the new embossing powders from Sheena Douglass. I've used a stag and branch stamp from a Creative Expressions stamp plate.
The stag has been stamped with versamark onto black cardstock and embossed using the holographic powder, this gives a purple effect on black card. I then stamped the branch several times with Versamark and embossed with the fine white powder. The image has then been mattered onto white card and then blue mirror board. To finish the card I added a blue mirror board strip, punched snowflakes and greeting emboseed agani using the fine white powder.

Another christmas card

I'm on a bit of a role now...This card uses an image from the Creative Expressions stamp plate - Winter Wonderland 2. I stamped the main image, masked it and then stamped the trees to create a little scene. The backing paper was created with a snowflake brayer and Big n Juicy Waterfall ink pad. The edges were then inked with the same ink pad.

I'm entering this card into the challenge at Winter Wonderland, the theme in Monochromatic Christmas card.

Christmas card

The theme for this weeks challenge at I love promarkers is "transport'. It has taken me quite a while to think of something that fits this challenge, but then I remembered this stamp I had from Creative Expressions (part of the Christmas create a scene stamp plate). The image has been stamped, coloured in with ProMarkers and then I've distressed around the edge with Distress ink - Vintage Photo. The background papers are from a kit that I got from Create and Craft last year.
Also, I've entered this card at The stampman challenge as the current challenge theme is 'distress it'.

Another card for today...

Made a start on the Christmas cards...only crafters must think about Christmas this early!
This is using a cute polar bear stamp from Creative Expressions and backing papers from Docraft.
One down...too many more to go!
