A gorgeous scene made with Wooded Acres; on the Last Chance List

I was playing around with the Wooded Acres stamp set and made a pretty scene by adding a blended background. 

Save

You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes. 

Here are the steps:

1. I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off.  I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky. 
2. Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass. 
3. I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue. 
4. I layered it with Black and White card stock. 
5. I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.  

What do you think?  

This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here.

• Easiest Shaker card you’ll ever make!

  January 26, 2021

  ---

  Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds.  But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.  

  Save

  I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  You can see it here.  That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

  Save

  This type of shaker card is truly easy; really!  Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:

  1.  A clear envelope
  2. Strong adhesive
  3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces

  Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open.  Add your fun filler and seal closed.  

  Save

  The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

  I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards.  Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:
