ed dark brown card on to this i then mounted a piece of background paper i had made myself by sponging distress inks onto copier paper antique linen weathered wood and vintage photo i then crumpled the paper up opened it out and swiped lightly over the top with vintage photo distress ink it gives a lovely marbled look the main image is from the elusive images set paris postcard which was stamped in distress ink onto parchment coloured paper with vintage photo i tore the edges and then rubbed them with weathered wood then rolled one corner this image was mounted onto dark brown card with a piece from a french novel underneath the paris ticket and ooh la la also came fro elusive images again stamped with vintage photo and dabbed with weathered wood the ribbon was once white but again lol coloured with vintage photo the flower was made by stamping flowers in two sizes in vintage photo stamps by artistic stamper flower power onto to paper from the paper cellar victorian classics pad

circle of bronze coloured paper and arranged 4 different coloured hearts so that the points at the bottom of each of them was on the circle and the top of the hearts were in each corner of the square paper next i added two small strips of double sided tape to the circle and added the top layer of heart shaped pieces so that they are in line with the first layer next i added four larger heart

matting papers and using stickers i think it just shows that a simple technique still makes a nice card lisa mandy i used sketch 150 from cps for the layout and was initially inspired to incorporate

forever friends bear is a sticker and the flowers are various primas layered together with a silver beadcap and a spotty brad on a sizzix diecut corner vix mine is a heart shaped easel card which i

easel card tutorial you can do most shapes with easel cards so long as you leave a connecting piece on the fold step 1 fold a piece of card in half any size then draw freehand your heart shape you can use templates downloaded or any you have around cut your shape out but remember to leave the pieces touching the fold on the card uncut as below step 2 open your card up and it will look like below

your card and fold it over i have put the point at the bottom of the heart in line with the cut out on the top of the heart as shown below step 4 add adhesive to the bottom half of the folded heart shape and attach your extra heart shape panel to this step 5 decorate and job done don t forget to add a stopper to the bottom of your card to stope the heart from slipping posted by crafty cardmakers at 12 32 13 comments labels heart shaped easel sketch tutorial saturday 16 january 2010 tutorial distress inks 1 easy backgrounds welcome to our first tutorial on using distress inks there are so many uses for them and this tutorial is to show how to make easy peasy backgrounds that can be used for several styles of design for this you will need a craft mat that wipes clean i personally use a non stick cooking sheet i bought in the pound shop step 1 select your colours minimal or multiple they all look good together and you never get a bad background for this i have used vintage photo faded jeans and spiced marmalade step 2 start with your lightest colour and dab and swipe this on the sheet randomly or organised its your sheet repeat with your darker colours step 3 spritz some water onto the sheet to activate the ink let all the colours mingle if you want a bit of glam added then spray one or two spritzes of a gold or silver such as starburst stains radiant rain or cosmic shimmers dont add too much glam just a touch is enough step 4 take a piece of card and lay this over your wet ink move it around to pick it up if there are any white spaces left then just lay the card down and repeat the more water you add the lighter the colours will be so if mine looks too light i dab the ink back on and do it again until i m happy also they will dry lighter than what they look like wet so bear that in mind step 5 if you want some concentrated colour i dab the inkpad diectly on the sheet and give it a quick spray you can see this on the blue areas here you can also dab them on direct to paper dtp and leave them as they are to make patterns as in the pic below step 6 select a nice area with a good mix of colour and stamp onto it easy as that you can also use your pieces in embossing folders such as the cuttlebug to make interesting and unique backgrounds that you ve made yourself make sure your piece is completely dry before you cuttlebug as it will tear unless you like that look anyhow for this finished piece i simply stamped and tore around the image then i used a piece of sponge to push some brown distress inks around the edge i hope you have a try with this technique there s nothing better than creating your own backgrounds and papers have fun posted by crafty cardmakers at 23 15 5 comments labels distress ink tutorial monday 11 january 2010 challenge 12

everyone our challenge this fortnite was to use something from our secret santa or from the real santa aka my hubbie well i am playing with distress inks i got 5 and have been playing big time with them i used 3 different colours inking up until i got the background colour just as i wanted i have used a gorguss girl image donated to me via another swapping group i dont own any gorguss girls myself i made the flowers with paper that i had coloured in with promarkers and the word tag was coloured as well thanks for looking and for any comments ladies and gents judie xx julie new to promarkers i was pleased with the way this card has turned out they were a christmas present and was a new technique for me to use i started with a blank square card and covered it with the backing paper i recently purchased some new digi stamps of which this image is one which i coloured with the promarkers i matted the picture onto some miri card and mounted it onto the layers of backing paper i stamped the greeting and added the flowers and gem in the corner covering with a little glitter lisa i ve used a new stamp riley moose enjoying some chocolates can t remember what it s called coloured with promarkers a friend gave me the paper so i m not sure of the brand the sentiment is a penny black stamp that i ve cut out and edged with distress inks green tara flowers with a button centre and some little pink pearls to finish mandy i have used my new sizzix scalloped die to cut the base sheets of card and linked them all together using eyelets and jump rings the papers i used are mainly from a pack called bloom grow from my minds eye i found myself succumbing to this gorgeous pack of papers whilst shopping only yesterday i have embellished the pages using chipboard numbers from poundland which i coloured in black the butterflies scalloped circles and journalling tag on the last page are from a freebie pack of papers from a magazine as the colours all matched so well the
