Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Quirky Birds" Card

I received a small order from Tracy Evans Boutique Designs today,  The orders are always dispatched so fast and are beautifully packaged.  Anyway, I wasted no time in having a play.

I used a piece of Papermill Direct 300gsm Super smooth white card for the base, covering the card with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide ink bordered in "Mermaid Lagoon" Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the "Mermaid Lagoon" ink through the Tracy Evans "Snippet Stencil Fronds - SS5".

I then used Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink to stamp the Tracy Evans "Take Flight - TE9" stamp. I made pink and white splatters across the surface using Posca Pens.

On a white piece of card, I stamped the Tracy Evans "Quirky Birds - TE10" bird uisng Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink. I fussy cut the bird and stuck it on to the card

Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2024" - Day 11

On the run up to each Christmas, I usually take part in Karen Telfer's Christmas Tag challenge.  Because we were living in the caravan and I didn't have my craft supplies, I wasn't able to take part in 2024.  Now my craft room is set up, I thought I had better get cracking on the tags.  For 2024, Karen was doing 12 tags rather than 24 as she had a busy work schedule.

This is the penultimate tag of the 2024 challenge.  I'm feeling bereft already, but Karen has assured me there will be another set of Christmas tags for 2025.  So not too long to wait.  This is my Day 11 tag (you can view Karen's tutorial here).

I've used a selection of Distress Oxide Inks for the scored background, stamping the Sweet Poppy Stencils "Small Fir Tree" in Versafine Clair "Spruce" adding glittered baubles to the tree using gel pens.

I used a section of the Marianne Design Creatables, ref LR0737 for the die cut window frame, prefering to leave it white rather than colouring it.  I splattered white Posca Pen on to a piece of plain vellum and backed the window frame with it, then stuck the frame to the tag over the Christmas tree.

I have a tin of assorted foliage die cuts, left over from previous projects, so I had a rummage through that and found some suitable pieces, topping it with a Stampin' up die cut in bright red.

Lavinia Stamps Willow Card

 

I used a cream coloured card for the base of this card, stamping the Lavinia Stamps "Willow" stamp in two shades of green Versafine Clair inks.  I used "Avocado" and "Shady Lane" in first and second generation stamping.

I then used the Lavinia Stamps "Leaf Creeper" stamp with Versafine Clair "Lilac Bloom" ink.

I went around the edge of the card using "Bundled Sage" Distress Oxide Ink and then stamped the sentiment, which is part of the Lavinia "Heartfelt Verse" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink.
