Forget Me Not "Demon" Graffiti Card

This morning I have played with a "Demon" stamp by "The Forget Me Not Kraft Kabin"

I first created the background using a Colorbox Ink in the shade of pewter, brayered onto a gelli plate.  I then added droplets of Brusho in the shade of "Gamboge" to the surface and took a press of the image.

Once the background was dry, I put the background in a Sizzix/Stampin' Up embossing folder with a brick wall design. I then sanded the raised areas to highlight the mortar area of the brick wall.

I then die cut a circle of black card.  I stamped the demon onto white card using Versafine Clair "Tulip Red" shade of ink.  I outlined the figure in black pen and then cut it out and stuck it to the black circle.

I wanted to create a graffiti look so used a section of a Visible Image stamp to create the dripping paint using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.  I also added extra spalshes around the remaining section using a black Sharpie pen.  I then stuck the black circle with the figure on into position.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment, which was from a Stampin' Up set called "Epic Celebrations" which was stamped in Versafine Clair "Norcuturne" shade of ink.

Thinking Of You Floral Card

I've not made a card in this style for a long time.  I totally enjoyed all the processes.

I already had an idea of what I would do and the colours that I would use, so I started with a piece of patterned paper for the base.

I then die cut a banner using Stampin' Up "Banners Framelit" and then put it through the Big Shot in a Sizzix embossing folder with a trellis design.  I then stuck it to the patterned paper.

I then used Stamper's Anonymous "Mini Bouquet" to stamp the flowers.  I coloured them with Promarkers and then cut them out.

I then die cut some scrolls and foliage and assembled all the pieces onto the banner.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment (using a free stamp from a magazine).
