Sweet Poppy Stencils "Autumn Leaves" Card

 

This morning I've been playing with my Sweet Poppy Stencils and stamps to make this card.

I started by stamping the leaves, which is part of the Sweet Poppy Stencils stamp set called "Autumn Leaves".  Stamping in second generation stamping of Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

I then used a selection of colours (Sunflower, Orange Blossom, Coffee, Pink Peony, Plum and Peat Moss) of Ranger Archival Inks through the Sweet Poppy "Harmony Backplate Stencil".  Blending the colours out from the middle towards the edges, but retaining white space to allow the eye to settle.

I coloured the leaves using a selection of Derwent Inktense pencils, a 2B pencil and a gel pen.

Over the top of the image, I lay the Sweet Poppy "Grid Plate Stencil" and applied "Prickly Pear" Ranger Archival Ink through the stencil with a blending brush.  This provided the extra texture.

Laying a piece of paper over the leaves, I used a fan shaped paint brush to splatter white paint over the surface of the card, I used Dr. PH Martins Bleed Proof paint.

I then mounted the card on to a kraft card blank, finally stamping the "Follow Your Dreams" sentiment (also part of the Sweet Poppy "Autumn Leaves" stamp set), using Versafine Clair "Chianti" dark red ink.

Sweet Poppy Stencil "Oriental Cherry Blossom" Birthday Card

This morning I have made a birthday card using a couple of Sweet Poppy Stencils.

I used the Sweet Poppy "Plaid Back Plate" with "Shadow Grey" Archival Ink, fading the colour out to the edges.

I then positioned the Sweet Poppy "Oriental Cherry Blossom" stencil over the top and used the following shades of Archival Ink through the stencil, applied with blending brushes:  Vivid Chartreuse, Pink Peony, Fern Green, Vibrant Fuchsia and Violet.

For the middle of the flowers, I used a green pastel pencils,  

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the sentiment, which is part of the Sweet Poppy "Autumn Leaves" stamp set.  

Finally, I added some dots of Ranger white "Enamel Accents" for extra detail.

Sweet Poppy Stencil "Feather" Brusho Card

Another day and another feather on a Brusho background, but quite different to the earlier one. 

I raided my Brusho background file and found this blue and green piece of card, which was the ideal size for the Sweet Poppy "Feather" stencil.

I used Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink through the Sweet Poppy Stencil, I then coated it in "Rich Gold" Wow! Embossing powder and heat set with the heat gun.

I used "Monarch" again to stamp the sentiment, which is part of the Sweet Poppy "Autumn Leaves" stamp set.

Finally, inking the edges of the card in "Monarch" then mounting on co-ordinating paper and then a white card blank.
