Cleverprints ATCs

Hi, today I'm sharing how I made these ATCs for a swap.

Blend salvaged patina distress oxide over three ATCs (pieces of card 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches). Add depth by blending peacock feathers distress oxide through the Funky Numbers stencil.

Using the handwriting stamp from the Woodland Whatnots stamp set and Peacock Feathers distress oxide ink add more depth to the ATCs. Add more depth using the splats and squares from the Texture Stamps set 2 using the same ink.

Die cut in black card lots of the Out of the Box dies. Don't worry if you cut too many, because they can be used on other projects.

Stamp 3 dragonflues from the Born to Fly stamp set and several of the small flowers from the Rosehip and A Little Bird Told Me stamp sets. Colour and cut out. Stamp and cut out your chosen sentiment three times.

Arrange a combination of die cuts, fliwers and dragonflies on each ATC and glue in place, thenadd the sentiment.

Cleverprint's Bloomed Frames

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a how to make this card using the new Cleverprint's Framed Blooms 2 stamp set.

Cut a piece of white mixed media card in to a 5 inches square. 

Place a 4 inch round gelli plate onto your work surface. 

Add two small drops of Bubblegum pink paint to the gelli plate and use a brayer to spread it all over the surface. Don't worry that it pools a litte as this will add texture to the background.

Place the spots stencil over the gelli plate. Put a small dot of the crushed grape paint onto your surface and using a sponge dauber add it through the circles in the stencil.

Clean your brayer and stencil on a spare piece of card, this can be used in another project.

Place your 5 inch square of card over the gelli plate and rub firmly all over. Don't worry if it's not quite central.

Peel the paper gently away from the gelli plate.

Add white gesso over any paint left on the gelli plate and using your clean up piece from earlier pull any remaining paint.

Leave both pieces to dry.

Place the circular flower stamp onto your 5 inch  background, roughly centrally on your painted area. Stamp using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. Heat emboss with black embossing powder. 

Using Karin markers and a waterbrush, colour the image. I scribbled the marker onto my glass mat, then picked up the colour with my waterbrush.

Add a border using the stitched border stamp from the Happy Soul stamp set from ghe In the Garden collection. Also add your chosen sentiment.

Mount on topink, then purple card. Then glue on to a 6 x 6 inch card blank.

Cleverprints Ltd: Blooms Frames

Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing how I made this art journal page using Cleverprint Ltd's brand new release Blooms Frames stamp and die sets.

To begin, take a piece of 10 x 7 inch mixed media card and spritz it with the three colours of distress oxide sprays, then spritz with water and leave to dry naturally.

Whilst the background dries, die cut several of the border style dies from black card. Both are designed so that they can be extended. Keep some of the circles that come out of one of the dies, as they will be used later.

Stamp, using versafine clair nocturne ink, the main image from the stamp set. Then colour it with Ecoline pens and a waterbrush. Next cut it out. Don't worry about cutting the stamens out, just cut them off. Add white pen highlights and ink the edges with black ink.

Return to the background. Using the worker stamps from both the stamp sets add depth to the background using distress inks.

Stamp three of the dragonflies around the background, assuring they won't be hidden by the main image.

Glue the die cuts and main image to the background.

Mount onto a piece of black card and stick in your journal.
