Thecraftycardmaker: Wild and Free Collection

Hi everyone, I had the pleasure of making some samples for the release of Shady Designs new Wild and Free stamp collection. I am sharing them below.

For my first sample, I used the main image from the Fungi and Flora stamp set. I stamped it onto craft card and heat embossed it with copper embossing powder. I then coloured it using my Castle Arts colouring pencils. I also heat embossed the sentiment from the stamp set.

For my second sample, I stamped the main image and sentiment from the Leafy Loops stamp set using versafine clair nocturne ink onto cream card. I used my Castle Arts colouring pencils to colour it in. I then added shaded lilac distress oxide around the edges of the piece of card and mounted this onto a cream card blank.

My third sample is a set of three altered playing cards. To create these I used both stamp sets in the collection. I created backgrounds on all three cards using the Cracked and Hanging Garden stencils and the Hanging Garden stamp. I then stamped and coloured, using distress watercolour pencils, several of the images. These were collaged onto the cards.

My last sample uses stamps from bith stamp sets. I began by using Bee Crafty's 6" easy frame to apply tumbled glass and bundled sage distress oxide to the piece of card. I then blended hickory smoke distress oxide through the Mushrooms and More stencil. I stamed, using versafine clair nocturne, the wreath, some flowers, fungi and berries onto a separate piece of card and coloured them with pencils. I stamped one of the floral images onto the background piece. After cutting out all the images I used foam tape to adhere them to the card. I stamped the sentiment four times around the edge and mounted this on green card then a card blank.
