Joanna Sheen Card Swap Card - Theme House and Home

 

I made this card after I had been to a charity event at BJ Crafts near Kings Lynn.

 

I was pleased with my brick wall - Kraft Card Embossed with a brick effect stencil.  Coloured through the stencil with distress inks (Butterscotch, milled lavender, metallic brass and antiqued bronze).  Stencil removed and Imagination Craft Sparkle Mediumapplied with a brayer - great colour and texture effect.  Little Claire stamps used.  The embellishment is plated raffia.

 

NB Background paper picked first and then image coloured to tie in with it.

 

Female Birthday

 

Variation on a craft class project.  The same rose in two different sizes from Clarity Stamp, repeated stamped and masked, before being coloured in.  Large female head from Indigoblu - the face does not have that "checked" pattern over it.

 

 

 

For the girl who likes holidays in the sun sipping cocktails.  Stamps from a Dimension Stamps club project set.

 

June

Well I was able to satisfy the criteria for two swaps with this card.  The monthly Joanna Sheen Forum Card Swap (Theme butterflies or dragonflies) and a monthly private swap (theme make a card using this stamp).

 

The stamp is from Imagination Crafts.  Another tone on tone card.  The background paper panel is from Helidot - I like the small patterns you get in the packs of paper.  The packs come in different colours, but the patterns in the pack are the same whatever colour you choose.
