My Dad The Superhero! - A Set of Father's Day Cards

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?  I had a very crafty one, spending yesterday demonstrating and meeting some lovely fellow crafters.  This Sunday I will be deminstrating at The Range in Romford from 11am.

I'm up on the CrafTangles blog today and being as Father's Day is just around the corner I thought I'd better get some cards made.  What better stamp set to use than the CrafTangles Super Boys stamp and die set?!  It was one of my very first sets I got when I joined the DT.  To this day it's a set I go back to time and time again.

I began by stamping, die cutting and colouring all the images using my Chameleon pens and colour tops.  For my first card I used a skyline stencil to make the background and added some yellow for the lights.

Next up I got out some glitter card as I felt the black needed a bit of a lift - as if I need an excuse to get out the glitter! Ha!

For my final card I opted for a bright background using die cuts.  I think this is a bright happy card, don't you?

There's a more in depth tutorial over on the CrafTangles blog HERE.  I hope to be back on Friday but no promises as I have a jam packed week ahead of me!

Have a lovely week whatever you do,

Watercolour Backgrounds - CrafTangles April Challenge Inspiration

Happy Weekend!

I'm up on the CrafTangles blog with a selection of cards made using their liquid watercolours which are very vibrant.  I had a lot of fun making the backgrounds and watching the colours amalgamate was mesmerizing.

For my first card I used Soul Mate, Autumn Blaze and Lemon Tart to create the background and heat embossed a stamp in black.  I matted on to a black background and stamped a sentiment to finish.

Next up I used Lemon Tart, Evergreen and Poolside to create the background but then covered most of it up with a reverse scalloped circle die!  I did some dry embossing with a stencil to add a little more texture before adding die cut butterflies and a sentiment cut from the background.

For my final card I used Grape Jelly, Ripe Plums and Soul Mate to create the background and added a die cut dandelion and heat embossed sentiment.

All these cards are inspiration for the CrafTangles April Challenge in which all you need to do is use water colours in your projects!  You can find more information HERE.

I hope you have a great weekend whatever you do and if you happen to be in Hemel Hamstead I will be doing a Trimcraft demo on Sunday from 11am at The Range which has just opened there!

See you again soon,
