Rainbow shaker card using smooshing technique

Hello crafty friends!

I hope you are having a crafty and sunny day!

This card is for Sister Act card challenge design team inspiration.

This time I would like to share with you a rainbow shaker card that I made using two techniques – stripe die cutting and smooshing.

I really enjoyed trying the new technique – smooshing. I saw it the first time in one of Kristina Werner’s video and I was intrigued. I like how the colours just move their own way and mix together but at the same time you can control them with the paint brush. So much fun! Check out how it is done in the tutorial video I made for this card:

here are the pictures of the card:

Fusion card challenge inspired card

Hello!

I would like to share with you a card I made inspired by the picture at Fusion card challenge.

I just love these vibrant and warm colours of flowers contrasted with the cold colour of the butterfly.

 

 

I stamped the images using the Kaisercraft stamp set – with beautiful florals. I removed the words that were on the petals using cotton ear buds and stamped the images with Versa Fine onyx black ink – perfect for watercolour markers and watercolouring in general. I used Stabilo 68 pens to colour in the florals. These pens blend very well on the watercolour paper and if you ever need to smooth out the blending they also work with water so you can use your brush with water and complete the blending. You have to be really careful though because these pens have a lot of ink and the darker colour can overtake the brighter (like you can see on my purple flower) I wish that turned out better but I still like the bright combination of these flowers.

I had a bit of a struggle with the sentiment because as always with my backgrounds I do not want to cover them 🙂 So here I came up with this little banner in the middle that I tucked under the butterflies. I hope you like how it turned out.

Here is the video showing how I made the card:
