Green & Black Snippets

Hi there . . . do you wan't to see what I've been up to in my craft room? 

Of course you do! Here's an inky A6-size card with uses up a few snippets.

The card plus the snippets that made it!

HOW TO:

I inked up a tall, thin acrylic block with green dye ink, spritzed it with water, then stamped it onto the card front. The card base is made from 300gsm white card (from an A4 pack bought from Hobby Craft), so it takes wet stuff well!

I clapped wet hands over the card (once the ink had dried) and mopped up the splatters with blotting paper. 

I die-cut the flowers from a snippet of black card and glued them to the inky panel. For the little tab, I used an Itty Bitty circle punch by Stampin' Up! on another snippet and shaped it to make "SarnCandi". It was adhered to the tab with a foam dot for dimension.

MATERIALS:
Acrylic block
Green ink
Modern flower die from a French Company I can't remember the name of.

Foxy!

Hello!

Today I have a recycled card to show you.

I die-cut the fox from a shop-bought birthday card and matted it onto a snippet of orange card. I stencilled a background using brown and orange inks. Unfortunately, the orange came out yellow! Believe it or not, the stamped circles are the exact same orange ink pad as the yellow stencilling! I must remember that when brushing ink through stencils using an OLD ink pad, it comes out a significantly lighter colour than usual!

MATERIALS:

• Aall & Create A4 hexagon stencil
• Micro dots stencil
• Carabelle circle stamp
• SU Chocolate Chip ink
• Wild Honey Distress Ink
• Fox image recycled from a birthday card
