CHEERFUL DAISIES - FACEBOOK LIVE

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing the card I created on my Facebook Live this morning. If you would like to see how I made my card, please click here . Boho Blue is my favourite new In Color, and is the most popular one too! To create my card, I started by adhering Adhesive Sheet to a piece of Basic White Cardstock, die cut all the elements from the Cheerful Daisies Dies twice then stuck them together before adhering them to the Boho Blue Cardstock layer. I added this layer to the Boho Blue card base with a layering panel*, alternatively you could use Dimensionals. *I cut down the white card that comes with the Designer Series Paper packs and glue 3 pieces together then use this to create dimension on my card. It is cut 5mm smaller than the panel I'm adhering it to. A splatter of White Pigment Ink was flicked over the card front and left to dry while I embossed the sentiment and added it to the card front with a piece of the gorgeous new Boho Blue Textured Ribbon....

BE INSPIRED | SUBTLETY SUBTLE

The Be Inspired Design Team are hopping today and our theme this month is "Subtle". I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has created! P lease be sure to hop all the way around for lots of inspirational projects created by the design team.  I created my card using the no-line water colouring technique. To do this I used Smoky Slate ink, stamped it off a couple of times then stamped it onto Shimmery White Cardstock before water colouring it. This card was a labour of love! To avoid the colour on each petal blending into each other, I coloured each alternate petal, then went back and water coloured the ones I had skipped. For the background, I stamped the leaf images (again in Smoky Slate stamped off twice) and water coloured them in Soft Sea Foam, then coloured around them with Pool Party ink. I also added a few splatters on Pool Party. I added a bow tied from Pool Party Sheer Ribbon underneath a gold embossed sentiment and added five gold sequins. Next up in today...
