Hello friends! Today’s exclusive STAMPtember collaboration is with Dare 2B Artzy! There’s a stamp set and coordinating dies. Here’s a look at my card and video: Like this project? Pin it and save it for later | Curious about my project photography? Click for details. Here's a look at this stamp set (die is already sold out):
This card was featured on Pinterest, and I immediately thought it would make a wonderful Mother's Day card for my class. However, 3 of my students do not have their mother anymore, so I changed the sentiment for something more neutral. It is a partial case from Biggan at splitcoaststampers. However, I did change a few things around. I started by punching five 1 3/8" circles, and sponging them with Blushing Bride with the edges Pear Pizzaz. These I folded into dahlia flowers using this tutorial. The stem was die cut using Pear Pizzaz cardstock and the Bouquet die. The stem and flowers were arranged on a Very Vanilla background embossed with the script embossing folder. This background was matted with Pink Pirouette cardstock and then a 1/4" Pink Pirouette ribbon and bow were adhered to the bottom. This was adhered to a Sahara Sand layer, which in turn was adhered to a Blushing Bride base card. The sentiment is "For Being You" (SAB) and was punched using the oval die. The oval was reinserted back into the punch to reduce its size. It was also sponged with Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzaz. Supplies Used: Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog I also used the script embossing folder (retired) and the Bouquet die.

Hi everyone, so glad it's the weekend again! Chores are getting done and I've been playing with infusion powders. I love how these feathers turned out, although they do look a lot like leaves! I sprinkled infusions powder onto some watercolour paper then spritzed it with water. I poured a little Paper Artsy pearl glaze onto a craft mat and diluted it with lots of water using a small brush. I also added some Finetec gold watercolour paint to the mat. Then I smooshed the paper through the glaze and paint on the craft mat a few times until I was happy with the effect. I also brushed a layer of the diluted pearl glaze over the paper, the leaves have a lovely pearly gold sheen to them. I've made another project with the leftovers on the craft mat, waste not want not lol! To finish the card I embossed with a Darice folder and used a few distress inks to add some colour. I also swiped walnut stain and some gold ink around the edge. The PaperArtsy Blog has a challenge that is closing soon! The topic is to use PaperArtsy infusions and paint. There are loads of amazing creations to inspire you. I chose Clare's card here, I was inspired by the jade colour and using diecuts. Clare's card with the diecut silhouette looks fantastic, beautifully CAS. Since one of the techniques I used was smooshing paper through the paint, I'm also linking up to the Cas mix up card challenge. I've used smooshing, stamping, embossing and diecutting. Supplies: PaperArtsy a bit jaded infusions and pearl glaze; distress inks in tumbled glass, peacock feathers, weathered wood, pumicestone and walnut stain. Finetec gold watercolour paints; Stampin Up feathers die and sentiment; Darice feathers on the side embossing folder. Thanks for visiting, Cathy x

Yay, it’s Friday! Do you have something awesome planned for this weekend? It’s a busy one for us, but I squeaked in some stamping time yesterday to make a birthday card for a dear friend. I thought the Create with Connie & Mary colors were so pretty: and the Pals Paper Arts sketch was intriguing: so here is my simple card: A couple of embossed layers, some flowers from Pictogram Punches, a sentiment from And Many More, and some seam binding and baker’s twine to tie it all up: The matching punch makes cutting out these flowers a cinch! Have a great day! I thought both kinds of “piggies” were cute in this pic!

2016 Topic 22: Alcohol Inks and Pens Wendy Videlock Well hello everyone, Darcy here, time for a brand new topic. Alcohol inks and pens are what we will be playing with over the next two weeks. A firm favourite with the colourists among you, and for those that like to coordinate colouring and embellishments. There isn't a great deal of history to alcohol inks. Solvents were first added to solid based dyes for use in commercial printers, these were needed to enable signs and banners to be printed on vinyl. The way this works is that the solvent softens the vinyl and creates the best adhesion for the colour pigments. This is essential as most of these signs are used outdoors. These solvent/dye combinations produced stunningly bright colours and before long they were in favour with graphic designers and illustrators; milder solvents were employed and the resulting inks were bottled and put into pens. For those not familiar with these inks the main difference between them and other inks is the 'carrier solution'. The ink in aqueous inks and markers is mixed with water, they are known as water-based. Alcohol ink uses a chemical carrier, a solvent. Over the years the types of solvent have changed, with modern inks using alcohol as the carrier solution. Lou Jordan Before we start, let's see who won the Topic 21: Typography,Fonts and Quotes Challenge... There were some really great entries, proving that the humble word can be utilised in so many ways. You created fabulous backgrounds and picked out your favourite words as focal points. it is amazing to see how different each piece looks, just by changing fonts and colours . The winner of Typography,Fonts and Quotes is: Julie from Picture of Faith Email Darcy to claim your prize. [email protected] Alcohol inks and markers are labelled as non toxic, however this does not mean that care should not be taken. All these products contain a solvent which is always flammable. If you are sensitive to chemicals you should also take care, ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Never add alcohol inks into a spray as the small particles that become airborne could be an irritant if inhaled. There are some fantastic benefits to using alcohol inks; they are waterproof, they can be blended beautifully, and they can be used on many surfaces that just will not accept aqueous ink. Alcohol inks can be applied by pouncing with a felt applicator or by dripping direct from the bottle. Colours can be layered and blended and some stunning combinations can be achieved. The Enchanted Gallery has some great information, including the following combination chart. As a very basic tool, alcohol inks can create some simply stunning backgrounds.Although there are many brands on the market you do not need to buy specific brands. This one uses sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol as a blending solution. As alcohol inks are solvent based you must use a solvent to blend them as water just will not work. There are branded blending solutions and also blending pens, but regular rubbing alcohol/Isopropanol works just fine. Sharpie Blog It seems the whole world is crazy for colouring books at the moment, alcohol markers are a great way to colour and blend, however be aware that most markers will bleed through the paper to the other side. Doodle Invasion This is not a problem if you are cutting out stamped images to colour in as you won't see the reverse. However you do need to make sure that you stamp with the correct ink. When using alcohol ink markers make sure that you stamp with an ink that will not react, the best I have found is Memento in Tuxedo Black. If you want a lighter almost edge-less image then try the Memento Desert Sand. This video shows some other ink pads that are compatible too. When working on paper and card make sure to use one with a super smooth surface, this will reduce the 'feathering' or bleeding of the ink outside of your drawn or stamped lines. Laura Bassen With alcohol inks you are not restricted to just paper or card, there are many other substrates to work on; these include glass, plastic, metal, acetate, ceramic, yupo. You can also work on fabric though these pieces may not be permanent. This piece is embossed metal decorated with alcohol inks. Lizzy Wurmann Here a metal washer is coloured with alcohol inks, this is a great way to make embellishments. Michelle Neddo This piece of metal was embossed, coloured with ink and then topped with a crackle paste. Tammy Tutterow Another gorgeous substrate to use is glass, here Sarah Jane colours some glass pebbles, these could be used as embellishments or made into jewellery. Or take old bottles and give them new life as Melanie has done with these three beauties. A new addition to many a person's craft stash is Yupo paper, this is a very smooth paper, the with a synthetic coating. As such it takes alcohol inks very well. Here Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith has been experimenting with alcohol inks on Yupo using stencils. How about this wonderful seahorse, also done on Yupo paper. Alcohol inks do not need to be used alone, they can be a part of your mixed media projects. Here Louise Christian has used inks as her background and added dimension with micron pens and acrylic paints. You can also create texture and patterning directly into the ink. Take a look at the great texture achieved here just by adding rubbing alcohol to fabric and pressing it into a coloured area. Jennifer Dove How about these funky sharpie tie dye shoes, if you fancy having a go or letting your children play then this could be a really fun project. SoCraftastic shows you how in this VIDEO If you need help with your blending when colouring in then Kimberly has a great video here, she shows how she uses different shades of the same colour to achieve a gorgeous blended floral layout. She also has a lots more great colouring videos on her channel. Here are some more interesting objects coloured with alcohol links. A beautiful Christmas ornament. Lullabelle An old spoon is transformed into something very special. Donna Even the humble drinks can has possibilities, here it has been transformed into flowers for this wall art. Gail It is possible to move alcohol inks around with compressed air, this card has some great layers that are built up using this method. Shari Finally HERE is a free e-book all about alcohol inks, it contains some amazing projects. Wow! so many fab ideas, go right now and dig out your alcohol inks. i bet you have some hidden away, and not used them in ages. Have a drippy blendy session and make some backgrounds, or grab your pens and do some colouring in. Don't forget to follow Darcy and Leandra's Pinterest boards if this topic pushes your buttons, you will see plenty more examples to whet your appetite there! I am really looking forward to seeing what you create over the next 2 weeks!

I have so much to be thankful for, and as we approach Thanksgiving, I am reminded of the many blessings in my life. Thanks to all of the design team members at the Freshly Made Sketches blog who have made my time as Guest Designer so fun - it really has been an amazing experience! This will be my last week as a Guest Designer, but I know that I will be playing along with future challenges. Jennifer T. has a wonderful sketch for you this week. There's lots of room to make this sketch your own. I went with apples - I am still on a fall kick, not quite ready for winter or Christmas. :) I also pulled out my Orchard Harvest dsp (I am so in love with these colors and patterns). Those little apples are just so cute (from the Perfectly Preserved set), stacked all in a row. Be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches blog and visit the rest of the design team members.
