Just for you card using the babywipe technique and the Watercolour Wings stamp set by Stampin' Up!
Monday, September 5, 2016 Somerset, UK
This card has been made using the baby wipe technique, I've never used this technique before and had never heard about it until I went to the On Stage Local event by Stampin' Up! in April. I was having a lovely meal at Nando's with some fellow demos and it just came up in conversation. I can't believe that I had never heard of it before!
I only have Stampin' Up Ink Refills for the colours I use the most so I picked all the colours I thought would go well together. I then took a few sheets of babywipes and placed them down on a craft mat and then dropped a little bit of each colour all over the babywipe in random patterns. I used Island Indigo, Pool Party, Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, Perfect Plum and Smoky Slate - what a great colour combination!
I love this effect as you will never get the same look twice!
I've not had a lot of time to craft in the last few weeks. I've just had a look at this weeks Global Design Project - its fab, so I am going to try and get some time in my craft room this week so I can join in with this week's sketch challenge. Until then.....
Please vote for my thank you card showcased in Kylie's international blog highlight!

Kylie is fantastic at bringing demonstrators and crafters together and showcasing their talents. Its lovely to see women supporting each other, especially seeing it was International Women's day earlier this week!
The theme of today's Blog Highlight is Thank You. Crafters from all over the world will be voting for their favourite projects showcased on Kylie's blog.
My project is a matching set of cards and gifts bags that I made to say thank you to attendees at my very first craft workshop. The gift bags contained an assortment of chocolates, needless to say they were gone in no time!
To see pictures from the workshop and the coordinating projects we made for Mothers Day, please click here!
I used Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Rose Red ink and the Watercolour Wings, Watercolour Thank You and Timeless Textures stamp sets to stamp the design on the front of the card and the gift bags.
I even made coordinating tool kits - how cute are these?
Inside each thank you card was a gift tag numbered 1, 2, 3 or 4 made with the Number of Years stamp set, the Large Numbers Framelits Dies and the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.
I placed the four cards down on the four tables randomly and the guest who had number 1, won the Watercolour Wishes Card Kit! No-one walked away empty handed though, the other three guests all took home enough supplies to make 3 cards from the You're So Lovely Project Kit!
Please vote for me!
I hope you've enjoyed looking at my projects today! I would be so happy if you could vote for me by clicking here to visit Kylie's website.
To vote, all you need to do is click the heart symbol in the top right hand corner of the photo. You can place 5 votes in total and it would absolutely make my day if you choose my card as one of your top 5.
If my card receives enough votes to make it into the overall top 5, I will get a chance to take part in Kylie's international blog hop!
Pinkies Blog Hop - Sparkling Watercolor Wings Butterfly card using Stampin' Up! products on World Card Making Day 2015
Saturday, October 3, 2015
Welcome to another Pinkies Blog Hop! As it's World Card Making Day today, we hope everyone will get some time to craft, and we've created some lovely projects to help inspire you to create your own beautiful card. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!
If you have arrived from Clare's blog, welcome! I am so happy to be sharing my Sparkling Watercolor Wings Butterfly card that I've created for you.
I made a similar card a few weeks ago but I decided to step up the design by adding more details to the background and adding some much needed sparkle.
To make the background I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I started by stamping the splatter effect using Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum & Wisteria Wonder ink. Using the same stamps I then used Versa Mark ink to stamp more splatter effects.
Next I sprinkled Heat & Stick powder over the Versa Mark ink, tapped off the excess, then used the Heat Tool to make the powder tacky. I then sprinkled Silver Stampin' Glitter over the spots (again, tapping off the excess) and used the Heat Tool to set the glitter in place.
You can buy this stamp set as part of a bundle including the Bold Butterflies Framelit Dies. When you buy a bundle you save 15% of the combined price.
For this project I used the both the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies and Butterflies Thinlit Dies to die cut the small and large butterflies. It was so simple and quick and by using these dies, its gives my finished card a more professional look.
For the inside of the card I used the the stamp set included within the Watercolor Wishes kit. I stamped the sentiment Happiest Birthday Wishes using Elegant Eggplant ink. I chose this stamp as I love the font but you can use any stamp set and sentiment of your choice.
Initially I couldn't decide whether to use Heat & Stick Powder & Stampin' Glitter or just Stampin' Emboss Powder. This version has been made using Island Indigo, Pool Party & Soft Sky ink and Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. The effect is not as glittery as my featured project but still has a beautiful shine when you catch it in the light.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my projects today, please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by and click here to subscribe for craft project ideas and inspiration 3 times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays & Saturdays.
Next up we have Tracy who has created a lovely card for you today..... thank you for taking the time to look at the wonderful cards the Pinkies team have created for you on World Card Making Day 2015!
You are so kind handmade card featuring the Watercolour Wings Photopolymer Bundle
Wednesday, September 2, 2015
You can make some truly beautiful cards with the Watercolour Wings Photopolymer Bundle. I have completely fallen in love with this set and I am now wondering why its taken me so long to use it?
There are so many possible colour combinations that you can use for your butterflies. Take a look at this blog to see pictures of some wonderful colour combinations that Heike Vass from Germany has put together.
For my butterflies I've used Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette & Rich Razzleberry.
I love the 2 step stamping method using the photopolymer stamps. Its so easy but if I could give you one tip today it would be this:
Don't stamp the body of the butterfly until after you've die cut the shape out in your Big Shot.
You can then line up the butterfly body stamp with the paper so that it's in exactly the right place. Its pretty much impossible to be able to stamp this perfectly beforehand. unless you are not die cutting your butterfly of course.
I tried a few different backgrounds with this card - various different Designer Series Papers and the leaves from Kinda Eclectic, but none of them was the look I was trying to achieve. I am so glad I picked up my Gorgeous Grunge stamp set as this was perfect. I stamped off to get a more subtle look and added some Rhinestones for a bit of sparkle.
I also love decorating the inside of cards. The sentiment on the front and inside of this card are both included in the Watercolour Wings stamp set. The fonts lovely and look great stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White cardstock.
I hope you enjoyed this project today. Next up is some Christmas Cards on Saturday. Its a Pinkies blog hop too so there will be loads of amazing projects from my Pinkie sisters. See you then!
