February 7th 2015 - Card Candi 2

A chance to play with our newly purchase stamps from Woodware. The backgrounds were created using Phill Martin's spray ink misters from Cosmic Shimmer - these do not contain mica so should not become blocked.

Used Phill Martin's Graceful Mustard for the spritzed background and the PVA pearls (from Cosmic Shimmer).  The backing mat and bow are in Squeezed Lemonade (Tim Holtz Distressed Inks)

This time the backing mat is some Taupe Pearlised card and the bow is Graceful Mustard.

Spritzed background and PVA pearls are again from Phill's Cosmic Shimmer Graceful range - Lavender

Leaf colouring and green mat are promarkers.

Spritzed Background is Vintage Berry, the red mat and shading on the topper are Aged Mahogany.

Spritzed leaves are Graceful Mint - paper piecing was used to "colour" leaves.

February - Card Candi

This was a request from class members as they had a few packets each of card candi and wanted to explore ways of using them, other than as brads/gems in the corner substitutes.

First Project card - using free Card Candi stamps that came free with a magazine.

A variation of a card in the magazine article with the free stamp.

Using a stencil and adding some card candi flowers.

There are several videos on You Tube that demonstrate the making of these flowers.

Another Card Candi flower and a coordinated printed paper.

Using one of the floral bubble stamps - suitable for card candi - from Woodware

Using the large bubble butterfly stamp from Woodware, but using round peel-offs and buttons.
