IndigoBlu Blog: Cartography

Hello Everyone!

Zoey here today to show you the last card I made using IndigoBlu products! I had fun playing with the new Cartography Mixed Media Card Stack and Mega Flakes! The card collection is awesome and the Mega Flakes are just the best thing ever! Perfect to add just the right shine to all your projects!

I choose one patterned paper from the Mixed Media Paper Pad 6x6 Cartography and covered the sides with tape and then IndigoBlu Gee-Sso Good - White to tie everything together. I let it dry and mixed in a bit of IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paint Goldfinger and IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paint Postbox Red.

To add some more interest to the background I stamped here and there with StazOn Mini Jet Black and Indigoblu Grand Tour I.

I stamped IndigoBlu Flutterby Dinkie with StazOn Mini Jet Black over a piece of card stock and then I used Indigoblu FlitterGlu to stamp again the IndigoBlu Flutterby Dinkie. I covered it with Indigoblu Mega Flakes Lancashire Rose and removed the excess. LOVE the result!

I stamped the sentiment over another piece of card stock always using StazOn Mini Jet Black and a text from IndigoBlu Boadicea. I love to be able to stretch stamps to get the sentiment I want!

Finally I glued the sentiment, stitched around the sides and attach my background to the card base.
And here's the final result!

Stay happy stay creative, till next time!
Ciao, Zoey

Cartography LOVE canvas

Today we are entering the moth of love. February is also the Heart Disease awareness month in many countries around the world. Since I work as a nurse specialising in Heart Intensive Care I wanted to celebrate February by making a canvas with a heart as the focus.

I have used a chunky canvas that I first painted with white GeeSso Good gesso and then covered with strips of a paper from the Cartography A6 Mixed Media Paper Pad.

I cut out a heart by hand from a piece of white card stock, painted it with Postbox Red paint and then before the paint was dry I applied Black GeeSso Good gesso - the end result was a brown-red almost rust like finish.

The pattern was made by using Mega Flakes (Eaton Mess) and the new texture stamp from the Teeny Background stamp set. The alphas were also painted with Copper Metallic paint and then when dry I just dabbed on some Flitter Glu on and applied Mega Flakes. Love how they turned out!
