Quick Card Share from Mike Deakin

Hi Everyone - Mike here with a couple of quick A6 card shares for you today using two of the fantastic new release stamp sets.

The first is the "Drive Fast" stamp set teamed up with the older but very versatile "Script" stamp set with some cogs and gears for decoration borrowed from the "Fly High" stamp set also featured in the card below. The backgrounds were created using "Vodka Martini" & "Kingfisher Blue" acrylic metallic paints applied by hand with a piece of "Phat Foam".

All images were stamped using Jet Black Archival Ink. The "Script" stamp was stamped in the background using "Sepia" Archival Ink.

They're very quick and simple one layer cards but with the metallic paints in the background, it gives them some real depth with that lovely metallic lustre shining from the back!

Hope you like them!

Hi, it's Elizabeth here sharing a project made with the gorgeous new Roses Stencil and the yummy new Kingfisher Metallic Paint and Lime Marmalade Cottage Garden Paint.

I cut out the butterflies from my piece of 12"x12" Floral Fantasy Mixed Media Stack and mounted my photo onto a piece of scrap black card.

Then I cut the rest of the Floral Fantasy card into strips and adhered them to a plain piece of 12" square card, along with a couple of plain strips. Once the glue had dried I gave them a light coat of White GeeSsoGood.

When the GeeSso Good had dried I stenciled Fine Modelling Paste through the gorgeous new Roses Stencil.

Once the paste was dry I started to build up the colour by spritzing/splattering diluted Kingfisher Blue making sure the Roses were coloured. I then did the same with the yummy Lime Marmalade Cottage Garden Paint and added some Butterflies from the Floral Fantasy Stamp Set stamped out in paint.

To finish off I added charcoal pencil along the edges of the paper strips to give some shade, and a few splatters of diluted Black GeeSsoGood to ground the photo, added the butterflies, gems and word from my stash.

Hope you enjoy the new products as much as we all do, see you soon.
