Celtic Fox Paper Craft

  It's swaps time again! For those of you who don't know, I'm part of the Crazy Crafters Team, and for each new catalogue, we will do "swaps" where we each make 10 of the same card, and send them off to our team leader, who mixes them up and sends us 10 different cards back. I love it because I get to see the creativity of my peers, but also some new sets that I may not have considered before :) This is the card I made and sent to my peers using the Expressions in Ink suite of products - I used some of the designer series paper to layer underneath and used the large die cut in Basic White, and made a white layer with a circle shape cut out. The sentiment was stamped in white embossing onto Basic Black cardstock and cut around the edge, then finished it with some Matte Black Dots. A full list of products used is listed at the bottom, but first, check out the swaps I received from my talented peers! Aren't they a talented bunch! You can find all of the products ...

  Today's card showcases another of the masks from the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks, paired with the Biggest Wish stamp set. To make this background, I used three different coloured inks and a blending brush to make an ombre effect. I embossed the 'BIRTHDAY' in black and the 'happy' in gold gilding, and wrapped the card in Pale Papaya ribbon.

    Two of my new favourite Stampin' Up! items are the Biggest Wish stamp set and the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks... and what a lovely complimenting pair! The stamp set includes large bold words and beautiful script words, and the set of masks includes 4 sheets of beautiful patterns. Here, I used one of the masks with the watercolour pencils to make a bright and colourful background and used the blender pens to blend the colour through.  I tore a piece of vellum and embossed the sentiment in black, then used Heat & Stick powder and the Gold Gilding Embellishment for the "happy". I finished it off with some Matte Black Dots...💗 If you are interested in any of the products I used today, please see a list of products below with links to my store.
