The Craft Room, Derby: Spring Forward with Fancy Phrases

Sunday

Spring Forward with Fancy Phrases

Good morning. Slightly overcast in Derby at the moment and a chance of rain at 11am says mr. weatherman. It wont deter me from getting in the greenhouse and giving it a sort out. I have been gathering seeds and today is the day that I would like to start planting them up.

We had a lovely Zoom get together on Friday evening. We made three cards and focused on a Stamp set called Fancy Phrases.

Do you have this set? At the moment it is discounted and it will be unavailable to purchase as from the beginning of May (it will also become unavailable if the stock runs out). If you click on the photo you can see that the blue card with a Basic White panel has been stamped in the corners, a tone on tone card. The area where the ribbon is has been stuck down and we have created a background with the smaller of the stamps in the set.

The Rich Razzelberry and Basic White card again was stamped in the corners with Momento ink but this time, the flowers were coloured in using blend pens. We left the leaves without colour and added some coloured in basic rhinestone gems.

The Balmy Blue and Melon Mambo card had the image stamped on Shimmery White or Watercolour card using Stazon ink. Once we coloured it in (using the ink from the ink pad lids and water with a paint brush/water painter) we trimmed down the edges with the SU trimmer and just snipped away at the outer leaves. Again, some coloured rhinestones were added. If you would like a little more information or if you would like to have a go at making something like this, I will be very happy to help.
