DT Deni - Animals

Good Afternoon Everyone,

DT Deni here today sharing a card with you following on from our theme of "Animals" for the month of August.

I have used a stamp set from Stampendous House Mouse Collection called Cling Balloon Surprise.

The image has been stamped on Mondi Color Copy 250GSM with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink using Misti Stamping Tool (with rubber removed).

I must say how impressed I was with this stamp, I don't think I have ever used any of these stamps previously but the stamping of this image was absolutely spectacular..it was a crisp clean stamp and I was super impressed with the details on the first stamping in that I didn't even need to stamp it a second time.

I coloured up the image using Copic Markers. I did have a Copic Colouring and Process Video but unfortunately lost it all in the editing process, can't even tell you how upset I was :-(, after many days of computer issues I was slightly let down.

**EDIT - How lucky am I!! I found my videos and was able to save them woohoo! So at the moment I have the Copic Colouring process for you here, and the process video here.

So unfortunately this is a quick blog post with not much information as everything was thrown out after the video was made (I will make sure I start writing everything in a book from now on hahah).

Thanks For stopping by,

DT Clarinda - Mothers Day card - ssshhhh don't tell

Hi peeps,

This time I have what I think is a gorgeous card for Mothers Day. I have used watercolour paint to paint in an inked image. It was fairly simple but I love the finish it gives and the messy way it looks. I hope you enjoy it.

I began by cutting out the outside frame using Spellbinders dies - Triple floral using the largest die, I cut this from a piece of cardstock (with a print on the other side) and then sprayed with Lindy's sprays in various colours to give a watercolour look. Once that was dry, I used glossy accents to adhere small bling gems to the centre of each flower.

I then cut the inner two pieces of watercolour cardstock using the next die down in the set. the inner square frame I covered in crystallina glitter glue and used that to stick down pieces of Stampendous Frantage Shaved Ice to give that holographic look. Once that was dry I covered the entire square frame in glossy accents so that it has a glass appearance.

The stamps were stamped onto watercolour cardstock using archival ink. The stamp set I used was Happy Birds by CTMH. I then painted them using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour pigments using a 'wet in wet' watercolour technique to ensure the colours bled into each other.
Once the front was complete I used a Spellbinders Labels 4 die to cut the shape for the inside sentiment.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Until next time.

Colour With Me Tuesday 5 - DT Deni

Hi Everyone,

DT Deni Here,

My Live colour along has now finished so here I am giving you all the info on what was used :-)

Today I have used a stamp from Stampendous! called Cling Rose Bloom. I have used Tim Holtz Distress Markers to colour it up.

Watch my broadcast at http://ustre.am/1aeDL

I have only used one marker on this stamp which was Barn Door, you can also use Distress Ink Pads. All you need to do with them is press them onto an acrylic block and pick up the colour using a fine paint brush or a Water Pen which is what I have used in my Colour Along today.

I have inked the stamp up using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink Pad Black Licorice.

The Water brush I have used is from Faber Castell, Auzz Trinklets can order all of the products used in todays tutorial for you just send them an email via the store.

Hope you enjoyed my colour along, here is a picture of the end result.

Thanks for stopping by
