Three Cards With Same Techniques.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog today

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. Its been a bit crazy around here. I only have five shifts left in my job and its getting a bit nerve racking. Everyone's been saying how hard it is to get a job and I have never been without a job for more than a couple of weeks. I just hope I find something soon.
I've also been busy sorting out my crafting area. I've been searching the web for some ideas on how to store things.My crafting supplies are growing at a speed I cant quite keep up with. I will share it all with you when I have finished.

Today I am here today to share some of the cards I made the other day. I had no time to share them with you then, so I thought I'd share them with you now.

For the first card I made the background using Distress ink. I blended the browns and yellows and I think it looks really nice. I used my Lawn Fawn Critters Down Under stamp set and colored them in using Letraset Promarkers. I adhered the koala and the bird to the tree using pva glue then stuck all the images to the background using glue as well. 
   I Stamped my sentiment using white Ink but it didn't come up right so I waited for it to dry then went over it with a silver metallic gel pen. These pens are handy for little mistakes like this and I'm glad I bought them when i did. 

 After making my mother a new home card I decided to make another. I used my Paper Smooches bitty bungalows stamp set and used most of the images. I colored them in using Promarkers 
and stuck them to the background using pva glue. I used glue because there was so much to go on the card I didn't want to spoil it by using dimension. I stamped my sentiment using my alphabet letters from Hobby Craft. I bought it on sale weeks ago.
The background was made using distress inks and a blending technique. I used my greens to get a gradient look. 

The last card is another kitty card. I used Distress inks in the same way as before only this time I used a light purple blended in with a pink. I really like how this background turned out. I colored in my images using promarkers and stuck them down with glue. I tried my white ink pad again with no luck and used my gel pen over it to cover another mistake.


I stuck all my card front onto some plain card stock using foam adhesive squares. Over all I'm happy with my cards. the same techniques can make very different cards.
