Creative Team Precious Petal Cards

by Peta Burrows

Peta created this beautiful card earlier in the year for a class that was taught in store. She uses the Crafts 4U Precious Petals Die Set to create a simple layered flower that she has coloured with Distress inks. She has added some stamens to the centre and a few drops of transparent Jewel drops on the petals that make it look like there is dew drops on the petals.

So today I have a beautiful Butterfly card with the IO Butterflies stamp set and the C4U Claudie Butterfly die. I started by heat embossing butterflies onto watercolour paper using VersaMark embossing ink. I then watercoloured the stamped panel with Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst Alizarin Crimson, Yellow Ochre.

 

 

Once the watercoloured panel was completely dry, I mounted it on top-folded white card base using C4U double sided tape first, and then added the sentiment & Claudie Butterfly die cut using C4U foam tape.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Today I have a watercoloured CAS card with Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst: Alizarin Crimson and Yellow Ochre.

 

Before applying Color burst, I brushed on watercolour paper with clean water. I then applied Color burst powder on a wet watercoloured surface. I spritzed Alizarin Crimson (red, left) first, lightly brushed red colour and then added Yellow Ochre (right).

It’s my first time to use Color Burst. The colours are so vibrant and beautiful!!

 

I die cut butterflies from white card stock using the C4U Mable Butterfly & Claudie Butterfly die cuts. They are so pretty!!

I stamped images onto watercolour paper panel using VersaFine Pigment Ink Smokey Grey, and then loosely water coloured the stamped images with some Distress inks and a wet paint brush.

Once the water coloured panel was completely dry, I placed the floral frame die cut and some paper flowers onto the panel. I love these Little Birdie Flowers so much!!



I mounted the water coloured panel on white card base using Crafts4u double-sided tape first, and then added the floral frame & paper flowers onto the card front using Crafts4u foam tape.

More watercolour fun

Yesterday's post focused on the Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastels, so today we will share this video on the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and Faber-Castell Gelato's and the differences between them:

We have the original 3 sets of the Distress Crayons on special at the moment here
and the Gelatos are available here

Endless Possibilities

In the world of watercolour we are spoiled by the variety of products available - Gelatos, distress crayons, distress markers, inks, sprays etc. Then Prima has (what seems to be a contradiction) - Water Soluble Oil Pastels, but this video shows just how versatile they are and how easy they are to use (it is a long video crammed full of different techniques, so maybe make a cuppa and get comfy):

We have them on special at the moment here
