Interactive fun

This little alien has been crying out to be part of an interactive card for way too long. So I have finally got him onto one. This card was so much fun to make. I have coloured all the elements which are from a mix of Heffy doodle Spaced out and You're weird stamp sets with spectrum noir tri-blend markers and used the coordinating dies for the you're weird and spaced out sets to cut them out. Then I added glossy accents to the port hole on the space ship and covered the earth in glossy accents. I gave the alien a googly eye and fixed the space ship on an action wobble to give some more dimension.

For the back ground I used a mix of squeezed lemonade and fossilized amber distress oxides and then used the stargazer background die to cut the stars out of a piece of dark blue card. For a little added something I also used a crystal clear sparkle pen to add some shine to the blue card. I really hope this card makes you smile :)

Love you to the moon and back

I am loving making backgrounds using the ink smushing technique. For this one I covered a whole back ground for the card to make it look like outer space. I used Squeezed Lemonade, tumbled glass, salty ocean, blue print sketch and Black soot distress oxides

I also added a lot of sparkle to the entire background by flicking wink of stella all over it and then putting some yellow bird glitter gem drops and for that extra special touch I also added some Banana split glow in the dark gem drops, so when the lights go out this card still stands out.

I have combined two of the new Heffy Doodle stamp sets for this card. The cute little spaceman and space ship are from the "Spaced out" stamp set. The sentiment and Moon are from the "You're weird" stamp set. 

They have been coloured with the following spectrum noir tri-blends:

Moon: Ice grey

Space ship: Orange, Citrus green and Ice grey

Spaceman: Orange, Earth brown, fair skin and Ice grey

I put the space man on a action wobble so he looks like he is really moving in space.

Hello sunshine!

Wow! the weather here in the UK is amazing today. I can't believe it is a bank holiday weekend and there is actually sun :D

I hope you are all having a good weekend.

I got some time to craft and have been playing with some of the newest Heffy Doodle release. I am loving this "Hello" die. I couldn't resist the "You're weird" stamp set when I saw it and the moon and this little cutie were just calling out to be coloured. I coloured the moon and the little space critter with Spectrum Noir tri-blend markers. I have to say they are a lot easier to carry a set of around than the spectrum noir illustrators.  

I used the following markers for this make:

Moon -  Brown Grey

Critter - Ice Grey and blue turquoise. 

For the background I used 3 distress oxides, Tumbled glass, Peacock feathers and Chipped sapphire. I spritzed them and then added some dots of sparkle with a wink of stella brush pen. Then I mounted that on some navy blue card. The Hello I cut twice, once in white and then in the navy blue. The white die cut I added some more distress oxides to. I used Squeezed lemonade and fosilized amber to give it some colour, and then layered the inked one on top of the navy one slightly off center so that it looks like a shadow. I also added a touch of wink of stella to it for that bit more sparkle. For the finishing touch I put the little space critter on an action wobble so he moves around :D

Colour crazy challenge - Anything goes

Aud sentiment - Masculine and a sentiment

I was going to throw the left overs from the navy blue Hello die away when I got inspired by the weather to make this next card. I used some white card that I again added some sqeezed lemonade distress oxide to just so it isn't such a bright white and has a bit of texture. Then I stuck the negative image of the Hello to it. Using a white pen I added some dots around the word and a frame. The back ground I went for 3 distress oxides ( squeezed lemonade, mustard seed and spiced marmalade) to ink through the "rays the roof" stencil. I finished the sentiment by using part of one of the sentiment in the "Quack me up" stamp set stamped in chipped sapphire distress oxide. The Hello sentiment I put on with foam pads so it stands out a bit from the rest of the card.

I hope you like both my creations and follow my little blog.
