Hello everyone, Joni here with another tutorial sharing how to do a splattered background with distress inks. On this project I used the new Rainy Days Additions and Fox Friends stamp sets and Fox Friends Coordinating die set.

To begin I first stamped the sentiment from Rainy Days Additions stamp set “joy and sunshine” with Versamark ink and then white heat embossed with white embossing powder. Next, I distressed it with Wild Honey, Worn Lipstick, and Evergreen Bough.

Next, I smooshed some of the distress ink on the acrylic block, I added some water and used my brushed to gather the colored water and splattered it on the white panel. I did used all of the three distress inks for splattering.

Next, I colored the fox with Copic markers. I stamped the puddle of water, clouds and umbrella from the Rainy Days Additions stamp set. The umbrella handle is from the original Rainy Days stamp set.

This image below is showing you the water puddle. Such a simple image but it adds so much to the card!

The die-cut images for this project were adhered with foam tape for dimensions. I also added the new Pewter sequins which I think is my new favorite now. The sentiment “sending you” is also from the Rainy Days Additions as well.

Here is a detailed look at the card.

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here to share a couple Butterfly theme shaker cards again using some of the NEW release from Pretty Pink Posh – SOOOO much to love!

For these cards I combined the large butterfly die from Blissful Butterflies Coordinating Dies with some of the smaller images from the Blissful Butterflies Stamp Set – and some distress inking, one of my favorite techniques lately!

To begin with, I cut my card front using the fabulous new Storybook 5 die from white cardstock, then cut it again out of kraft cardstock to get the center windows. I then used the large butterfly die to make a window for my shaker.

Next, I used some Versamark ink to stamp the solid tiny butterfly from the stamp set randomly over the white background, sprinkled with clear embossing powder, and heat set – at this point, the butterflies are invisible…

 

THEN – I blended distress inks over the background – see how the white butterflies magically appeared? Then I took the tiny outline butterfly stamp set, and stamped it around the outside as well, but in the same distress ink color as was blended on each area – in this next photo, you can see how the right hand card front was already done this way – doesn’t it add so much to the background?

 

Finally, I added the butterfly trail to the shaker part, and stamped a sentiment from Camping Friends Stamp set, and heat embossed them both in white, then added the acetate and foam adhesive to these pieces to form the shaker element – which is filled with the new size 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins – such a PERFECT size for shaker cards, and I’m pretty sure they are extra sparkly!!!

Here is a close up look at the finished cards:

See what I mean? Don’t you think those sequins are especially sparkly?

I love how just changing the distress ink colors helps change the entire feel of the card:

That small size sequin moves especially well in the shaker cards too – small enough that I only had to use one layer of foam adhesive, and it still moves freely.

Hello everyone, Joni here sharing these new cute fox critters from the Fox Friends stamp set and the Fox Friends Coordinating die set. I also used the new Stitched Hexagons dies. Today I want to share with you how to ground images using your Copic markers.

To begin, I first distressed an A2 white card panel then die-cut on the upper right using the medium sized Stitched Hexagons dies. At the bottom of the panel I drew 2 lines using a pencil mark (see: arrows). This will serve as a guide on where to put some grass and dot images using Copic markers.

Next, I using YG95 and G99 to draw my grass and dots for my ground.

I added more color of Copics to make it more realistic look. I used E31 and E57 for the add on.

Next, I removed the pencil marks. For the back of the hexagon, I distressed some piece of white cardstock using Distress Ink in Wild Honey. Next, I adhered the piece of cardstock with foam tape for dimensions even though it’s a background.

Then, I added some water splatter and gold splatter using the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.

I adhered the die-cut images with foam tape for added dimensions. I also added some of the new Tropical Flowers sequins (orange color). I also include some of the Sparkling Clear sequins to finish off the card.

Here’s another look.

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here with a couple cards using some of the brand new Pretty Pink Posh products releasing in just a few days!!! So excited for all the new goodies!

My kids both know how much I love foxes, so whenever there is something with a cute fox, they always point it out to me. So as soon as I saw this cute new Fox Friends set, I knew it would be the first thing I would want to play with! I mean, look at those cute fox faces!!!

I also used a brand new border die that is releasing – Scallop Border Dies. I love the combination of the scallops and stitching in these! I used two different color combos – so I cut the bottom edge off of a gray and kraft piece of cardstock so the bottom third of the white card base is showing.

 

Then I stamped and die cut the foxes with their coordinating dies, and some speech bubbles for the sentiments using Stitched Speech Bubbles Dies – the perfect size to coordinate with these.

I wanted to add some inking to the bottom of my card bases, so I taped off a line so I knew where the inking needed to go – that way I made sure to have coverage where I wanted, but didn’t have to waste any more ink than necessary. I also added some splatters of white paint by mixing some white paint with water in a Mini Mister, then removing the sprayer and flicking a bit on.

 

The second one felt more like fall colors to me – the red is deep and rich.
