Foiln Frenzy Tip for JAI#393 and GDP#122

Hi there, today I wanted to share a quick tip with using the Foil Frenzy Specialty DSP(144125). This is a heavy weigth kraft card with foil designs printed on the paper - random spots, stripes and a chevron pattern. You get 4 colours in the pack - Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Tangerine Tango and Soft Sky. I love the kraft card but did you know you can sponge and stamp on the card to change the kraft colour? too easy and such a great effect.

I am not a huge fan of Lemon Lime Twist (I know, I'm in a minority) but I wanted to participate in the Just Add Ink challenge and my friend Lou Kitzelman on the design team commented on one of my other posts that she hoped I would come to love this colour so I have given it another shot!!  I don't love it on its own but it is quite gorgeous combined with Tranquil Tide, so I have watercoloured a strip using both, and stamped the leaves from Painted Harvest using both and then I took a strip of the Foil DSP and whacked the inkpad down to add a heavy layer of tranquil tide. once you wipe away the excess you have the benefit of the resist technique and the ink changes only the kraft card.
I love the sketch layout from Global Design Project so that was a good direction to follow to construct this card.


You can see the effect more clearly on this sample strip where the ink starts and finishes.

It's a bit hard to get the effect in a photo so here's a different angle.





Since I was covered in ink - and I need a few birthday cards I made another card to show you how stunning it is.


 Here's the shiny foil from a different angle.


 Thanks for stopping by today, if you want some foil DSP for yourself I can recommend it. You can find it in my online store using the images below.



I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

  1. Oh Liz! This is absolutely stunning - so many little bits and pieces all coming together for one gorgeous card! I love the colours on your watercoloured background and colouring the Foil Frenzy DSP is a stroke genius - an idea I definitely need to nick .... if I may! PS Love how you have shown LLT some love!

  3. I just love how you used the greens as the primary colours Liz. There is so much depth of colour especially when you add in some lovely watercoloring! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.

  4. These are both gorgeous cards Liz. I love your water coloured panel on the first card and all the details you've added to add depth and texture. And your colouring of the Kraft card stock really is so clever and makes a perfect background to the dots on your balloon card too. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
