CTC#171 Gorgeous Foil papers in the last weeks of Sale-a Bration


Welcome back to CTC using the Sale A Bration products as inspiration. I am using the gorgeous foil paper again which is just so lovely to colour. I don't know if there is a name for this technique but it's a lot of fun and gives amazing results.

  • colour the glossy foil using the alcohol blends Blends pens 
  • swipe your classic inkpad over the entire sheet ( This is water based ink)
  • wipe off the excess ink with paper towel
The Alcohol ink behaves the same way as the emboss resist technique so that the coloured images don't take any of the water ink. It's a bit scary to swipe the ink over but such a cool result.



I have CASED the layout of the card on the front of the brochure. I like the stamped card panel with the thread wrapped around with a vellum shape and the sentiment flag adhered over the vellum.





I used the light and dark coral inks and the old olive  ( I really hope they bring out another green ) and for the first panel I used the Wisteria Wonder inkpad.

For the second card I used the Night of Navy inkpad. - My colouring wasn't quite as exact on this one but I am still getting used to the blends pens.


Next this week is Julia. I know she has another lovely project to inspire you.

 Before me this week is Rachel

Sadly there's only one more week of Sale a Bration for 2018 so if you would like to get some of this amazing paper for yourself it is free with any purchase of $90. I'd be happy to help you with your shopping if you need some advice, or just click on the shop now rainbow button on the top left of this page. 


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

  4. Oh my - I so did not notice the vellum on the card in the catalogue - one of the many many reasons I really LOVE our CASEING the CATTY challenge! These cards are so glorious and beautiful and colourful. I really love colouring with the blends too and you've done a great job with the DSP. I have added the daffodil delight or the bermuda bay to the old olive when I colouring with the blends and that gives you some awesome different shades of green - you'll love it!!

    1. Thanks for the colouring advice, I'll have to try that. I must admit I haven't blended different shades yet, must be my next challenge!

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
