Shaving Cream Plus Inks

Hello crafty friends, Kia here with you today to share Day 17 of Scrap’n Stamps 30 Days of Challenges which is to use Shaving Cream. I have a video for you to watch here.

In the video Lydia describes what she does once the shaving cream is applied to the card. I do not do this, I leave the piece to dry as I like a crisp look, which takes awhile. I left these for 90 minutes to dry, and they were still damp. So be sure to use freezer paper to wrap the panel when die cut to protect your plates, and when applying glue to the back place the panel on a paper towel.

 For the left card I used reinkers and alcohol inks for the middle and right cards.

As I wanted the backgrounds to be the star, I kept the cards clean and simple.

I used my Penny Black Elegant Stitched die for the card above and have added Nuvo Glitter Drops to the flower centres as well as a few falling from the sentiment.

Again, I used the Penny Black Elegant Stitched die on this card and the Hello die is cut 3 times, glued together, then I painted it with Nuvo Glitter Gloss.

For this card, on my card base I stencilled using my XO Mask stencil along with Opaque Matte Embossing Paste. I fussy cut the Heart and glued to the card base on the left side then used foam squares on the right side. The sentiment is stamped and glued to the card, and the you is glued on the left with a foam square supporting it on the right.

I have more of the backgrounds I made using this technique which can be found here.

  I hope you will play along today, and upload your creations to our Challenge Page.

Hello Crafters, Kia back with you today bringing you a card that I made for this blog.

When I was thinking about what I wanted to do, I only knew I was feeling “pastels”, which is rare for me. Usually I go for the vibrant colours. But it is cold today and Pastels have a way of making me feel warmer. Strange, I know!

For this card I am using Picket Fence Studios Wild Rose, which I think looks fabulous with the Pastels, hence the cards name.

I am using Gina K Design Ivory cardstock for my base card, where in my Misti I stamped the image using VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne. I then removed the card base and replaced it with a piece of Tonic Watercolour A2 card stock and stamped the image again, using the same ink. I normally would do this after I had the ink down, but I wanted to know where the flowers would be for adding my colour. I then die cut the piece using my Stitched Rectangle die.

For the background of my watercolour cardstock I am using Distress Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick and Cracked Pistachio. I made puddles using the inks in the same order as above, and spritzing with water then dabbed the card stock in the puddle in puddle, repeating with the Worn Lipstick then the Cracked Pistachio drying between each addition of ink.

Once dry using Kuretake Gansai Pearlescent watercolour paint in Pink, I added splatters to the card panel.

I added fun foam to the back of the panel using my Scorpal/Be Creative tape and affixed the piece to my card base. I then stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair Ink in Glamorous and went over the sentiment with some Wink of Stella, then finished up with a scattering of sequins affixed with Nuvo Adhesive.

This was a fun card to make, and an easy card to make.

This beautiful stamp is from Colorado Stamp Company and is called Missing You Peony. It is part of their Big and Bold Line of stamps, and I love it.

To start this card I knew I was going to down size the stamp. In doing this I needed to stamp and fussy cut the stamp on photocopy paper, as I would be doing some masking.

I am using Arches 140lb Cold Press watercolour paper for this card. I wanted my card panel to be 4.5 x 4.5 inches and not the 6 x 6 inches it is intended to be. In order to accomplish this I would be using petals from the flower as leaves, keeping them trimmed so one would not really notice that they were not “proper leaves”.

 

I masked off the petals I wanted as leaves and stamped the other petals using Ranger Ink in Vibrant Fuchsia. I then masked off the petals and stamped the leaves using Ranger Ink in Olive. This ensures that the details from the stamp remain and do not wash away when I watercolour.

To watercolour I am using Kuretake Clean Color Brushes in 2 colours only, being the Dark Pink and Olive. To lighten where needed I am watering down the colour.

To mat my piece I added cardstock in the deep pink and olive green colours, then attached it all to a pale green card base. I did this as some cards just do not suit a white base, and this is one of them.

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of the Arches watercolour paper using VersaFine Clair Ink in Glorious and attached it to the base using foam squares. I then added a few Nuvo Glitter drops around the card to finish.
