Chill with music

 Lockdown can be a really stressful time - I like to chill out in my craft room with my inks and paints - some like to listen to music - why not do both?

Here’s my Chill card made using one of Picket Fence Studios Beautiful Girls stamp and the Chill sentiment from Sunshine Bee Designs.

I stamped the girl on a small piece of card using black onyx Versafine and coloured in with watercolours. I then fussy cut it out.

Using Distress Oxides I made 2 backgrounds, one in hickory smoke, the other in the denim blue.   

To give the background depth, I second generation stamped an old music score stamp out of my stash randomly on the blue background using Smokey Grey Versafine, randomly.

I cut this layer to fit nicely inside the grey background and applied silver Gilding wax around the outside, then mounted onto a black layer.

Next glue the Beautiful Girl onto the bottom Left corner.

Stamp the Chill stamp using Black Versafine onto the blue background.

Attach all the layers together and add to an A5 card blank.

All done - hope you enjoy using these techniques.

Bye for now

Here is my Part of the Pack card that was made using the Part of the Pack stamps by Picket Fence Studios.  This stamp is packed full of stamps - 8 in total and is very versatile.  

I stamped the image onto 6" square piece of stamping card and coloured using Nuvo alcohol pens and highlighted areas with my coloured pencils.  I painted in some green grass using a green watercolour paint to ground the dogs.  I added the sentiment and drew a border around the card with a black fine liner adding crosses in the corners and three dots a little higher up on each line. I then mounted it up onto black and sparkle green card and adhered it onto an 8" square card.

Here is another one I made for a friend leaving work.  I added my own sentiment using alphabet letters and a border stamp from my stash and some green backing paper.
