A Washi Father's Day

Because I have 3 wonderful men in my life (my hubby, my father & my father-in-law) I usually run low on time to create full detailed cards with coloured images for all of them. So to make sure that I have enough cards for Father's Day (we recently celebrated) I put together this as a quick card to make sure each of the men in my life know how special they are!


Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Kaszazz 'Happy Father's Day'
Papers:  cardstock
Dies: Kaszazz Cogs, Memory Box Man Tools

Eddie & Charlie

A wonderful family welcomed triplet boys a month ago, much earlier than expected at only 24 weeks! This week they shared the devastating news that 2 of the boys had peacefully taken their last breath and grew wings. I was shattered when I heard their sad news so I went about making a keepsake for them. This shadow box card is what I ended up making. I know its not much but at least they will know that we are thinking of them.


Card ingredients include:

Papers: Kaiser Craft 'Pitter Patter' paper pack, white shimmer cardstock, blue glitter cardstock.
Dies: Spellbinders Grand Circle, Memory Box Precious Cloud, Maryanne Creatables Feet, Lala Land Folding Banner, DV 'A Little Mint' Alpha.
Other: Gathered Twigs Distress ink, ribbon, sailboat charm, brads, rhinestones.

Bokeh

Like most card makers I have an abundance of craft supplies which don't get much use, such as my Distress Inks. I saw in a magazine recently a tutorial of Bokeh. I couldn't believe how simple this technique is! So I pulled out my neglected inks and gave it a go. To say that I was overjoyed with the results is an understatement! Its such a fun technique and a great way to add colour to any CAS background.

   

Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Kaszazz Baby Elephant & various sentiments
Papers:  Watercolour paper, cardstock
Dies: Miscellaneous magazine freebie large butterfly, Dies R Us Butterflies
Distress Ink: Pink cards: Worn Lipstick, Aged Mahogany, Vintage Photo
                     Blue/Green cards: Green Moss, Stormy Sky, Broken China
Other: Twine, sequins, rhinestones, Circle Stencil, Frost White Colorbox Chalk Ink

   

Technique:

- Press the 3 colours you are going to work with on a craft sheet and spritz with water. Spray the watercolour card and smoosh into the craft mat. Lift and rotate card to pick up different colours. When happy with it, set aside to dry.

- Place a circle stencil over the dried coloured watercolour paper and sponge white ink inside the circles. Reposition the stencil and repeat, overlapping some circles for the bokeh effect. If you do not have a circle stencil, use various sized circle dies and some plastic film to create your own stencil. Build up the strength of the circles to be slightly darker than others.

- That's it, it's that simple! Finish card as desired.

As You Like It: Favourite shaped card base & why? (I use a 15x15cm square base as its the easiest shape to fold, it has lots of clean line that work well with creating symetry with CAS, and when doing fully loaded cards its great to overhang lots of the papers and elements.)
