Cards for men

 I have always struggled with cards for men as I am sure lots of folk do.

These cards certainly fill this problem. I used various Pearl card from my stash and the presscut layering dies. It was a bit time consuming but worth the effort. Finished off with JND dies, I find these so useful.

Coloured Pencils

 A couple of weeks ago I did a virtual workshop with Jo Firth Young (Jofy) using black card, coloured pencils, stencils, white pencils and white gel pens. I thought you might like to see some results.

Izink liquid pigment inks

 This week I have been playing with liquid pigment inks. I have used these so far on glass and material. This post is about how I worked on material.  I used Pink Ink Stamps I have used these in the past with different mediums to colour and then embroidered . But this time I used Izink liquid inks from Crafts Too I used with water, applying a small amount of water and then ink and more water to blend. I have also applied some straight from the bottle using a very fine paint brush.

Washi Tape

 I had forgotten how useful washi tape is, both for adding highlights and making backgrounds. For these two cards I took a piece of white card and firstly cover the card in washi tape using different colours to create a pattern. It is then easy to use as backgrounds and die cut etc. I have used mostly John Next Door dies and my favourite shape at the moment hexagon. Die set from Presscut.
