Bubble Bloom Lilly if you are Feeling Blue Why not Paint Yourself a New Color?

Why not paint yourself a new color?

I have used one of Jane Gill's popular Clear Magic Bubble Bloom stamps this one is called Lilly and is from the July 2016 release.

First I stamped and embossed in silver, and then coloured the petals with Koi Brush Pens, place my foam pads where I planned to put the Card Candi and then started adding the Mark Richards 5mm Pearls.

I realised that I didn't like the blue of the leaves, so I added another colour on top, you can see the aqua colour on its own too. I rather like the 2 tone effect on the leaves.

The Card Candi is Time Flies and I added Glossy Accents to the aqua bubbles. the tiny bubbles have been Stickled with Aqua.

The papers are Time Flies too, I hope that you can see that I have sprayed the background paper with the blue colour from the Rangers Dylusions Mica Sprays, it is very subtile but lovely, of course it shows up more on dark papers.

I have embossed in silver around all of the layers.

I made a mistake when I was putting the card together and had trouble added the ribbon, it should have been added before I put the layers together!

I stamped and embossed the greeting from the same stamp set on the Time Flies paper, and used the Tag Top punch.

Time of Mellow Fruitfulness

Well I thought that I would have had them all stumped with this one, but Crafty Debs has done a great job with this theme.

Crafty Debs has used Jane's Bubble Bloom Linda and I like the way that Debs has used it in the corners of the card. Crafty Debs has stamped and the coloured with the Sakura Koi Brush Pens. They have then been covered with Glossy Accents to make them look like lushous berries ready for the birds to feed on.

Debs has stamped the greeting, from the same stamp set, on some ripped vellum. The regular size maple leaf which has been punched from inked card so they and to that autumnal feel.

Blooming Gems

Last this week on our bling bing is Kim

Kim has used Jane's Bubble Bloom Lynell, any of Jane's bloom stamps would be great for using up gems but Lynell works really well.

Kim has stamped and embossed in black to give a strong line for the gems to stand out against.

Kim has then filled in with a mixture of Pearls in various sizes, Elements and Nailheads.

Kim has stamped and embossed in black around the edge of the red panel. A touch of Stickles adds some extra sparkle. I hope that you can see that Kim has used a touch of bleach to take out some colour from the flower heads around the edges.

I love this card a great use of gems and a wonderful way to show case the bubble blooms Kim has of course got an extra card over on her blog so pop over and have a look.

Black and White Bubbles

I love black and white cards, they can look very elegant and are great for Christmas too. 

Kim has used a Bubble Bloom designed by Jane.

This is Bubble Bloom Linda Kim has stamped and embossed the main image in black on a circle of white card.

The bubbles have been coloured with Sakura Glaze Pens in Black and White. With a touch of sparkle from the Sakura Silver Stardust Pen.

The background has been created with the same stamp and coloured in the same way. Kim has added some extra tiny bubbles too.

The happy greeting is very clever, it has been stamped and cut from one of Jane's new Christmas greetings. This one is Hand Drawn Christmas, and a very useful Christmas stamp it is too. Kim has added some black ribbon under the greeting.

If you hop over to Kim's blog you will see a second take on this great elegant card from Kim.

White Embossing and Card Candi

On the Woodware blog this week we are looking at White Embossing

I have used my favourite Bubble Bloom, I know that they are all lovely but I really like Jane's Curly Sue Clear Magic stamp

I have stamped and embossed with white powder then coloured in the leaves with Tombow Dual Brush Markers. When you have a coloured card, use a lighter coloured pen as the coloured card will darken the effect.

I then added Card Candi this is from the Christina pack, the colours were chosen by Jane. I have attached the Candi with 2mm mounting pads.

I have layered the card on some Hairy Manilla and embossed around the edge with the Stampendous Snow Spoonful Kit. The kits are a great way to use Frantage, the elements have all been mixed for you.

I have done a second card for you too, with the same stamp,

this time I have used  the Venetian Card Candi and Silicone Glue to attach the Candi, can you see my messy bit?

this card I have just layer on the Royal Blue Recycled card.

Now to show you how to do it properly.....
