Hello Everyone..
So we all know I loved playing with the frogs...well, I love playing with swans too..more new dies from Buddly Crafts they ship over to here so fast 7 days..boom..
A slightly different and fun technique for me too..
Lots of die cutting on this day [ about 2 weeks ago] and sponging colours through the dies and hand colouring bull rushes, [ but now I found an easier way and so much more quicker..show you later..]
So I discovered in my local stationary shop Linen texture card stock..not new but I've never thought about it before..
I wanted to make a solid back ground and so swiped the panel with the ink pad...as the ink dries it fades and goes all nice and soft..in colour.
Looks like a blotchy mess here, but the photographer is pants and IRL they are really nice.
Added my water lilles and swans...die cut sentiments and gems for some sparkle
The lighting was shocking and the background do not look very good..
Gosh, my room is either too light or too dark for photos..this is the best of a bad bunch..
So while I'm here, here is some more frogs..
Thanks so much for stopping by..See you soon..
Luv CHRISSYxx

Chrissy those swans are just gorgeous too. You are so creative and you got some wonderful dies. You are just having too much fun!
I know...Buddly Crafts are amazing and have such fantastic stock. You have done an amazing job with your new stuff. I love the inked linen card, what a great idea xx
Love love love the gorgeous swans and the cute little frogs! Chrissy. All these cards are fabulous! :)
That's a fab idea Chrissy. I think I have some linen card so must give that a go. I just love all your beautiful creations today!!
The inked linen paper looks wonderful - what a great effect, and so simple just swiping the ink pad across the texture. The swan cards are so elegant, and I love the air-brushed effect on the water lily petals. The frogs are so cute!
