The Glittered Poppleberry

 Good evening crafty friends! So tonight I wanted to share a simple Halloween card with you all! The cute pumpkins were cut using my Cricut explore air 1. I coloured them using my zig kuretake clean colour real brush markers using a water brush to blend the colours.  After cutting a square from plain white card, I inked it using my cosmic shimmer chalk cloud blending inks. I applied a grey using a blending sponge. Once dry I glued the pumpkins to the bottom half of the card and trimmed off the excess. With a white gelly roll pen, I wrote out the word "Boo!". I accented the word with a glittery gelly roll pen. I adhered this panel to some scrap patterned paper using collall glue. To finish up, this was all glued to a white card base. I'm loving using my new machine I cannot wait to have a proper look at all the SVG cut files available. Thank you for spending some of your day with me.  Ellie x Products: Zig Markers Cricut cutting machine Gelly roll pens Chalk cloud ink Sent...

  Good Morning lovely friends! I hope you all have a fantastic start to the week, I have a week off which i plan to thoroughly enjoy and do lots of crafting! Today I wanted to talk Halloween and share some crafty Halloween bits I have been doing. I have always enjoyed All Hallows Eve, the history of it and the magical feel that night has. Now I get to enjoy it further my creating spooky makes that are great fun! Yesterday I began the tedious but necessary task of clearing up my craft desk. Then got crafty... So to begin my Halloween crafts series, I thought I would start with a simple card.  First I used two distress inks, Carved pumpkin and crushed olive to make my background. I used a wet paintbrush and applied the green ink first followed by the orange to create a watercolour effect. Next using a garnet ink from Artistry inks with a stencil from Clarity Stamp. The stencil is called a 7x7 Art stencil and is a grungy frame effect. I applied the ink using an ink blending brush...

Good afternoon everyone! So today I would like to share an art journal page I have just finished. Here is the step by step :) I began with a black page, I applied white acrylic paint by pebeo. I did this roughly as I wanted an imperfect look. Next I used my fingers( yes get stuck in hehe) to apply blue paint and blue stamp paint. Again do this messily, it's not meant to be perfect. I next, using my finger, again, smeared the page with little areas of crazing medium. I dried this with a heat gun. This is the result so far. You should be able to see little areas of white peeking through. If not, get the white and pick a finger to scribble some on with. I next used an alphabet stencil from clarity. I applied seedless preserves oxide ink using a sponge. I moved the stencil about as I didn't want straight tidy lines. Heat dried again. Grab some patterned paper that matches the colour scheme. Tear bits up. I stuck these torn pieces down with Matt mod po...
