Design work...

Over the Summer I was sent some gorgeous K&CO bits to work with for Karen at Charmed Cards and Crafts.  I made a fair few projects, so this post is very picture heavy.... ;o)

Tando Leaves....

Happy Sunday!  What a mega rainy day it is here.  Yesterday was lovely though - not that it matters much as I was inside crafting anyway!  I had left the weekend free to catch up with DT work and to get some crafting done.  I have been playing with some Tando Creative chipboard, white-lined, leaves for the Tando DT, together with lots of lovely Prima and Viva Decor!  What a lovely combination to work with.....

 

Ingredients for both cards:

• Tando Creative - Leaf Group Pointed
• Prima 6x6 Paper Pad - Jack and Jill
• Prima Flowers - Roosevelt Deland
• Prima Flowers - Solid Coordinates Jack and Jill
• Prima Butterflies - Vlinder
• Prima Stamp - Jack and Jill Sky
• Prima Pebbles - Music Notes
• Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Stamp - Pattern Pieces
• Viva Decor Inka Gold - Green Yellow, Old Silver
• Ink Pad - Archival Ink-Sepia

The Tando leaves I used were white-lined so the Inka Gold just smoothed on beautifully, no preparation needed.  For the green leaf I stamped the leaf with the Prima Stamp and Sepia ink and dried the ink using a heat gun.

Ingredients for Tag:

• Tando Creative - Leaf branch with loose leaves
• Prima Flower - Autumn Harvest Clore
• Prima Butterflies - Vlinder
• Viva Decor Inka Gold - Green Yellow, Old Silver

I embossed the whole tag using a Sizzix Tim Holtz embossing folder.  I then inked over the embossed design using an orange ink pad and some Inka Gold.  The white-lined leaf was covered with Ink Gold Old Silver first and then a little of the Green Yellow.  The little 'gift card' is K&Co.

OK, must go and shift my daughter and one of my sons - can you believe they are still in bed?!  Mind you, teenage years and bed are very close friends aren't they, lol.
