I had a wonderful time at the mini show at the Holiday in Kent on Sunday meeting so many lovely people. One of the demos I did was this piece I have used for the centre of this card. I love getting the pieces I have made on demos home so that I can, with my full craft stash as I can't take everything with me, make these into finished cards and samples.
Today's card is made using my Oval jedi-late as well as just 2 colours of ink and 3 stamps! I stared by adding blue and purple pigment into the media plate. I then brayered this to smooth the ink and used 2 of the leaves from my circle leaves set to stamp onto the plate to pick up the ink and then stamping this onto the card. I continued removing the ink and adding it back on 2 corners of the oval. This gives, as shown stamped images that have both colours.
Next I stamped the oval so that the areas I had removed the ink show as shadowed showing the white card below. I added more of the blue ink using the mini blending tool ( Finally back in stock for next Tuesday's Hochanda shows) and stamped this to gradient the oval.
Once I got the piece home I added some shaded roses at each end along with leaves cut with scraps of card I had cleaned my brayer on ( I run my brayer over plain card to clean it between uses which makes a brilliant shaded piece perfect for die cutting)
Enjoy...
Morning John, a gorgeous card and beautiful colours.

Morning John, oh this has turned out amazingly, I had the very great pleasure of seeing you do this one on Sunday, you were so popular with everyone crowding round you all day, you must have been so tired, but everyone was over the moon with what you were doing, hope you hurry back soon. The colours of the matt and layering really do set this off to perfection, as you always do.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

A beautiful card John. Thank you so much for sharing this and giving us so much detail of how it was made. Very busy day today and another one tomorrow. Take carexxx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card, John. A clean looking card with great colours, stunning focal point and complimentary mats and layers. Thank you. Crafter by the Sea, north Norfolk. Take care. xx
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card John. You are a very popular man and do great work. I would love to visit one of your shows but with my very limited sight and even more limited hearing it would be too frustrating for words. (Tried it once and it didn't work)
ReplyDeleteYOU DID IT AGAIN..THIS IS A STUNNINGLY, BEAUTIFUL CARD! Again, ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES, and I have quite a few of yours that I just love..IS there any place we can see how you make these cards? I live in the US? IF there is anyone who can tell me I would appreciate that to. I am a more visual learner, but I THINK I could figure it out. I would still like to see John as he makes his cards..THESE COLORS are my Favorite Colors to work with especially in the Spring and Summer...Thank you again, John.
