Alex Syberia Designs - Modern Weave Layering Stencils

-

 Hi all 

So before Christmas I pledged towards the Alex Syberia Designs full release bundle and I was so pleased when they had reached their target as this meant their first physical product went straight into production and I received the bundle just before Christmas.

I have now been able to spend some time today playing with the Modern Weave stencil which is just amazing! So versatile and can be changed up with colour to create all kinds of backgrounds for all style of cards.


In this colour example, I used Distress Oxide colours. I used pine needles, lucky clover and twisted citron. The stencils are so easy to line up and they are numbered so it takes the guess work out of knowing which one to use first. The stencils are really sturdy so you won't have any problems with them bending out of shape.

Other examples of the backgrounds I created are below:


In this example the Distress Oxide colours I used were - peacock feathers, wild honey and picked raspberry.

Here are the other backgrounds I created today -



I will be using these backgrounds to make a bunch of Birthday cards to add to my stash. Which I will be sure to post to show you how they all turned out. If you have never heard of Alex Syberia Designs I encourage you to check them out and for those of us that are in the UK, they are also based in the UK so the products will be easily accessible should you wish to try some of their new release out.

Happy Crafting all Mel x

Polakdoodles - Critters/animals

Morning crafters, today I've created a card with the DT theme of Critters/animals. Since I adore cats, I could not help but use  Mod the cat . In order to create my scene, I also used the chair , rug and picture frames from  Build a scene .  For the images inside the pictures, I used the butterfly from  Tropical sorbet bundle , the vase of blossoms from the  Blooms 4 bundle  and last but not least the Bear from  Bella Bear with Heart .  For my background, I used  the yellow floral paper to create wallpaper  from pretty spring papers and for the floor I used  brown textured paper  from the cactus succulent printable papers.  I coloured the images using my spectrum noir alcohol markers and finished the card using the sentiment 'I'm so sorry' which is from the  Winnie Daisy quotes and sentiments bundle .  I think the card just shows you how versatile all the different images and bundles are from Polkadoodles and sho...

Polkadoodles - Mermaid/Ocean - using a specific colour palette

  Good Morning everyone, this morning I bring to you an infinity shaker card which I have created with the theme of Mermaid/Ocean and using a specific colour palette. I started my project by working on the background, which I ink blended using distress oxide inks using the above colour palette. I sprayed with water giving an oxidized effect which looks like bubbles. For my image, I used  Winnie Mermaid Mermazing - Octopus Kisses , as you can see the image also matches the suggested colour palette. It was almost as if this image was made for this challenge. For my sentiment I used 'You are my rock' from the  Winnie Mermazing Mermaid quotes . I hope you all love this project as much as I do.  Happy Crafting!

   Morning Crafters, It's choosday which means it is time to enter our 'Anything Goes Challenge' over at  Polkadoodles Digi Choosday .  Remember to check out the blog for full details and to grab your code to receive a very generous discount from the  Polkadoodles shop . For this weeks design team brief we were asked to create a project for the theme of 'Just Because' For my project I have chosen to create a card.  Just Because cards are my favourite to make as the recipient is never expecting it and they always have the biggest smile on their face when they open the card. I have chosen to make a square card using the  Winnie Wednesday Bat Dog Pre- coloured image . Using Canva I first created a spider web which I then coloured half of it in very bright colours and then for the right half of the spider web I chose to colour with Grey and black tones. Some of you will know where I got my inspiration from with a certain popular TV Series that recently air...
