Just Be for Leonie

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my new email follower :o)

Today I have another unseen card from the archives, using the Just Be stamp set by Leonie.

First I drew a pencil line across the bottom of some white card and stamped the words on, lining up the top of the rubber stamp with the pencil line.

Then I inked and stamped it again to line up with the first one.
I stamped the beautiful fairy in just above the words

and coloured her in with Graph'It markers. The wings were stamped separately onto vellum and attached with Collall Photoglue after colouring.

For the background layer I ran some white card through the 8x8 version of the Leaf Vein embossing folder from Crafters Companion and coloured the edges with one of my markers to match.

For embellishments I rootled in my stash and found these lovely jade coloured beads. I fed some gold wire through the centres and twisted into a little loop to hold them in place before twirling the tops of the wire around my pokey tool (to match her curly hair).  They were attached with Collall 3D glue gel to the back of the sentiment (also from the 'Just Be' set).

I finished off by stamping the single flower from the 'Just Be' set several times onto thin card, which I then coloured and cut out. These were attached with more 3D glue gel.

Thanks for stopping by,

The Birds for Leonie

Hello lovely peeps and thank you for visiting today, it's means a lot to me.
First off I'd like to welcome my new follower, I'm thrilled to have you here :)

I've got another sample to show you from Leonie's launch show last night.
This time I've used the bird stamp from the Just Be set

To make my background I scribbled Bud Green, Sunflower and Rose Pink Spectrum Aqua pens onto watercolour card, spritzed it with water and dried with a heat gun.

Then I stamped the bird with black archival ink, covering with post-it masks as I went

Once I had covered my piece of card I coloured a few of the birds in with the same pens.

It just needed trimming down a little then to fit into my frame.
