JANE'S THINGS WITH WINGS

Hello STAMP friends, it's Jane here again. Unbelievable this is my 4th and final installment of my Things with Wings "specials". For my final projects I made 2 spring themed cards. One with a very mixed media background, the other with a simple distress ink blended one.

For my first project I made a spring time bird card. I used the Some Birds stencil on an ink sprayed piece of watercolour card to make my background using gold embossing paste.

I then added some layered die cuts using For the Birds and Make a Wish

Here is my card:

For my 2nd card I went for a more simple background. I stamped my design in black and clear embossed using the Bliss sentiment stamp and the dragonflies from Winged Things. I then blended my distress background.

I added a few final touches to make this card:

If you would like to see more step by step details and some close up photos please visit my blog, Jane's Journal. I have really enjoyed making all my projects for my Things with Wings specials and I really hope you may have gained some inspiration from them too. 

Take care! 

Bye for now,

TANJA'S THINGS WITH WINGS

Hi there, it's Tanja here and this is my fourth Things with Wings Special Feature Project Post for STAMPlorations:

• stamp one of the butterflies from the Grateful Flutters set with Lawn Fawn River Rock onto a piece of Strathmore toned grey cardstock
• color the image with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers and add extra shading with Faber -Castell Polychromos pencils
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with that same grey ink
• stamp the dot pattern from the Mixed Media Grunge set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Midas Touch embossing powder
• add shading around the edges of the panel with Distress Oxide Ink Pumice Stone
• add two strips of foiled cardstock to the left and the right of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

***

• create a background on an old gel print using white gesso, tissue paper, gel medium and Alcohol Ink (Mushroom, Gunmetal)
• apply Grit Paste through the Make Marks 5 stencil and let this dry thoroughly
• cut out the birds from the For the Birds die set from woodgrain paper and shade the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
• dye a piece of cheesecloth with Distress Oxide Spray Spun Sugar 
• add some splatters with Distress Spray Stain Tarnished Brass
• use a sticker from the Hey Sunshine set as the sentiment

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
