Off The Edge

June "Off the Edge"...Group of Seven Cardmakers

I am thrilled to be invited by Loll to be a "Honorary Member" of

the creative Group of Seven Cardmakers😄  

I do LOVE techniques and treasure all my friendships

with the wonderfully talented Group of Seven girls😊

There is no technique for this month.  Instead,  the group has created cards

with a design element.."Off the Edge".

A matching Page for this post is added to the sidebar of the Group

of Seven Blog as a reminder of the design element.  

My 1st "Off the Edge" Hello Card...Enjoy!

Quick CAS card design using the "Off the Edge" design element.

I used another background from a previous play using the 

Group of Seven April 2023 Alcohol Inks on Gelli Plate Technique.

Click on the above link for All the Gelli Plate details!

I loved the technique and have made 14 backgrounds..so far:-)

I used an A2 sized piece of SU Poppy Parade CS for the card front.

Then attached to Ninnah Solar White Crest 110# Card Base.

Scored the die cut circle and tucked inside so you can see it when the card is opened.

Attached with Connect Glue.

Used MISTI to stamp the Altenew "African Daisy" sentiment.

Added sequins from my stash  and Done!  I loved the results:-)

My 2nd "Off the Edge" Card.

I stamped "Off The Edge" the Stamplorations "Blossom Sprays #2"

 beautiful floral image designed by Dee's Artsy Impressions 

for STAMPlorations and then stamped

the Penny Black "Special Sentiments" sentiment using MISTI and

 Versafine black ink onto an A2 Canson Cold Press Watercolor paper.

 

Then removed from MISTI and heat embossed the images with SU Clear EB Powder.

Then the fun began watercoloring with Zigs.

I chose bright cheerful Summer colors😊

Next trimmed the card front a bit and framed with SU Basic Black CS.

That really made the CAS image pop!

Group of Seven Cardmakers May Blending Ink on Colored Paper

Another fun technique from the Group of Seven Cardmakers!

Ink Blending on Colored Card Technique.

Be sure and check out all the fabulous cards by the Seven Cardmakers,  Detailed

instructions and this very helpful Video: Be Bold and Add Drama by Jenny!

My Ink Blending on Colored Cardstock Card..Enjoy!

I started with an A2 size of SU Daffodil Delight yellow cardstock.

Then stamped the Altenew "Paint a Flower: African Daisy" with Clear Versamark ink

using MISTI.

Next heat embossed with Wow Opaque Bright White EB Powder.

Then sponged Black Soot Distress Ink around the edge of the A2 size card front

using an Altenew Mini Blending Brush. Then blended Spiced Marmalade Distress ink

 using a mini blending brush towards the flowers,  but not the center.

I also made sure to blend the pumpkin pie ink into the black!

Next I used my TH spritzer to add water droplets to the background and then

dabbed the background with paper towel.

When the background was dry I lightly splattered with Posca Black acrylic brush pen.

To lighten up the card front I die cut with Pinkfresh Braided Oval die

so more of the Daffodil Delight yellow cardstock showed thru...

I used the smaller oval die from the set to cut a piece of craft foam and

attached to the back of the die cut daisy image, 

which popped it up just a bit! A cool effect:-)

I 

Then attached to Ninnah Solar White 110# Card Base and Done!

I am looking forward to using this Blending Ink on Colored Paper again!

Thank you GO7 Girls for another fun Card Technique!

Love and Hugs,
