Elizabeth Craft Asian Accesories on a Slimline card

Hello and welcome to my latest project.  I used lots of different dies and distress inks with a great collection of papers from DCWV.  I began with a slimline kraft card base.  I added a layer of DCWV Far East paper cut with a Pinkfresh Studios Slim Edgers die.  

I cut three circles of same paper collection with stitched circle dies.

I added three different die cut images on each circle from Elizabeth Craft Designs Asian Accessories dies.  I used more DCWV paper for the fan.  I inked white card stock with Distress Antique Linen for the fan hold.

I inked the rest of the die cuts.and pieced them together with a fine tip glue pen.  I purposefully inked the cups in a lighter shade than the teapot.

Ingredients:

Elizabeth Craft Designs Asian Accessories dies

Our Daily Bread Designs Double Stitched Circle dies

Pinkfresh Studios Slim Edgers dies

Distress Oxide inks including Hickory Smoke, Antique Linen and Pumice Stone

DCWV Far East paper stack

Quick Quotes Mocha Moma Powderpuff chalking ink

Zen Thanks with Elizabeth Craft dies

Hello, today I made a fairly simple card enhanced by themed printed papers and inked cuts.  I began with the  Elizabeth Craft Asian Accessories set.  I knew I wanted the umbrella shade to be cut from a pretty floral paper.  I chose the background paper and cut the rest of my pieces.

I cut the umbrella handle and rocks in white card stock.  I used Distress inks to color them.

I manipulated the embossed lines in the umbrella to create dimension.  I cut the sentiment from coordinating paper.  The resulting card is about as clean and simple as my work gets.  Therefore, it's my zen thank you card.

Bonsai in Art Nouveau Lotus pot for Bitten By the Bug 2 Anything Goes Challenge

Hello, today I am making my debut with Bitten By the Bug 2 design team.   I decided to mix up some carts for a fairly intricate card.  I just love it when all the little pieces cooperate.

I used the Art Nouveau cartridge for this lovely water lily bowl.  I thought it looked like a fine planter for a couple of Bonsai trees from the Pagoda cart.

All the papers are from DCWV Far East stack but the dark brown tree trunks.  It really added to the overall Asian feel of the card.  I inked all the edges generously with Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking inks.

Ingredients:

Cricut carts:  Pagoda and Art Nouveau

DCWV Far East papers

Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking inks:  Dusty Rose, Green with Envy, Midnight Confessions and Vanilla Cream

Quick Quotes Inking on vellum

Hello Quick Quotes readers!  Alicia with you today and I have been playing with some Powder Puff Chalking inks.  I was experimenting with some vellum and embossing folders.  I made a three cards for a wide variety of occasions. Vellum can be so versatile.  Don't forget to check out Quick Quotes wide variety of vellum quotes.  Here are some tips I discovered while playing:

• Chalk on the back starting lightly, you can always add more to achieve your desired effect
• Layering the vellum on a white or a light color will allow more true color to show

• For more coverage use a brush or large sponge (blue water)
• For more detail use a cotton swab or small sponge tip (fish)
