Magic Colour Slider Card

I love making cards that challenge my creativity and this one sure did but it was fun to put together.

I cased this design from the very clever Jennifer Frost www.jenniferfrost.blogspot.com, by following her simple video tutorial. You can view it here. The magic happens when you pull on the top tab and the cover slides up to reveal a colour version of the fairy.

I used the Fairy Celebration stamp set and the Garden Impressions designer series paper and matching card stock. The stamp set is so sweet, the images can be stamped and left uncoloured or you can colour the stamped images with Stampin' Up! blend markers or water colour them with the aqua painter which is what I've done here.

Fairy Celebration Stamp Set

Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Garden Impressions Cardstock

When using the aqua painter, stamp your image onto water colour paper with black StazOn ink as it is alcohol based and it won't run when the water is applied to it. The water colour paper is especially designed to hold the water and keeps the paper flat.

The Garden Impressions designer series paper reminds me of my favourite season spring. It is still so cold and rainy where I live so these designs are brightening my day. Hopefully the warm weather arrives soon!

If you love creating different styled cards, give Jennifer's tutorial a go and share your creation with me, I would love to see it! If you do share it, please tag Jennifer as the original creator. Thank you.

Global Design Project Challenge #222

Hello and thanks for stopping by. It has been such a long time between blog posts! I hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. My family and I visited Qld for the break and so glad we did as our home town and surrounds were impacted by devastating bushfires. It is heartbreaking to see so many people and animals lose their homes, and some their lives. Let's hope that the worst has passed, my thoughts are with everyone impacted. This year I have set myself a challenge to create and share more by entering card challenges regularly. The first one of the year is with the Global Design Project team. I really enjoy these challenges as they inspire me to create and give me ideas and inspiration. This is a sketch challenge - the idea is to interpret this sketch and make it your own. I used the painted poppies bundle and the peaceful moments bundle plus the coordinating peaceful poppies designer series paper to create this thank you card. The sentiment is heat e...
