Sue CT– Jubilee

 

Hi everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the Platinum Jubilee celebrations happening this week.

If you don’t already belong to the group, come and join us for loads of fun and a great group of Bee Crafty addicts.

Inktense Blocks

 

I decided to use my Inktense blocks this week for a change, but you could use colouring medium that you like to create the background. I started by painting a random skyline on the page and then allowed to dry.

 

Next, I used the clouds Inkable and Ranger Matte texture Paste to create the clouds in the backgrounds. Once this was dry, I used the Inkable Skylines to create a series of hills with my Inktense blocks.

 

I then resized the pennants from Bev’s download, printed them several times and cut them out.

 

Next, I stamped the Sky Terrace house on Ecoline paper along with several trees and clouds from this and the other sets listed.

I painted them with the Inktense blocks and then die cut them out using the matching dies. They are fairly easy to cut but the dies make it a lot quicker and easier as you can cut several different shapes with just one pass of your machine.

 

Using a pokey tool, I made a small hole in the corners of the pennants and threaded them onto a piece of sewing cotton to give the impression of flying. I then attached them to the corners of the 2 houses I was using to look festive.

Finally, I stamped the words onto a scrap of white card and backed them onto black to make them stand out. I used a black micron pen to create a border around the edge of the page.

 

 Thank you for looking at the blog this week. I hope you all enjoy the Jubilee weekend and get a chance to relax.
