Happy Friday! I'm sharing another greeting card today, I'm just loving all the pink and olive tons in the Seriously Caffeinated Kit from White Rose Crafts. It is just too cute and well I love coffee so this kit has been a match made in Heaven.
The White Rose Crafts - Coffee Kit is packed with Echo Park Coffee & Friends Collection. It is seriously fun! I used the small card base included in the kit and adhered it to an A4 size Cardstock. This little card will only open on top.
I used the KaiserCraft Ink - Gum Paste (included in the Kit) and stamped on the card base with KaiserCraft Stamp Set - Ubud Dreams (NOT included in the kit).
Hello! Alison Heikkila here. I have a new mixed media card to share with you today for the White Rose Crafts Shop. I started off with a monoprint that I made on my 3" x 5" Gel Press during a FB Live, and was inspired to pull out the Steampunk Alchemist from AALL & Create once again.
The monoprint was made with a few colors of Golden Fluid Acrylics and the Heapza Hexagonz from AALL & Create. The green used on the stencil is what inspired me to give the alchemist his velvety green coat. I stamped him with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and then I colored him with Copics.
I tore the edges of my monoprint, but the white edges were too...white, so I applied some Antique Linen Distress Ink reinker to those edges with a brush, and it dulled it down perfectly. I used the reinker because I wanted those edges really saturated. I ink smooshed Ground Espresso Distress Oxide all over my card base for some interest. I popped up my chemist with foam tape and decided I needed another element. So I stamped out and colored one of the bottles from the Steampunk Alchemist set and tucked it underneath him. I had some old Tim Holtz Halloween stickers laying around, and that's where my sentiment came from.
I love how old all of the elements on this card look. It's a lot of fun to pull colors from monoprints to help you steer the direction of the rest of your projects. I'm finding that the Steampunk Alchemist stamp set is so versatile because it has a ton of stamps in it. It's just fun to experiment with them all (pun intended).

I used the White Rose Crafts - Coffee Kit I just can't seem to move on! It's packed with Echo Park Coffee & Friends Collection. It is seriously fun! I used the 4.25 x 5.5 card base and cut it in half.
Hello! Alison Heikkila here. I have a new project for White Rose Crafts today, which uses a Gel Press print that I made during a FB Live (check it out HERE), plus Distress Oxide Inks and some AALL & Create items. I love making mixed media cards, and I am really happy with how it turned out.
I really wanted to use the seahorse from AALL & Create's Sea Life stamp set, which I also used in a post last week. You can check that out HERE. I pulled out a bunch of my monoprints and chose a 3" x 5" print that I thought worked well with the sea horse. It was made with acrylic paint from Golden and Deco Art Media, and has the Lotza Trianglez stencil and a brick stencil from Studio Light. The one I used is sold out now, but this one HERE is still available.
I decided that I would stamp the seahorse image twice. Once directly on the card, and once on another piece of cardstock so that I could cut it out and pop it up with foam. I stamped it both times with Twilight VersaFine Clair ink and clear heat embossed the one I cut out. I also inked that one with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink.
I wanted to integrate the print into the card base a bit better, so I added some Twisted Citron Distress Oxide to my work surface, spritzed it with water, and smooshed it on to my card (I had not yet added the popped up seahorse yet). I dried it with my heat tool and then I did the same thing again, but with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide. These colors really pulled out the green from the monoprint nicely and tied everything together. I wanted a bit more texture, so I added Sea Breeze Jewel Drops by Nuvo, which is my favorite of all the Drops. I added droplets on various parts of the card as well as on my die cut sentiment. This color really looks like water to me.
When I have a gel printing session, I accumulate a lot of prints quickly, so I really try to use them on different projects so that I don't have too many to sift through. Using them on cards is a great way to get through the stack, especially if you have stamps that have a grungy or collage-like look to them. White Rose Crafts has lots of wonderful products that lend themselves perfectly to this style. And if it's not really your thing? They have plenty of other products that you're sure to love.
