QuickQuotes PowderPuff Chalking Inks Techniques

Hi everyone, Gabriela here with a video tutorial about ways to use your PowderPuff Chalking Inks. I typically use inks for distressing edges, but there are many other ways to use them. I will be showing how to make a patterned background using a few paper stencils and some ink blenders.

So I am really trying to keep up with this! I designed this card for one of my friends who does ballet workouts! I came up with the drawing, fussy cut it and then did a watercolor background. 

Making my drawing. 

Marker outline. 

First layers of color. 

Almost done. 

Finished. 

I used foam tape on my fit chick and cut a craft dowel down to make the barre. I have a post for Quick Quotes coming up soon and after that I will be reviewing the Zig Clean Color 48 pack. Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting! 

My first post for Quick Quotes, On the Fence

Hello everyone Gabriela here with my first project for Quick Quotes. First let me say that I am delighted to be joining this talented group and I am really looking forward to the year!

This is a sweet card that could be a Valentine's Day card or just a card to say I love you.

I started with Farmhouse 104

I cut a piece to A2 size, 4.25" x 5.5" and then added the scallops to make a fence by tracing the bottom of a small container.

Then I used Powder Puff Inks on my craft mat with a water brush to add some aging to the fence. Shown here are Mahogany, Milk Chocolate, and Navy.

I pressed the ink pad onto my craft mat and then used a water brush to pick up color.

Then I cut out 3 small banners from a Words & Phrases sheet and inked the edges.

Then I punched holes in the tops and threaded them onto a piece of  ribbon. Then I applied double sided tape and cut a semi-circle out of one of the fence panels to make it look more real.

I decided to ink a background that would show behind the fence just a little. I used heavy weight white card stock for my base.  I wanted it to look like the sky, so I used Navy, Seabrook, and Aqua inks.

After seeing it, I decided it needed some grass, so I took a scrap piece of white card stock and inked it up using Green Leaf.

I drew some grass blades and then fussy cut the whole thing.

I attached the grass and that completed the card.

I hope this inspires you to have some fun with your supplies, happy crafting!

Be a Peacock!

So I have been participating in the #sisterswithheartinart challenge on IG, and every week there's a new prompt, this week was  "Peacock", so I took it all the way. I started by drawing on black card stock.

I used Prismacolor pencils. 

Then I colored the body in and cut out the outline. 

Just the body, but I left the bottom connected. 

Then I got my bag of feathers. 

Might be messy... 

Then arranged them behind the body. 

First feather. 

Then I attached it all to a distress inked background. I also hand lettered the quote and mounted it on glitter paper. 

So many feathers! 

This did take a while, but It was really fun, next post will be my first post for Quick Quotes! Happy crafting!

10 Minute Monday - 1

This is the first in the 10 Minute Monday series and it's really like a 12 minute Monday because I did add some distress inks and a little Wink of Stella off camera, but I did it really fast, so it probably only added about 2 minutes, haha.  I will be posting these once a week and hopefully I will get down to 10 minutes total. You can see the video below!

Hope you enjoyed that and check back later this week for another tutorial that's a little more in depth with some techniques.  Happy crafting!
