Funky Fossil May New Release & Hochanda Show

I'm back again today with a final share of cards from the Funky Fossil new May release. Check them all out, write your wish list, tune in to Hochanda at 3.00pm and 7.00pm for some more inspiring ideas from Sarah and then get those supplies jumping into your basket.

Here's another look at all five stamp sets:

And here's my cards:

I couldn't resist building another little scene with the fun Bees Knees stamp set. I paired it up with the In The Clouds stencil and some blooms from Plant A Garden. After I'd coloured up the toadstools I added the hilly background and then quite a bit of masking went on to get the depth of look I wanted with the blooms behind the toadstools.

All three bees have a layer of Wink of Stella on their wings and glossy accents on their chubby bodies and are popped up onto foam pads.

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Bees Knees, Plant A Garden
Stencil: Funky Fossil, In The Clouds
Inks: Memento, tuxedo black, summer sky
Colours: Copic, E50, E55, E57 G21, YR04, YR15, BG01, R20, R29; Miya oil pencils
Wink of Stella, clear; Glossy Accents

Next up in complete contrast to the cutesie bees if the more realistic Bee Geometric bee.

The bees were stamped coloured and hand cut, popped up onto pads and the wings given a shimmery coat of Wink of Stella. I also added a bit of extra colour to the hexagon pattern.

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Bee Geometric

Ink: Memento, tuxedo black

Colours: Copic, C3, C5, YR04, RV00, E50; Miya oil pencils

Wink of Stella, clear

The adorable doggie Furry Friends and a get well theme feature on my next card.

I paper pieced the dog onto spotty paper and tilted him at an angle - he is poorly after all. The feeling ruff sentiment is a perfect play on words for this genre of card.

Stamps – Funky Fossil, Furry Friends

Ink: Versafine Clair, nocturne

Die: MFT Die-namics, double stitched rectangles

Paper: Lawn Fawn, pint-sized patterns

My last sample card today uses a background I created while I had the brushos out.

I sprinkled them onto a long thin acrylic block, spritzed them with water and placed the card on top to create the horizontal strip. I then stamped the In The Meadow grass and sentiment on top.

Supplies:

Stamps – Funky Fossil, In The Meadow

Ink: Versafine Clair, nocturne; Brusho on an acrylic block, turquoise, yellow, leaf green, ultramarine, purple

That's all my shares complete now, but of course the Funky Fossil DT have also got inspiring cards to show you - HERE.

Thanks so much for looking, have fun writing your order and watching Sarah on Hochanda.

Keep safe, stay home and watch Hochanda instead.
