Skull and Cross Buns - Hochanda Showcase Selection 3

Hi guys

I'm back today to share a few more of the samples I've made for Skull and Cross Buns ahead of the show on Hochanda here in the UK tomorrow, Thursday 5 September at 4pm.

I'll get straight to it.  Here's the first...


On a die cut panel of kraft cardstock I used the Hundreds and Thousands Confetti Large Stencil and created the shadow effects, first by inking through with Distress Inks and then by shifting the stencil slightly and inking a second time with white pigment ink. The panel was popped up onto the card base using fun foam.  I then die cut one circle from vellum and another from pink cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment in white and silver from the Retro Sweeties clear stamp set.  A couple of the cute acrylic sweets from the Retro Sweets Embellish! set were added to finish.  Love the detailed etching on these.


Materials used:
  • Dies: Create a Smile - Double Stitched Rectangles; Hero Arts - Infinity Circles
  • Stencil: Skull and Cross Buns - Hundreds and Thousands Confetti Large Stencil
  • Ink: Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon; Versa Magic - White Cloud; VersaMark
  • Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White, Metallic Silver

Next up is a card which may look familiar as I made a very similar one in a different colourway, here...


Instead of the standard natural colours of leapard print I used the Leopard Animal Print Large Stencil here blended with pink in onto pink cardstock.  I die cut the cardstock with a large balloon die and adhered this on 3D foam to the corner of the card and tied some pink twine around the base.  Directly on the card base I stamped the 'happy birthday' from the Quirky Sentiments set, 'party' from the Tropical Party set and the individually coloured letters from the Lightbox Love set.


Materials used:
  • Stencil: Skull and Cross Buns - Leopard Animal Print Large Stencil
  • Die: MFT Die-namics - Blueprints 26
  • Stamps: Skull and Cross Buns - Quirky Sentiments, Tropical Party, Lightbox Love
  • Ink: Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick; Versa Color - Orchid, Opera Pink, Pink; Versafine - Onyx Black
  • Twine: Hemptique - Ruby mix

Last up is a really simple make...


I die cut a panel of lilac cardstock using a stitched rectangle die and inked through the Cloud Rainbow Pattern Stencil using white pigment ink.  Once dry I adhered the two closed eye eyelashes from the I Believe In Unicorns Embellish set.  I stamped the cloud from the Planner Banners set and within it stamped 'dream' from the I Believe In Unicorns set, fussy cut this out and then stamped two of the thought bubbles from the I Believe in Unicorns set and coloured these in with a white pigment pen.


Materials used:
  • Stencil: Skull and Cross Buns - Cloud Rainbow Pattern Large Stencil
  • Ink: Versa Magic - Cloud White; Versafine - Onyx Black
  • Die: Create a Smile - Double Stitched Rectangles
  • Stamps: Skull and Cross Buns - I Believe in Unicorns, Planner Banners
  • Accents: Skull and Cross Buns - I Believe in Unicorns Embellish! set
