Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung AhSang here, and I am so excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. If you’d like to follow my crafty projects, my blog is jungahsang.wordpress.com, and my Instagram is @junglebarrya.
Today, I’m working with the Paint Your World collection by Vicky Papaioannou. I love this collection of paint brush die cut shapes, with some beautiful florals and butterflies mixed in.
For all three of my cards, I started out by die-cutting the pieces from each set. For all the paintbrushes, I die-cut the paint brush handle from craft cardstock, the ferrule and handle end piece from brushed silver cardstock, and I cut several pieces of the bristles from cream cardstock to give the brush a fuller look.
Slimline Rainbow Painted Blooms Card
For my first card, I made a slimline card, featuring the Painted Blooms die set. After assembling the paint brush, I diecut the leaves and flowers. I added the leaves to the paintbrush under the ferrule. I set that aside, and started working on my background panel. Using my paper trimmer, I cut strips of colored cardstock, and adhered them on a piece of thin copy/printer paper in rainbow order. I trimmed this panel to about 3 ¼ x 8 ¼ in. I used foam tape to adhere the rainbow background to a white slimline cardbase. Then, I adhered the paintbrush to the card using more foam tape.
Slimline Butterfly Burst Card
For my second card, I made a mini slimline card, using the Butterfly Burst die set. After assembling the paintbrush, I set it aside, and worked on the background. Using a piece of waterfall colored cardstock, I added a little bit of ink blending to create an ombre look. I used one of the Precision Layering Mini Slimline dies to diecut the panel a little smaller than the slimline. To add more interest, I used the Head in the Clouds embossing folder. Then, I added just a little bit of white paint splatter. I attached the background panel to a white slimline card base with foam tape, then adhered the paintbrush using more foam tape.
Artful Tulip Paintbrush Card
For my third card, I made another mini slimline card, featuring the Artful Tulip dies. Again, I assembled the paintbrush, then set it aside to work on the background. Like my first card, I decided to make a cardstock strip background. This time, I used just the pink and red colored cardstock. I added a little bit of paint splatter in white and coral pink. I trimmed the panel using one of the Precision Layering Mini Slimline dies, then adhered it to a white mini slimline cardbase.
