Tutorial Tuesdays: White Rabbit Grunge Collage Canvas by Val!

Happy Tuesday Creative Friends!
LeighSBDesigner Val has a wonderlandful grunge collage tutorial for you today featuring the newest addition to LeighSBDesigns Grunge in Wonderland series, the White Rabbit Grunge Collage and the Grunge Card Suits set.  All the digis featured today are on FLASH SALE until midnight pacific tonight!

The White Rabbit is perfect for Alice in Wonderland fans of course but he's also a fun twist for your Easter Bunny projects this year❤️


 Morning, Val here today with a fun White Rabbit canvas collage tutorial!


 Print 2 of the White Rabbit Grunge Collage onto A6 white cardstock (4 1/8 x 5 7/8 inches).
 

 Fussy cut out the rabbit, ornate key and the "Late" letters from one of them.
 

Apply clear Versamark ink to the key and letters and heat emboss with clear ultra thick embossing powder.
 

 Apply Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink to the 2nd image using your favourite ink applicator.  I like using a smoothie sponge.
 

Once coloured die cut out the portion of the image with a scalloped rectangle die.
 

Prepare a small canvas base by applying Black Soot Distress Ink with a smoothie sponge.


 Adhere the die cut panel to the canvas off center and then trim a piece with a scalloped edge from the left over coloured image for the left hand side of the canvas.
 

 Print out 4 Hearts from the Grunge Card Suits set and colour them and the bow on the fussy cut out White Rabbit with a Red Embossing Pen and heat emboss with clear UTE.  Then fussy cut out all the hearts.
I coloured the White Rabbit with Spectrum Noir markers:  GB4, PP4, CR4 and a White Dylusions paint pen.
 

 Adhere all the fussy cut out elements to the main image for a fun grungy 3D effect. 
 Complete the canvas by applying Ranger Stickles and white Cosmic Shimmer drops to the edges for more dimension and a touch of dark sparkle.


 Materials used:
Neenah White Cardstock
Small Canvas
Black Soot Distress Ink
Spectrum Noir markers:  GB4, PP4, CR4
Red Embossing Pen
White Dylusions Paint Pen
X-Cut Scalloped Rectangle Nesting Die Set
Ranger Stickles
White Cosmic Shimmer drops

White Rabbit Grunge Collage is a fun grunge style Wonderland themed collage and a must for Alice in Wonderland fans!  The royal White Rabbit is based on the original Tenniel illustration and I combined it with a grungy background consisting of page text from the original book, crackle textures and a large ornate metal key.

Tutorial Tuesdays: Luck o' the Irish Concertina card by Val!

Howzit Creative Friends!
LeighSBDesigner Val has a fabulous St. Patrick's Day themed concertina card tutorial featuring our new Oddleigh Leprechaun set for your inspiration today🍀


If you missed the launch of the March Release then check out all the new designs and get the scoop on the special offers and FREEBIE BUNDLES HERE!
The March Release introductory sale ends March 11th at midnight pacific!


Hello, Val here today with a fun Concertina Card featuring all 4 designs included in our new Oddleigh Leprechaun set.


This is the front of the card when closed. 
 

To make the card base I started out with 4 x A6 Neenah white cardstock panels.
 

  To create one long panel I attached each A6 panel to the next with masking tape.
 

I used masking tape instead of sticky tape to add extra strength to each fold.


 Then added a frame to each panel with a black Sharpie marker.
 

 I printed out the 4 Oddleigh Leprechaun images onto more A6 card.
 

Then trimmed each panel down by 1cm on all 4 sides.


I coloured the backgrounds around the images with Wild Honey Distress Oxide with an Inkylicious Ink Blending Brush.


I coloured the cute quirky Leprechaun using Spectrum Noir Colourista Pens:
Forest Green, Leaf Green, Rose and Gold.  His face was coloured with Spectrum Noir CR2, TN3 and TN5.   I also used a Sakura glitter pen to add sparkle to the buckle.


 I coloured the Pot o' Gold with Forrest Green, Leaf Green and Gold and added sparkle to the both the pot and the text with Sakura Glitter pens. 


I printed out a second image of the Oddleigh Pot o' Gold and fussy cut out all the gold coin pieces.


These I adhered over the original image on the panel and applied Glossy Accent for a nice shiny dimensional effect.
 

I used Forrest Green, Leaf Green and Gold to colour the Four Leaf Clover Corner and added green Sakura glitter pen sparkle highlights.
 

I then edged the panels and hand drew in a loopy pattern border with a black Sharpie marker.
 

To complete my quirky concertina card I then adhered all the panels to the card base.


 Oddleigh Leprechaun Set - digi stamp set of 4 designs🍀
