Super quick & easy eBrush stenciled cards

I have been loving my eBrush machine!
Some days I literally search for things to spray with this bad boy! I kid you not! And today I have 2 super easy cards I made using this awesome machine. What made these super quick & easy is that I got most of my design element, the gorgeous background, from the help of a stencil! Yes, you can make you own patterned paper with STENCILS!

I designed this background, believe it or not, using my ecal software and then I cut the stencil out from acetate sheets with my Sizzix eclips machine.


This was just plain white card stock eBrushed with ink from my Spectrum Noir turquoise marker set. I then matted it onto matching colored card stock and adhered it to more white card stock. Then I Wrapped  it in twine and added a felt rosette (quick tutorial can be found HERE). Added then added a sentiment to complete the card.


For this card I used the exact same stencil. I just centered the stencil and eBrushed it with 4 different Spectrum Noir Markers from the Purple color family set(PL2, LV2, PL5, & LV3). I layered them to give them an ombre effect and then simply stamped a cute flower image and sentiment directly over the background. And to dress it up even more I added self adhesive flat back pearls. 

And there you have it... super simple! Honestly, the hardest part of these cards were picking what colors to make them. LOL


WOULD YOU LIKE THIS BACKGROUND? 
If you have a digital cutting machine and would like to cut your own stencil I have made an SVG file of the ornate background HERE. You may download it for free but please do not redistribute my files. Instead, I kindly ask that you to direct individuals to download their own copy from my blog. THANKS!

Now go craft something with your new stencil!! And don't forget your eBrush!!

All digital files and svgs are cut using my Sizzix eclips machine & ecal software.





Fancy rosette headband

I have been playing a lot with my eBrush lately. And, I've been making more projects than I have time to post. Here's one I did a couple weeks back. A super cute flapper girl styled headband.


Both my girls love wearing cute frilly hair accessories. So, it's a good thing I like making them headbands because those things can be ridiculously expensive.


Here I simply cut out a scalloped circle. Then continued cutting the scallops toward the center in a spiral pattern. Then, with my eBrush and a purple Sharpie, I airbrushed the edges to give it more depth.

Starting from the outer edge of the circle I rolled my scallop toward the center creating a rosette hot gluing the rosette's layers in place as I went along. 

I also used my eBrush to add color to these ostrich feathers. All my feathers started off as white as shown on the feather on the right. I also used Sharpies on this step.

Then I hot glued all my pieces to a sequined headband.

And, Tah-dah!! 

Here's one of mommy's little princesses trying it on.

Top view... from this angel the feather looks almost ombre... super cool!!

And there ya have it... A super cute yet super easy project!
YAY!!

Craft HAPPY till next time, Friends!!
