Guest Designer – Ruth Andrews

Hi Everyone,

Ruth here and I’m absolutely thrilled to be Guest Designing for SugarPea Designs over the next three months. I’ve been a fan since I started crafting and the first thing I bought was the Home Sweet Home SugarCut and so I thought it would be nice to start my term by showcasing this. I have used it quite a number of times, making it one of my most used dies.

I have a video to accompany this post, which you can watch on my YouTube channel.

I took an A5 (UK sized) piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and cut it in half and started inking up a galaxy background with some bright distress inks. In between the bright splotches I added some Black Soot. This highlights the bright spots and makes it into the galaxy. I need some more practice using the Bristol Smooth I think, as it is so smooth I felt it didn’t blend as well as I’d like.

I then took some white gouache and mixed some up with water to make splatter and added it on top of the panel, along with some Clear Sparkle Pen.

Then I took some white card stock and die cut out the SugarCut Home Sweet Home and the SugarCut Homescape. I was very careful to remember to keep hold of the little windows and the heart as well as the piece between the M and E! I then stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Sentiments – Home set.

I cut all the pieces down to fit an A2 (US) card base and adhered the galaxy background. I then popped up the die cut pieces with some foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I’ll be back again soon with more SugarPea inspiration. Happy Crafting!
