Embossing Fun

Hello friends,

Happy New Year!! I'm back after nearly two months to share a card I'd made some time ago, but never shared. It was made using the leftover scraps from an ink blended background panel I'd made for THIS card.

Products used:

#catherinepooler inks, #sizzix (embossing folder), scalloped circle (sent as RAK), printed sentiment & #nuvo (crystal drops)  

The leftover ink blended scraps from a previous project were glued on a 1.5 inch wide piece of white cardstock, embossed, then rubbed the raised embossed design with a white ink pad and finished off with a sentiment and crystal drops.

Have a great day.

O Christmas Tree

Hello friends,

I'm here with my last card for the 'CASE Me a Christmas Card' event, and once again I CASEd the hostess Michelle Lupton. The main element on her card that inspired me was the multicolored triangular sections.

Products used:

#stampin'up paper, #altenew (embossing folder), Holographic paper, #uniko (sentiment stamp) & silver acrylic paint 

Four coordinating papers were used to cut triangles to shape the tree, then embossed and glued to the card base. A star from my stash was covered with holographic paper, adhered in place and finished off with a stamped sentiment and a generous spattering of silver paint. Some larger dots were intentionally added to the tree.

Stamping w/ Watercolors

Hello friends,

Sharing this card I made for the 'CASE Me a Christmas Card' event. Here I CASEd Anna. The technique of stamping with watercolors was new to me, and I had to give it a try.  

Products used:

#fbsstamps (image, scroll & sentiment), #justrite (frame die), watercolors & gold acrylic paint 

The image was stamped with watercolors, then with gold acrylic paint, covered the panel with spatters and die cut the panel. The scroll was stamped with gold paint, the sentiment with ink, then fussy cut and glued. The die cut panel was adhered to the card base and covered with gold paper for contrast.

#paperfunday - anything goes

Have a great day.
