Today I had a play with Rainbow, I still need practise with this. Inspiration came from Alberto Gava
He does alot of rainbow work and of course, his colouring is just beautiful!
I think this card is fun! I hope you agree with it.
First, before doing anything stamp your sentiment. Emboss the white cardstock with the Texture Fades -Brick. Draw using the brick work as a guide to make a whole in the wall and cut out using a craft knife. Put a scrap piece of gray cardstock behind the white panel and draw in a shadow where you want it. Personally I had a shadow underneath the brick and then on the left side of exposed brick. Check out the above and below photos.
Using more scrap cardstock make yourself a "creeper" The head is 2.5 x 2.5cm and the body is about 1.9cm. Sponge with Black Soot and use foam mounts to rise the head, apply more foam dots. Position in the middle of the whole. I also used Pumice stone to help the brick work stand out.
Today we have a good child card, I don't want to say a boy card as my nieces' love Lego.
Hi Everyone,
We have a another pretty paper range today called Merry and Bright by Cocoa Vanilla.
Very much my colours softer more muted colours.
Hi Everyone,
Today we have a colouring card.
This paper range is so pretty. My only problem is the fact it is winter based which isn't Aussie experience but, I love the colours and I love snowflakes. Plus all Christmas papers are winter based. One day I will have a white Christmas.
We have 2 cards today.
This card is similar to a recent card class I taught but I wanted to have abit more of a play. This time with some blended ink and embossing, some variation.
Here in Australia, we got introduced to the shimmery pretty powders before Nuvo powders but I believe they are very similar products. Well, they were the first I found anyway. They are similar to Colorbursts and... there is another Brusho!! But these have Mica powder in them.
You can use these powders in a few ways. Alot of people like to apply the water first and then TAP (do not squeeze them!) but I like to tap colour on first then spray the water, only because I like seeing the colours pop altogether. It is purely personal choice, in that area. If you were wanting a lot lighter application then spray the water first.
One thing I have found is that you need to let it air dry, heating it seems to disagree with the powders.
Once you have completed the background it is literally just layering up the elements. I placed foam under each element. Finished it off with pearls and stickles scattered around.

Thank you for stopping by
I don't know about you but I find solid stamps pretty daunting. Unless it is you are happy just to stamp them and leave it, which is fine, but I have trouble.
My solution is to use my Copics to add extra dimension and interest.
I've been having alot of fun with Alcohol Inks by Couture Creations lately. ALOT of fun!
Today, is a very different post than I usually do.
I have had a wood tissue box for AGESSSS! I mean ages!
I also had papers from Kaisercraft Craft a noon. I wanted to use it for cards so I cut it up into 14.4 x 10cm. I regretted it only because I do a variety of different projects. If you were a card making only it would of been fine. But for me it wasn't a good choice. They would of been awesome for an album... but... doesn't matter. We use what we have and make it work.
I had alot of cut-a-part elements, large pieces (which I used in this project) and smaller ones as well. The collectables have something for everyone, knitting, sewing, painting... Then I had alot of scraps to play with as well, so really the scraps were very useful as I didn't have odd shapes to try to incorporate. It took some of the decision out of the process , it worked out well.
This project is very simply in regards to work.I had already cut everything out, quite a while ago and the Collectables (ephemera, Kaisercraft called them Collectables) So it was literally decided where to put it and plonk it down. No extra sponging or cutting out. You can be I had elements I just wanted to use it up.
I do hope you enjoyed my project.

Today, I am using the same stamp set that I did last week but we are going to have a look at how it looks coloured differently.
Today I am joining my friend Michelle Lupton in her challenge CASE Me a Christmas Card. You can check out the card I CASE here
The stencil I used doesn't have a name just the code but it looked the most like little Christmas baubles. I didn't have red embossing powder so I used Distress Oxides. I need to try this with other embossing powders!
Once the ink was blended I used the Dabber first but my area was too big for it so I put out the big guns and used Versamark. After the clear embossing powder was applied and melted I used the Multiliner to add 2 thin lines to frame the embossing.
I think this little guy is so gorgeous! I used Whimsy's Gruffy Little Gnome
I am super excited to join a hop today. I love these cute little monsters from Sassy and Craft. So sweet and I can't wait to see what others used and how they coloured everything.
Follow along and comment along the way. There is Rafflecopter link to enter the giveaway.
