Miss your Hugs!

 I think this card is fun! I hope you agree with it.

Recipe:

Green and Gray cardstock

White cardstock 14.1 x 9.7cm

Tim Holtz Textured Fades Brick

Distressed Oxide Pumice Stone and Black Soot

Multi Matt Medium

WPlus9 That is all stamp set

 

 

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.

Kaisercraft Whimsy Wishes

 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.

Whimsy Wishes Collectables

Clear drops

Walnut Stain

Multi Matt Medium.

 

The strips of paper are cut randomly, so I have no measurements for you in the area. I glued them onto a piece of copy paper that is measured at 13.4 x 9cm. Trim off the excess. Frame the sentiment with the branches. Add some clear droplets with Multi Matt Medium.

 

 

This card is very simple in design. The only thing I really added was Walnut Stain distress oxide ink around all the elements. The presents and sentiment are all raised up using foam tape.

Paper Rose Christmas Snowflakes

 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.

Recipe:

Paper Rose Christmas Sentiments

Paper Rose Christmas Snowflakes

 

Distress Oxide

Cracked Pistachio

Evergreen Bough

Black Soot

White and Black Embossing Powder

Multi Matt Medium

Snowy Sequins

 

 Before you blend your inks heat emboss your white snowflake and sentiments. Blend thru your inks and sprinkle water. Leave the water for a few seconds and pat off. Make sure the panel is dry before you emboss your black snowflakes.

 

Use foam tape to mount the panel and scatter sequins in between the embossed snowflakes.

Cosmic Shimmer Pixi Powders

 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.

Pixi Powders

Lava Red

Midnight Blue

Plum Twist

Kaisercraft Whimsy Wishes 

White Pearls

Vellum

StarDust Stickles

Multi Matt Medium

 

 

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.
