Hello.
Can you
believe its my third week already? February is flying by.
They are so
versatile with lots of uses and a great way to add some colour or texture to
your projects.
My first card is full of colour and it all started
with using the scenery: classic circles creative screening with distress markers.
I simply coloured in randomly so there was no order to
it.
I was going to make this a shaker card but changed my
mind when i managed to forget to add acetate to my frame lol
So its a faux shaker ;)
I used the big bang confetti cutaways and some clear sequins
all adhered with glossy accents.
I added the cake after i coloured it with copics.
The final piece is the metal die cut sentiment, i
think it really makes a statement.
This card is actually the third card i made but it
made sense to show it next as its a shaker card.
The background uses the scenery: classic stars creative
screening and is a left over from the next card.
Inside the shaker i have used sequins and some of the
party confetti cutaways.
Once the shaker element was made i added the cupcake
from sugar rush.
For the sentiment I used in a word: happy die with some
red fun foam , it cut beautifully.
And finally i added a smaller sentiment made using Essentials: Katharine Cutaways and the big the bold and party stamps.
After the busyness of the other cards its back to my
comfort zone, clean and simple.
I used the scenery: classic stars creative screenings, firstly
i used a sponge dauber to add white ink.
Once that dried i then added the colour directly over
the white stars with the stencil still in place.
The colour wouldn't have been so true if id gone
straight onto the kraft card.
Now once the coloured ink was on the creative
screening i didn't clean it , instead i spritzed with a mini mister and place
watercolour card over it pressing down to get good contact and to soak up the
colours.
That then became the background to the previous card.
Now although stencils are great for adding colour like
the other cards its doesn't have to all be bright colours.
For this card i used the duo: the big, the bold and extras creative
screening.
I taped it to my card and masked of around
it it before covering with versamark.
Then carefully removed all of the masking and added
some glittery gold embossing powder.
Once embossed it gives texture and a great effect.
I had to add more though so used the scenery: classic diagonal
creative screening on my card base with black distress ink.
Again i have
used the scenery: the big, the bold and extras creative screening , this time i have used the
other flower.
This was a bit of a happy accident.
I wanted a black flower so have used black distress ink on water colour
card.
The plan was to remove some of the ink with clear water and a paper towel to
give some shading effects but that didn't work so well .
I decide to leave it as is then i masked the black inked flower with a
post it note and used the scenery: v for chevrons creative screening.
Then using versamark before removing all the masking and
stencils i added some of what i thought was gold embossing powder ...turns out
it was platinum but i think it worked better.
As the black ink hadn't completely dried some of the powder also stuck to
the edges of the flower.
keeping with the colour scheme i used some silver card with the thanks die cut.
