Tonight I had lots of fun creating painty layers for Christmas cards with my friends. I made the background a few days ago but finished these sample cards just before my friends arrived… and then I got to make more tonight.
I haven’t got the best of pics for the finished articles tonight so will take those tomorrow and post again then!
So let’s start with how I made them.
First I made a background… layers of paint brayered and scraped on, then stencilling and stamping and doodling and more stencilling.
Next I cut that into panels… this 12 x 12 can make 9 backgrounds but I chose not to do that many… I instead have 2 ATCs and 7 backgrounds.
Next I painted panels onto white cardstock and then heat embossed the images using white embossing powder.
Then I chose how to layer up the card, matching images I fussy cut to the panels…
And that is where I got to before tonight.
Well then I added some die cut frames and panels and sentiments to finish them off before adhering them to white card blanks…
I also added sequins… which was the inspiration for the colour scheme originally.
Sorry that I don’t have a close up yet… but will do that tomorrow morning and upload the photos then.
Also I have the panel and cards i made tonight… then same colour scheme and stamp set…
The only difference is rather than the pink cardstock for the die cut frames I used pearlescent cardstock instead… so lovely.
Some of the ones I made tonight need sentiments to finish… but pleased with them all! I’ve got three not quite finished and on card blanks to go too!
Happy crafting!
