A few months ago I made two masterboard backgrounds as I was inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video to just play with the stash I have got and I then made some cards … a total of six so far but will share them over a few blogs to spread them out.
Let’s start with the how… I tried to remember to take in progress pictures.
I started by creating the first inky layer with the brayer just like Jennifer. She then did a spray of the distress mica sprays but I don’t have any so I made my own using Dylusions and some perfect pearls. I used yellow for the red coloured one and then added some blue to turn it green for the blue one.
You wouldn’t believe how sparkly this makes them … they look gorgeous but it never comes out in photographs so you will have to take my word for it … super ✨ soarkly!
I did the same as Jennifer did and cut the panels up first and then taped them together. Next I added stamping, stencilling and had lots and lots of fun!
I started by die cutting the panels with the pierced background die from waffle flower and then cut them into angled panels.
I decided to keep it simple for the first two…
I stamped and embossed the deer image and stacked up the cardstock so it was nice and thick and fussy cut it out.
I stamped and embossed the sentiment and then added some gems.
The pierced die cut adds some extra subtle elements.
For this one I blended ink onto some scrap and then embossed the Darcy holly leaves in silver to coordinate with the embossing in the background.
I then added sequins to embellish and the embossed sentiment layered up on the green leftover panel.
Will share the next cards in a couple of days.
Happy crafting!
