Being inky and creating pretty stuff
Had fun with failed videos for today’s cardmaking video but got there on the third attempt… and as a result 4 cards got made!
Love using texture paste and brushos together… they create such beautiful shading and tonal colour… and these stencils from claritystamp are delightful.
Love how simple they were to finish into cute cards and how vibrant and jewel like the colours are.
Hope you enjoy the process video.
And here is a pic in daylight to show the true colours…
Happy crafting!

Tonight its playtime with friends and we are making Christmas ATCs which we will turn into cards… and we are making 6 of them! Yes it sounds like a challenge but sure we can pull it off! I actually made 8 as samples but I think thay might be a bit much with only one mini gelli plate between us!
I used distress inks in a range of colours that I thought worked as Christmas colours.
I love how these all came out… such beautiful panels to work with… and each one is it’s own work of art. So then I pulled out a few sets of stamps and made the panels into the individual toppers.
So there are my 8 works of art… next step to cut them out and mount them before adding them to a card blank… Will update later with the final samples and of course pics of what we end up with tonight!
Happy crafting!

Later edit… here are the samples… I added a few simple embellishments and mounted them all onto the dark green ATCs I had die cut. Then added them all onto C6 card blanks… one with an additional piece of patterned paper as I wanted to show that they work with the patterned paper too! I doodles round some and on others raised them up on foam tape to add dimension. I also added wink of stella to a few elements to give some shimmer. (The other two did get made into cards too but didn’t provide them as samples for the class!)
And a much later edit… here is what I made tonight… I only managed to make three cards but I made lots and lots of backgrounds to make into something another day!
