Good Morning Ladies,
I had what felt like a busy crafting day yesterday but I only finished two cards, I think I need to find some quick and simple designs!
I made this card on Sunday, it is actually a Vicky P' Journal page but I don't have this size Journal (8 ×4) inch. So I decided to use a card that I have and actually rarely use.
It started with a new technique, which is applying your paint to your background with a baby wipe.
It gives a more subtle effect, it wasn't that messy either.
I stencilled some detail onto the background and dry brushed on some gold paint, it looks messy at first you have to trust the process. I added some splatters of gold paint for texture too
Then we get to the fun part, picking out and colouring, edging and distressing the die cut ephemera.
I added some gauze under the holly bough, its really light adds great texture.
I really enjoy making these journal pages, however I must concentrate on Christmas cards for the next couple of weeks.
I hope that you all have a great day,
Love and hugs to all,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI love your card 😍 I saw Vicky’s video of this and yours is fantastic. Just as lovely, if not better 😘
I spent some time in my craft room yesterday too. I think I now have about 6 cards on the go lol 😂 I will get them finished ☺️
Wet and windy again and very mild! Keep having to put the heating off and then on again!
Have a lovely day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
Your card is gorgeous I must go and watch her video
