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
ReplyDeleteOff to John Lewis today The Knit & Natter group are going to go to their cafe for coffee and cake Last year JL treated us but sadly not this year
This afternoon I need to make some blank tri-fold cards for a friend
Take care everyone xx
Today’s card is lovely, the background is brilliant and creates a very special base for the subject and sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWe have got as far as getting the Christmas decorations down from the loft today, the tree is in place waiting to be decorated, a job for tomorrow!
Hope your day has been well spent, take care everyone.
Love Brenda xxx
Hi from a very wet and windy home.
ReplyDeleteToday’s card is great, I saw this background by Vicky, looks really good, but I’m sure if I tried it I would end up with a mess.
Managed to sort out some papers for Christmas cards, so hopefully I can get some basic cards done.
Hugs to all, sleep well. Lilian
