Texture card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Add Some Texture".

As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some fabulous products from Stamperia. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

For the background of this card I used Distress Inks, Oxide, Metallique Paint and Infusions. I think it is such a cool technique to build a background. Especially with different types of media at the same time. Like the metallic of the paint and the intensity of the Infusions gives it such a fabulous effect.

 

After the background was done I started using the Stamperia Cosmos Astrology and Numbers stencil to apply some texture. I did this with Texture Paste, my go to medium for texture. I made this blue with Metallique Paint Stormy Ocean and Infusions In The Navy. I put so much Metallique Paint in it that it became a bit metallic. I applied some shade to the edges of the numbers using Distress Reinker Black Soot to create even more texture.
