Explore 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 "Whatever the Weather".

It is officially spring, but unfortunately the weather is playing along. But for this challenge I made a sunny card, because I am so ready for spring. It is my favorite season! First I did some stamping with Dear to Dream stamp set and also with the Faded Type stamp set. Of course I had to use some washi tape. After a coat of White and Clear Gesso I applied Texture Paste with the Rays stencil. After the Texture Paste was dry, I started adding color. First Liquid Acrylics True Yellow with Nuvo Shimmer Powder Solar Flare.

 

For the bottom, I wanted to add some crazy texture and used Lava Paste. Unfortunately, they no longer carry it at Simon Says Stamp, but Nuvo Expanding Mousse is a great alternative that gives a similar effect. After I finished with the Lava Paste, I applied Liquid Acrylics Avocado Green and also Nuvo Shimmer Powder Green Parade to it.
