Star Shine card with tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Star Light Star Bright".



This time not a Christmas card but a birthday card. It has become an edgy card despite the star theme. I started with mixing Texture Paste and Nuvo Mousse Black Ash together, and used it with the Slate stencil. With Nuvo Mousse Aquamarine and a blending tool I've given the background some color and made it a little water resistant. This in order to work with Infusions.

Tear up Christmas 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 "Tear it Up".

Thankful 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 "Thanks/Thanksgiving". And this week we are showcasing Indigo Blu products, we love to see them used in your project if you have them. No worries if you don't have any.

For this Thankful card I didn't went for the standard autumn colors. But did I use the feathers that you could link to the thanksgiving turkey... :). I started with applying texture using Nuvo Mousse Aquamarine. What a beautiful color that is! Then I gave the background some color by using Distress Oxide Frayed Burlap, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers. Because of the texture of the Mousse, I needed some extra water to spread the color around more.
