Celebration card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! The next two weeks it's all about "Celebrate".
This challenge will last for 2 weeks so you have plenty of time to join in! 

I made this birthday card for an amazing friend of mine. Unfortunately, we can't celebrate the way we used to, but let's hope his crazy time will be over next year. I started with Botanical Collage Paper, old book paper and Soft Matte Gel, as well as washi tape. Then I first applied a layer of White Gesso and then a layer of Clear Gesso and made it really hot with the heat tool, so that it starts to bubble for nice texture.

 

With the Schoolhouse stencil and Texture Paste I added some extra texture, and when it was dry, it was time for color. I started with Liquid Acrylics True Yellow and Distress Paint Speckled Egg and then Nuvo Shimmer Powder Storm Cloud. Of course I used the Winged Impresslit again, I absolutely love it!

Ice Cold 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 "Ice Cold".

It's unbelievable that it is almost Christmas. Time flies so fast, even in this weird time. I started with Speckled Egg and Weathered Wood Distress Ink along with Burnt Umber Glamour Pigment to create a wintry background. After building up several layers, I added a little bit of shimmer to the Texture Paste with Perfect Pearls Perfect Pearl. I applied it with the Sparkle Stencil. The Perfect Pearls gives that little bit extra to the Texture Paste.

 

At the moment I'm really into the Winged Impresslit, it goes so well with Christmas cards. I used it with Kraft paper and colored it with Ground Espresso Distress Ink.
