Party card

Hi everyone,

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

This is already the last card for 2021. Unfortunately, COVID-19 had its grip on our lives again this year. It got us here at the last moment of the year with another lockdown. Hopefully 2022 will be the year we can put this virus behind us for good. I really hope so We're not going to let ourselves put down by it, we're having a party with this challenge. I made a birthday card for a dear friend of mine.  

First I used the Mixed Media #6 die for some texture. Then I stamped randomly with Dapper and Ledger Script. And applied some more contrast with Washi Tape. After a coat of White Gesso I started applying color using Liquid Acrylics Emerald, Metallic Paint Stormy Ocean and Infusions In The Navy.

Birds of a Feather canvas with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Not a Card". 

Finnabair recently released new molds, and Wings and Bones is my favorite of the bunch. It isn't Halloween yet, but this mold isn't just for Halloween projects. I started to coat the molds with a layer of White Gesso. After it was dry I adhered the large elements in place and later added the smaller elements plus the art stones and I provided the wings with Grit-Paste for extra texture.

 

After everything was dry and set enough, it was time to apply color. Found it hard to choose the colors, because I didn't wanted ending up a Halloween project. I started with Distress Paint Antique Linen for the skulls and the bones. Because I wanted to give it the color of bone. I made the wings gray with Distress Paint Black Soot and Impasto Paint Snow White. For the rest I worked with Liquid Acrylics Tiger Orange, Carmine and Burnt Sienna to give it a rusty effect. With Metallique Wax Bronze Age and Firebird I added some highlights here and there.
