Y is for Yupo Paper

I can't believe this is the last of my alphabet series. I have enjoyed using techniques and products that start with letters of the alphabet. It kept me thinking outside the box! Today the letter is Y so I used Yupo paper and alcohol inks to make the background. I adhered the trees and then splattered white paint across the background for the look of snow. I want to wish you a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous Sponsor/s for their continued support.

V is for Vellum

It is time to show another card in my alphabet series. Today the letter is V so I used vellum two ways on this card. I found some leaf printed vellum in my stash and used it for the background. Next I stamped three leaves on plain vellum and embossed them using a glitter copper embossing powder. I colored on the back of them using various colors of alcohol markers. They were fussy cut and added to the front of the card.

Stamp:  Leaf - Unknown

Saying: Stampin' Up

Embossing Powder:  Log Cabin - Sparkle N Sprinkle

Printed Vellum - Paper Studio

Alcohol Markers - Caliart

U is for Ugly Background

I am back again this month with another card for my alphabet series. The letter is U, so I used an ugly background! I have thousands of backgrounds in my stash. When you start playing with products you can't just make one background, you have to keep playing because it is so much fun! I found this background where I had used marbles to ink up card stock. You adhere the card stock to the bottom of a food takeout container, add some drops of reinkers, place a few marbles on top, close the lid and shake the marbles around. I have some pretty backgrounds, but this one looks fuzzy and the colors are not that great. I love adding layers and embellishments on my cards. After all is done the background does not look too bad!
