One More Summer Card....

I'm just not ready to let summer go. :) I needed a little bit more flowers and butterflies.
 

I stamped and embossed over gelli print designs from my stash. I really dig the Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils over the prints - they cover so nicely and give a "painterly" look for just the right pop of color. Click here to see how I make my gelli prints.  In the darker areas, I laid down a layer of 001, then put color on top.

Sara's in Town!

Sara is here in the USA showcasing the cool line of Die’sire Edge’ables Borders Dies and other wonderful Crafter's Companion products on HSN today! I made this design to celebrate.

 To create the sky background I spritzed water onto a piece of A2 size Crafter's Companion Watercolour Cardstock and added color with Fireworks Sprays.  I used two different techniques:
WET (1) While the sprays were still wet, I dabbed paper towel into the color.
DRY (2) After it dried, I pressed firmly with a folded damp paper towel to make the clouds. I also spritzed water directly on the color and pressed a paper towel. The clear water, "pulls color out."  TIP: If you get any hard edges, dabbed lightly with a clean damp area of the paper towel.


After the spray inks dry completely,  I stamped the tree image onto the background, I used a water brush to fill in color from the outside lines. I stamped a second image about a half inch to the right and a little shorter, and then filled in color like the first one. After they dried, I masked them with a low tack tape and stamped two more images. NOTE: I stamped off first so the images would not be vivid, giving the illusion they were further back further back.

After the trees dried completely, I added snow to them with a paintbrush and Memento Luxe Reinker wedding dress. I let it dry completely before the next step. To make the snow sparkle, I added Stickles star dust. I also used it to create snowflakes in the sky.  

 I adhered scene to a piece of Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock and finished off the card with the lovely detailed Edge'ables Christmas Only Words - Let It Snow die cut. I love how the trees peak through the letters!
