Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Eureka Stamper Challenge Day 2

Hi Everyone,
oops this was yesterday's challenge, to find the largest stamp we own and create something with it!

As I have a few background stamps I thought I'd ink up one I haven't used much Marbled Background Stamp.
I wanted to create a multi-coloured effect, but the idea of using Stampin' Write Markers on such a large stamp wasn't so appealing, so I tried out the "Baby Wipe" Technique, but wasn't too impressed with the way it inked up.
So my next option was spritzing......
and this is how it came out:
I did feel this was kind of pink, which is great if you're a big "Pink" fan, but I'm generally not lol.
So then I made up another one using more green and blues
This is more my colours, but of course once I had it made I then thought I maybe preferred the Pink one! generally I'm pretty happy with the way it worked.
To make them I have had the stamp sitting in my bin, and I sprayed colour onto it (drops of re-inker, mixed with Isocol alcohol liquid into the Stampin' Spritzers), I've used 3 or 4 different colours, then having the stamp still the wrong way up, I've moved it onto my table and pressed the card onto it. You don't want to get the stamp too wet or it blurs the image too much.

Then with these 2 cards I've heat embossed the Stylized Birthday stamp. Love this stamp it's nice and easy to use, always gives a great image, and it's big enough to make a great card on it's own!

Well that's it for challenge day 2 (little late admittedly) I'll see how I go with challenge day #3 hopefully will be back later..... watch this space as they say!

Hope this inspires you to create!
God Bless love
