Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border. Then this last one I've gone round the edges again with the darker Pool Party blend, but then blended in the lighter one in all the gaps. I actually did g...

How to colour in Flocked Vellum

 Hi there Creators,

I've added a new video to my collection that I thought I'd share here with you too, (and the "still" photos)

In the August to December "mini" catalogue there is this gorgeous flocked Vellum called Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper.  It's so pretty on it's own, but I really wanted to work out ways to colour it in too, so I've devised 3 ways you can do this, as I mention in the video I don't recommend using Stampin' Blends on the flocking itself as if you overdo it it'll rub it right off.


 

Hence my first method is using the normal ink pads and daubers, where you rub the colour into the flocking, Here's how it turns out:

The second technique is where you turn the vellum over, putting it onto a dark surface and colour on the back using Stampin Blends (alcohol markers), this is how this technique turns out:

And the last technique is to colour directly onto the flocking with Stampin' Write Markers, (very carefully!)  and this is how this one turns out:

With this technique you have the added bonus of squishing out the excess ink onto spare card stock (I run mine through my Cut & Emboss machine) and making up more cards/projects with it, like this one:

Well I hope this inspires you to dig out your flocked vellum if you have any and have a play with it, if not, I thoroughly recommend getting some!😀

God Bless love
