Something Saturday - Triple Ripped Card

Image
Hi there Creators I saw a quick link thingo of a card on Facebook, and sort of noted what she did - which was really cool, so set about having a go and I have no idea if it's the same as I can't remember what it was called or who had done it, but it worked out well anyway, and now I get to share it with you🤣 So here we are...... You might recognise this one as it's one in my "card conglomerate" of Mega Class cards for 19th July (if you're keen to come to the Mega class or get it as a mail order class, you've got till 2nd July to book your spot) check out the blog post on the class here: July Mega Class Then in the video I made up the "bones" of this card, which I've then stamped up using the Inspiring Imperfections bundle (great stamp set & dies) For the base I've used the Misty Moonlight two-tone cardstock, it's kind of cool as it has the same colour on both sides, just one light and one darker.  I've cut this to 9" x ...

Something Saturday - Watercolouring Part 2: Watercolour Lifting

 Hi there Creators,

Well today I've continued on with the watercoloured pieces I produced last Saturday and now I'm showing off "Watercolour Lifting"  I don't recall trying this before, but the basic jist of it is:

  1. Create a watercoloured background and let dry completely
  2. Stamp over top using versamark
  3. dust over with clear embossing powder & heat set it
  4. spray water over and blot off to remove some of the colour, until the clear embossed images stand out (the colour under the embossed image will remain "full strength")

And that's it in a nutshell, here are the 2 cards I created using the watercoloured backgrounds I created last week: 

This first one uses Natures Prints Stamps to create the collage of leaves in the background, then I've used the Celebrating You stamps for the sayings in both cards, then this one I also used the gorgeous Iridescent Pastel Pearls (very pretty!)

Then this is the one I made up in the video, and I finally found a use for the Loose Daisy Embellishments! I've used Eden's Garden Stamps for it, I'm not sure the big stamp was really the best to use as the DistInkTive Stamp surface doesn't really work hence it kind of has a big blob in the centre (and hence I put 3 daisies in there 🤣)  As I say in Class - there's always a way to correct things with a card!   and in this case a definite embellishment opportunity 😉

Let me know if you have a go at this, I'd love to see how yours turns out!

I hope this inspires you to create.

God Bless love
