Carte Postale frame tutorial

Hello friends! Happy Friday to you all!! Today I have a simple tutorial, I started a project and on the way I made several mistakes and this tutorial was born {wink, wink}

Directions: 
Step 1: Gather all your materials and get ready to stamp. 

 Step 2: Stamp "Carte Postale" image on a piece of Ultra Smooth Premium White cardstock in Versamark Watermark ink. 

 Step 3: Cover image with Light Blue Embossing Powder and heat set. 
Step 4: Apply a smooth coat of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. 

 Step 5: Apply a second coat using Broken China Distress Ink. 

 Step 6: Finally apply Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 

 Step 7: Your piece now looks like this, you can apply as little or as much ink as you want. TIP: I leave the stamped area a little bit lighter of Vintage Photo Ink. 

 Step 8: Stamp the border around the edges in Blue Hawaii StazOn and the other two images in Spiced Chai StazOn Midi Ink. 

 TIP: You can use this piece in a card, but also you can decorate your room with beautiful frame. I got this pretty frame at my local Goodwill for only 0.99 cents!!

 Here is the final project:

Hope you like it and give it a try.
Have a fantastic day!

Psalm 1:3

Hello friends!! Happy Wednesday to you all. It's hump day and I hope the whatever bug I got goes away soon, no time for me to get sick(er).
Anyway, back to my card, this week is a CAS one for Word Art Wednesday, but pretty {wink, wink}. I didn't add too many embellishments, I used the flowers from Altenew Painted Flowers, here are the details.
  • Make a card base from Curious Metallic Nude Cardstock (lovely color) A2 size.
  • Cut a piece of Vellum paper 4" x 5.25", score all sides and adhere it to card base.
  • Print Bible verse and die-cut piece, stamp flowers and leaves. Die-cut a scallop border in Coastal Pearl and adhere it behind the verse.
  • Adhere Bible verse to card with foam adhesive.
  • Add pearls to corners and a bow.

Hope you like it.
Have a fantastic day!!

Orchids and Hibiscus!!

Hello friends! Hope your day is great. Last week, Crafter's Companion launch new Sheena Douglas stamps, part of the A Little Bit Sketchy Collection.

I have 2 card for you today using 2 of the new sets.

For this first card I used "Orchids" set, I made a stepper card. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Markers: HB1, HB2, HB3, LV1, CT1, LG2, LG3, DG1, then die-cut the image with the square from Elegant Stamping Frame Die set. Then I added the image to a big die-cut in purple using the same die set.
For the sentiment I die-cut it using Just the Tickets Die set, added a bow and the card was finished.




For this second card I used the "Tropical Nectar" set. The images were colored with Spectrum Noir markers :

  • Hibiscus: CR2, CR3, CR4, CR5, CR6. CR7, CG2, CG3, DG2
  • Hummingbird: IG1, BG1, BG2, BT3, TB2, TB4, CG3.
Then I cut out the images and added them to a panel made from Pink Pearl Shimmering Cardstock and Gold Dust Shimmering Cardstock and a Kraft card base. Added a couple of patterned paper strips. Finally die-cut the sentiment with Just the Tickets set and added pearls to all corners.



Hope you like them!
Have a great day!
