Celebrate In Style

Merry Christmas, everyone! Today I'm sharing my take on the new Mood Board over on the SumMore Fun Blog.   The whole idea of this card is celebrating the new with the clocks, champagne bubbles and of course, celebrating in style. Does everyone dress up for New Year's Eve Parties? 

 Here's the mood board, remember you can be inspired by the photos or the color palette. 

How To

• Stamp Clock Minutes image on Neenah #110 cardstock using Distress Ink in Antique Linen and Picked Raspberry and Black Soot
• Let dry completely ( I used my heat gun to speed things along)
• Once dry, I lightly go over stamped image with an anti-static bag, then stamp bubbles using Perfect Pearls Medium and add Gold Perfect Pearls, set aside to dry while cleaning up. 
• Lightly sweep off any remaining pearl powder with a brush and/or cloth.
• Stamp Celebrate In Style sentiment in center of clocks and on die-cut banner
• Layer on gold foil paper using fun foam, layer gold foil on black cardstock onto black and white striped paper adhered to 4.254" x 5.5" card base
• Finish off with gold enamel dots

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see your take on this gorgeous mood board.

Happy Holidays

Hi and welcome back. Today I'm sharing my take on the new Mood Board over on the SumMore Fun Blog.

Here's the moodboard, remember you can be inspired by the photos or the color palette. I really love the colors for Christmas and they seem to be very popular this year. 

I actually used the photos, colors, and theme for inspiration. The colors are very evident but the polka dotted trees were inspired by the gift wrap photo and the twine tied it up. 

How To

• Cut white cardstock panel for stamping, kraft cardstock for matting
• Die-cut circle for stamping sentiment using the VO Christmas Borders Stamp Set
• Using the VO Polka Dotted Christmas Tree stamp I randomly stamped the tree in red and black ink, leaving enough space to stamp one tree with VersaMark Ink and heat emboss using a Pearl Embossing Powder.
• Layer kraft cardstock onto a 4.25" x 5.5" top fold cardbase
• Adhere fun foam to white cardstock panel(stamped) and wrap twine around several times before adding to cardbase
• Stamp sentiment and adhere using 3D mounting foam 
• Finish off with one white, black and red enamel dot

Thinking Of You

Hi, everyone and welcome! Today I'm sharing a little inspiration for the Craftin Desert Divas Monthly Mood Board Challenge. You still have a few days left to join in. 

January Mood Board Challenge 

I did a little heat embossing and distress ink blending to create this quick Thinking of You card. 

I highly recommend the Finetec Watercolor Set - Golds, they are gorgeous, and it takes very little water to use them. I also recommend investing in a few high-quality paint brushes or you'll just keep replacing the cheap ones. 

CARD BASE

• 4.25in. X 5.5in. Canson Water Color Paper 

STAMP

• Using Versafine Onyx Black Ink Stamp snowflakes and flourishes and heat emboss with clear embossing powder
• Using painter's tape off paper and layer distress inks blending Seedless Preserves, Salty Ocean, and Peacock Feathers
• Using Finetec Artist Mica Watercolor Set - Sterling Silver flick tiny splats over card
• Let dry.
