The mountains are from a set I have had probably longer than I've had Sheldon, and the trees are from the famous "Lovely as a Tree" from SU Wolf is cut a t 3". Colors: Wild Wasabi, Garden Green, Marina Mist, Night of Navy, and So Saffron. Color combo all by little self- thank you very much. :)
Set: lovely as a tree, serene snowflakes
Colors" always artichoke, chocolate chip, white emboss, white craft pad
ribbon: bravo burgandy
I used the white craft pad to stamp snowflakes all over the always artichoke. I used always artichoke to stamp the trees on the white card stock. Added some dazzling diamonds to make it look had fresh sparkly snow had fallen. The greeting is embossed.
Every year my sister takes cards to work to sell for me. This is one of the ones I created
for her to take. I just can't help but think about Christmas and a beautiful winters day
when I look at this set.
This card was stamped on kraft white. First I rolled the entire cardstock with the speckle wheel. Then I made an oval stencil. Lightly sponged it in perfect plum, used the enfrancais to stamp over in perfect plum as well. I them stamped the trees from lovely as a tree using sage shadown. The Greeting is embossed in gold.
I honestly can't remember if I posted this or not. I can't find it.
So maybe I did not. Oh well~ my favorite set her again. This time in
dark colors.
Paper: black, glossy, basic gray
Ink: basic gray (on the background)
Start by cutting the base for your card. Here I used chocolate chip. Cut to 10 1/2 x 5 1/4. Then fold the card stock in half making a 5 1/4 square. Open paper.
Now fold the bottom side up to the center. As shown, creating a quarter fold..
Keep quarter fold on right, pull left bottom corner until it is even with the quarter crease. Open. And fold top left had corner down to quarter fold.
Turn paper, now the quarter fold is on the left. Mark the center of the top. The sides are already marked with creases.
Draw a line from the mark you made to the creases. These are the cutting lines.
Now cut along the lines you drew. This will create a point.
Apply a glue dot to the corner so it will stand up correctly.
And finish the card. This is the one also featured in the cracked glass spotlight.
I used "lovely as a tree" really rust, old olive, and close to cocoa. This card fits nicely
in a 5 1/2 square envelope, and is really fun to recieve.
So I have my image prepared. I used really rust, old olive, close to cocoa, and sponged the color for the background.
Next you will apply versamark liberaly to the top of your image. Then place image in your powder pal. Shake on the glassy glaze enamel (from Stampin' Up!) use your heat gun to set it.
It takes 3 coats, to get the glass look. This is how it looks after the first coat. Look at the arrow, it shows how bubbly it is. So don't worry you have 2 more coats to go.
Okay, once again apply versa mark, and Glassy glaze enamel. Heat set. And repeat one more time.
You now have a very glassy like finish on your picture. Allow the enamel to cool completly. (good time for a tea break) When you come back the enamel is very stiff, when you fold it backwards it will crack.
Then you can finish your card. This card I used "snow swirled" colors were bashful blue, almost amethyst, so saffron. I added a rhinestone to the middle for accent. Hope you like it, and yours turns out well. Don't get discouraged it takes a bit of practice.
