Festive Silhouette Deer Scene

By
First Christmas make of the year an inky deer scene with stencilled full moon.  A tad difficult to photograph - the true colours are actually blue/grey and lilac.  A few mistakes along the way which I'll own up to below!


All inked and stamped directly onto the white card base.  I started with the two part moon stencil inking through the circle first then through the detail moon part with a mix of blue and lilac inks.  Dusted over with some mica pigment powers for a bit of subtle shine.  The silhouette deer were stamped in black ink and the ground inked with lilac using torn paper masks.  Next time I create something similar I will leave the deer stamping to last as the black ink was not totally dry so they are no longer as sharp as I would like.


Noel sentiment was die cut with alphas from patterned paper and adhered in a curve inside the moon.  For some reason I forgot that the ascender part of the 'l' should be higher up, there was no way back once stuck down!  With a torn edge die I created some thin strips of patterned paper to edge the card base.  Finished with some silver sparkle enamel dots and stickles on the ground.  Rounded off all four corners with a corner punch.

I've used - 5x5" white card base

    You are on the ball. Gorgeous festive make - like Carol says its only the creator that sees the 'mistakes' , im yet to make anything without a mistake but that keeps me wanting to improve for next time. Mind you having to come up with a way to disguising mistakes has led me to come up with ideas i loved and use more often. Emmax

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP.
