I have been playing with my Spellbinders Ornaments dies and inks, mists, paints ... craft room has been a hive a creativity and mess LOL!!
Ist up is my card for this week's
Basic Grey Challenge, which is mix and match, so get those papers from the different ranges mixed up!!
I got all arty and creative with this ... the bauble is cut out blue cardstock, and then glimmer misted using walnut gold mists. I did about three lots of spritzing and drying to get the depth of staining and sheen I wanted. I then inked round the edges using vintage photo DI. Then I ran it through my baubles folder, and painted rock candy crackle paint into all the debossed bits. I scrapped a piece of card across the top to remove the excess. After drying it off I matted it up on the Blitzen and Periphery papers by Basic Grey.
I used the same technique for this bauble (just needed to try out different colours LOL!!) and then matted it simply onto an embossed background and kraft paper. I added some bakers twine and a bow to finish it off.
And finally ...
This is made using the piece of cardstock left after cutting the bauble out for the first card. I embossed some white cardstock using my baubles folder and then simply matted it up onto navy and white cardtock before adding a Craftwork Cards sentiment.
