Friends Make it Better

Welcome

Another card ready to go out to a friend during this time of 'social distancing'.

I am playing with my Vicki Boutin acrylic paints again and used the same technique I show in yesterday's video.

To see that short video, go here.

I began by dabbing some acrylic paint onto my card panel and using my stencil paste spreader, I moved the paint around in a circular motion.

When the paint was dry, I stamped the sentiment and flowers using my Misti.  I heat embossed it with some clear powder and added some black splatters to add interest.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Hope you are keeping safe and sound.

Hello and Welcome

The world is in a tail spin right now with this nasty virus running it's course.  

I was really feeling the need to create some cards of encouragement and send them to my friends.

I know so many are struggling with the 'isolation' and the 'social distancing'.  I think we as cardmakers, can really make a difference in other's lives by sending a bit of sunshine and a paper hug.

So onto my card details.  

This card was actually very simple to create and lots of fun.  I just love the colours of acrylic paint I used by Vicki Boutin.  They are happy and cheerful and remind me that Spring is here.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I dropped little dabs of paint all over my panel, then using a Stencil Paste Spreader, I moved the paint by spinning it in a circular motion.  If you don't have a paste spreader, try using an old gift card, a ruler or even a popsicle stick.

Center the tool you are using to spread the paint and hold it flat against your paper and turn.

This is my first ever video taken using my phone, so I hope it is clear what I am doing.

Once I was happy with the inking, I set the piece aside to dry.  

I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment using some Versafine ink.

I added some black splatters for interest and then simply mounted it onto a heavy white card base.

I hope and pray you are all safe.  

We are staying home and all is closed here except for the grocery stores and the pharmacies.  

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Blessings
