Multicolour Snowflake

Welcome

Simple Christmas card today that has a colourful, graphic look to it and was easy to create.

This card is similar to how I made this card a few weeks ago.

So onto my card details.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, my Stencil Pat (it is a plastic tool with a flat edge), my Distress Oxide inks, and a small sponge dabber.
• I laid the flat edge of my Pal and rubbed some ink in a line down my card panel. You could also use a ruler, a piece of heavy cardstock or anything that would give you a flat edge.  I repeated that process, then added some lines criss crossing the first ones going down.  The Distress Oxide ink colours I used were Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Picked Raspberry.
• When I was happy with the inking, I stamped the snowflake from Stampin Up off to the sided and clear heat embossed it over the inked background.
• I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black with some Versamark ink, then heat embossed it with some white powder on a piece of black cardstock.
• I wanted to give this piece a frame, so I die cut it using the In and Out Diagonal frame die from MFT.  
• I splattered the panel with a white and black Posca pen then by tapping it with my metal ruler, I glued the panel behind the frame and pop dotted it over a heavy white card base.  
• I added a clear gem to the center of my snowflake and pop dotted the sentiment as well.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

A few months ago, as I was playing with my acrylic paints, I created this card: 

Painted Circles

Well today, I'm happy to say that Splitcoast Stamper has decided to feature it on their Technique Tutorial Wednesday!  I wrote up the tutorial so that you all have a chance to try it out.  

There are lots of wonderful samples there for you to check out as well as Dina Kowal created a video using the technique.

Above is the card I created for the premiere.

So here are my card details.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I squeezed out drops of paint onto my card panel, then using a Stencil Pal (or you could use a credit card); I moved the paint in a circular motion until I had the paint spread out.  Be sure to let your panel dry completely before doing the next steps.

When my panel was all dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the thistle, then the sentiment and clear heat embossed them.  

I added some black acrylic paint splatters for interest.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you will give it a try.
