Merry and Bright

Hello and Welcome

Posting a few last minute cards.  

I ran out of time after being so busy with my daycare kids and having the stomach flu.  

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I pulled out a piece of Yupo paper, my salad spinner and some Alcohol inks.  **For any of you that missed my 'Salad Spinner Alcohol inks' video, you can see it HERE.
• After creating my background with the Alcohol inks, I glued on the snowflakes that I had die cut from the Blizzard Corner with some white cardstock. It cuts a corner but I altered it to fit cover the panel.
• When I was happy with the design, I die cut a circle from the center and set it aside.
• I glued the AI inked panel onto a heavy white card base, then pop dotted the circle back into place, matching up the snowflakes.
• I cut another circle from some white cardstock, smaller then the first one, stamped the sentiment onto that, then glued them together.
• I added 3 silver gems under the sentiment. 

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Spinner Ink Background Tutorial

Hello and Welcome

I have the pleasure of writing a tutorial for Splitcoast Stampers called

Spinner Ink Background

You may remember the backgrounds I made using the Salad Spinner?

You can see my other cards HERE, HERE and HERE

Here is the link to my Splitcoast Stampers Tutorial:

So here's what I did to create this card.

• I used my salad spinner to create the background on a piece of Yupo paper using my Alcohol inks. See the tutorial for all the details.
• I used the Diagonal Stitched Plaid Die to add interest to the inked background.
• I splattered using my black Posca pen...I like a little bit of black as an accent.  I set that aside to dry.
• I found a piece of paper I had inked in similar colours in my stash and die cut the sentiment from Simon Says using that.  It is a 2 piece die.  After I cut out the letters, I glued it onto the white outline piece of the die.
• I glued the inked panel onto a white card base, then foam taped the sentiment over the background.

Thanks a lot for coming by and taking a look.
