Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a Shaker Card using several different paper collections! This card will require your favorite paper, some acetate, stamps, and ink. Check out the video below to make this card.
Hi everyone, Gabriela here and today I'm doing a scrapbook layout using some paper weaving, misting, and inking. I am scrapping a photo from Wizard World that includes a very brightly colored monster, so I wasn't afraid to mix patterns and colors here. I did my misting first and then used a heat tool to help it dry, it will curl a little, but once you have this in a page protector for a few days it will flatten itself. I'm using cut strips of paper and chalking ink that I thought went with the photo, you could use different collections and colors to get a completely different look, check out the video below.
Until next time, happy crafting!
Hello everyone, Gabriela here showcasing this month's Club Q and before I get into my project, let me talk about the greatness of this kit. I received a nice variety of papers and embellishments as well as a package of Petaloo flowers. There was even a set of full instructions for making an Altered project, just a really robust kit with some nice ideas and it was nice to see the paper collections paired in ways I might not have thought of on my own. One of the things I couldn't wait to use was the blinged butterflies, they were wonderful on their own, but I decided to add a little chalking ink to them to make them more visible.
So I have been participating in the #sisterswithheartinart challenge on IG, and every week there's a new prompt, this week was "Peacock", so I took it all the way. I started by drawing on black card stock.
I used Prismacolor pencils.
Then I colored the body in and cut out the outline.
Just the body, but I left the bottom connected.
Then I got my bag of feathers.
Might be messy...
Then arranged them behind the body.
First feather.
Then I attached it all to a distress inked background. I also hand lettered the quote and mounted it on glitter paper.
So many feathers!
This did take a while, but It was really fun, next post will be my first post for Quick Quotes! Happy crafting!
This card was done using the "No lines" coloring technique. No video today, but here is a step out.
Stamp your image in a soft, neutral color.
This is one of my favorite stamps, a mermaid from Stampendous.
Color your image, I used Copic Ciaos
I used a few Spectrum Noirs too.
Cut out your image.
I used Distress ink in varying colors to make the "water", I used a torn paper masking technique.
Rain stone application.
Shaker sequin selection! Those flowers are from a set I got at Target!
I made a foam tape barrier.
Adhered the front, and it's done!
Under the sea!
That's all, hope you're inspired to make something fun! Happy crafting!
