Here's the card I made for the
January JUGS challenge--use a cover plate die. I ran Poppystamps Heart Pattern Plate through my machine with a panel of watercolor paper. It's easy to see in person and the close up photo gives you a little better look.
Next I played around adding Lindy's Magicals Butter the Bread Blue and Tibetan Poppy Teal--spritzing with water and moving color with a paintbrush. Then I covered the whole panel with Distress Spritz Weathered Wood. Our dark, cloudy day wouldn't let me get a picture really showing the colors, but I can tell you there's definitely teal shimmer in the darkest areas. It's beautiful in person and I'll soon have a video showing it in
my IG feed. I stamped the very old woodmounted image in black. Really wanted to add random stenciling, so I used Snowfall Distress Texture Paste through Miss Ink Stamps Square Dance stencil in a few random areas. In person it gives some fun texture and sparkle. Amazing the difference brushing the panel edges with black ink made! I also added some small black splatters--just for good measure! 😊
My new SSS Lea Snowflake was die cut from vellum 6 times. I attached 3 snowflakes to the panel and then glued the other 3 on top, but only put glue in the centers. The stamped images are a softer black, so I used gray enamel dots to embellish the snowflakes. The Alex Syberia sentiment was die cut from white cardstock. I stacked the word 2 high and brushed it with a shimmer pen. I'll put the birthday sentiment on the inside.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
