Stay Home! OddBall Art Interactive card

Image
Hello everyone! Eny here, and I'm back with another fun OddBall Art project! Lizzy has been working hard to get some fantastic images out to all her followers/clients and this one is specially wonderful! As we find ourselves in the midst of lock downs worldwide, creators and crafters alike, have been looking for ways to stay entertained and sane. For many of us, we choose to express our frustrations or anxiety through card making or general art. Today, I wanted to share of fun interactive card, that we can all relate to. For this project, I used this month Premium Membership Exclusive stamp set, "Armed and Dangerous". It has everything you need to document this current time in history. I specially love the toilet paper, that can be resized to fit your general theme or look. I have a full tutorial for this card up on my YouTube Channel , that i hope you will all enjoy. If you're not familiar with how the Premium Monthly exclusive wo...

Color Throwdown Challenge #497

Image
Hello everyone and welcome to another Card Making share! Inspired by this week's Color Throwdown Challenge colors (coral, teal, green and yellow) I created this card using a beautiful poppy stamp set from Stampendous. This floral stamp set is perfect for layered effects. I decided to heat emboss some white opaque embossing powder from Ranger Inc, on Canson Mixed Media paper. Once it was cool, I colored the images using Arteza clean brush markers, to create a watercolor effect. I love being able to get messy, and laying down my colors without worrying about transfer or bleeding. That's why heat embossing works so well. It's a carefree approach to watercoloring that's always a hit!

I fussy cut all my images, and used dimensional glue dots to adhere them to my card cover. Added a few Nuvo Crystal D...

Floral Mandala Thank You Card|Color Burst Watercolor Powders

Hello everyone! I've been a little M.I.A , but I'm back with this card I created, using the Floral Mandala background stamp from Hero Arts. Also wanted to use this opportunity to showcase some of the colors included in the Galaxy Color Burst set, and how to use these watercolor powders. I began my card by applying some anti-static powder over my Canson Mixed Media paper and then stamped the  Floral Mandala image  with some Versa Mark Clear Ink. I used my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to make sure I have a crisp, full image. For my embossed detail, I used Lawn Fawn Rose Gold Embossing powder, and melted it down with my brand new Wagner heat gun. This tool is amazing and worth every penny. It's so quick to melt my embossing powder, and that means less warping of my paper. Once everything was cool, I was able to use three of the Color Busrt colors in the set; Solar Flare, Jupiter and Terrestrial. By gently tapping the bottom of my bottles (once they're upside down), I get e...
