How to create a set of greeting cards with brandy - B+C Guides

STEPS
TOOLS

                I started out by applying a coat of gesso to heavy cardstock pieces. I already have them cut to fit on my card bases.
            
                Next I used my Chevron stencil and some paste to give my cards texture.
            
                I give my cards a few sprays of water, then w/ gorgeous Fiesta Velvet paint, I dab a little on some parts of the surface. Keep dabbing it well until only a few thick spots are left.
            
                Then dry with heat tool. It leaves a great result!
            
                Again, i do it with the other card too.
            
                Beautiful.
            
                For fun with a contrasting green color, I chose Tink Sorbet paint! Water it down smooth, then brush a little in the remaining corners. Using a paint brush splatter a little around on the card too.
            
                When it dries that green is going to sparkle!!
            
                To start my embellishing, I added some coordinating flower trim and glued it down with Fabri-tac glue. For more interest I added a few spots of text with a stamp and ink.
            
                Now for some chipboard accent pieces and wood wool.
            
                Once you love the flower placement, glue them down.
            
                Lastly I add a few paper clay embellishments and titles! 
            
                All done! I like to adhere my finished cards to their bases with double sided tape instead of glue. It minimizes any warping the cardstock did while creating.
            
                Now I have two once of a kind cards to brighten someone's  day! Thanks for stopping by. I hope I've inspired you!!
