Make a Mixed Media Christmas Card With Colorburst
15
STEPS
TOOLS
Gather your stamping supplies we will emboss in gold and silver!
After stamping with a watermark ink cover with embossing powder
Using a heat gun melt your powder
Shiny surfaces ready to paint!
Add your sentiments and emboss
This is my palette you can dilute small amounts of Colorburst to paint your pieces
Alizarin crimson and Terre verte over gold
Ready for some background or not, your choice!
Pinks and reds, i potentially have 3 cards out of one sheet of paper
Fuchsia over silver, lime green in the leaves
Louis metal in gold for the center
Liquid metal in verdigris to paint over the leaves, it's the shinny season after all!
Jade works well too
Background with turquoise, spray water over your brush loaded with paint !
Subtle effects with the spray over brush technique!
Love this background!
Now it's time to trim your cards!
3 perfect pieces from one piece!
One is a tag 2 are cards
Follow the embossing line and hand cut the centerpiece of your poinsettia
Use your fingers to curl the petals
Adhere off center so the petals don't match. You'll create the illusion of a bigger flower and will also add dimension!
Your completed tag with some textural elements
Add rhinestones to the center
A small 4" x 4" for gift cards!
I added some tiny jingle bells to the center for a festive look! More from me? Come visit www.milagroscrivera.blogspot.com
