Birthday Wishes from the Stars

Hello.  Gail from the design team here today with some more inspiration for the Rubber Dance colour challenge.  

I've used Bohemian Woman for my main image, Milky Way for the background and the sentiment is from Happy Birthday

I made a resist background by stamping the image from Milky Way with Versamark ink and embossing with white powder.  Then I gave it a watercolour wash with Worn Lipstick distress ink.  Any ink wipes off the embossing to give this pretty contrast.   



I stamped and embossed Bohemian Woman with black embossing powder.  I coloured her with distress inks, sharpies and a gold pilot pen.  I cut round the image and added a red mat.  The sentiment was black embossed on red card and I used a red card base.  


 Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you have time to join the Rubber Dance challenge and make a little something with these fun hot colours.  Hugz

Thank you so much, Gail! Love your resist background!! It has been a while since I've seen anyone use the Bohemian Woman, so it's nice that she gets a come-back. Love your card, and I bet the lucky birthday girl who receives it will, too! ♥ ♥ ♥

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between
