Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Hello Friends…

This is my first WHW Tutorial…

Today I am making a shaker card with our new Christmas release

I have made a Christmas Ornament with a scene…

Let’s begin with a step-by-step tutorial…

Take a piece of white cardstock slightly larger than the ornament that you want to create & draw a circle in the middle.

Create a mask with a piece of Post-it- Note or masking tape in shape of a curve & stick it on the bottom of the circle as shown in the picture above …

Slightly ink with Tumbled Glass Distress ink along the edges & stamp the reindeer from Build a Stocking stamp set with Black Archival ink without removing the mask.

Now make another mask & ink it with Tumbled Glass Distress ink along the edges as shown in the picture above…

Now stamp the tree from Build a Stocking stamp set with Black Archival ink without removing the mask.

Now take the first mask & mask almost half the circle as shown in the above pic.

Ink the whole circle with Broken China, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire Distress inks… keep the edges a bit darker than the center.

 Remove the mask… To create the stars/ snowflakes take a little perfect pearls, mix it with water & create small dots with it…

Now take a 4”x5.25” of white cardstock & die cut a circle in the middle.  Cut 2 more small circle & heat emboss the snowflakes from Build a Stocking stamp set in silver… Ink them both…

Stick a piece of acetate / Clear cardstock to cover the hole and Add foam tape around the circle’s edge with out leaving any gap from inside …

Add a little Twinklets Diamond Dust or any shaker element like micro beads or sequins & stick the scene we created earlier…

Add the small ornaments on both sides.

Add some silver die cuts, strings & some rhinestones to complete this panel…

Matte this panel with silver cardstock & mount on a A2 top folding card base.

Heat emboss the sentiment from Big Holidays stamp set… Cut the banner & add it with foam tape on the card front.

The diamond dust looks like snow when shaked… When my younger sister saw this she couldn’t stop playing with this card… Lol…

I hope you like my card & give it a try… Thank you for visiting today…  J

Amazing Asters

Hello friends...

Welcome to  another day of Designer Spotlight & Weekend Inspiration for IBS...

Today I am sharing a new card make with Flower Of The Month: Aster...

I love coloring but I am new to coloring with alcohol markers ...

Today I am sharing a card that uses alcohol markers...I will also share some helpful tips & tricks that I use to embellish my cards... 

So here is the card for today...

I have stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink  as it is water based ink & it won't bleed when you use alcohol markers...

I have used Spectrum Noir markers for coloring...

After coloring the image I fussy cut it...& framed it with a die cut in such a way that it looks like the flowers are coming out of the frame... 

I think it adds the dimension & 3D effect... so fun..

Since the flowers are so bright with a  black frame I thought it would pop up on a white background... But I didn't want the plain white background so I embossed it to add some texture & matted it with black cardstock...

I think the texture that embossing adds makes a big difference to the card without distracting from the focal point...

Then I added some black & white twine & a bow to the bottom...

I didn't have a matching card base color so I cheated & that's another trick that I use many times...  ;)

I took the same green marker that I used for the leaves & colored the border of my card base... Tadddaaa... I have a card base that perfectly matched my focal point...

The card at this point looked pretty good but for me it lacked something... BLING...

I love adding a bit of sparkle to my projects... & so I added 2 sizes of silver rhinestones in a triangle pattern on my card...

Now I was always confused how to does this triangle pattern work...

I did some research & now here is what  I understood... I make a big triangle with 3 small triangle... If you observe closely you will see I have one small triangle on the top right corner, one on the left below the small flower & one on the right near the twine with the 'i' from amazing frame as one of the triangle points... & when you join all the 3 triangles it forms a bigger triangle.. I hope I am making sense..  :P

As a last finishing touch I added a tiny ladybug (made with viva pearl pens) on the leaf.

Thanks you for visiting...
