Creative Expressions Christmas Cards

Hi guys Dee here with a couple of cards for # Creative expressions, I know not my normal style but we have to push those boundry's. I have done a step by step for both cards.

CARD 3 

CHUBBY ROBIN CARD JGS729

By Dee Adams

STEP BY STEP

I took a piece of coconut card and inked it up with Colour Cloud Decadent Wine & Decadent Teal using a smoothie applicator. I just blended the inks onto the card in no particular way 

 

 I placed the stamp JGS729 Chubby Robin onto the Woodware stamp press WW2977 and inked it up with

Archival ink. I wasn't looking for a strong print as I didn't want the black to dominate the card & I wanted the background to show through the black ink. 

I wasn't looking for a strong print as I didn't want the black to dominate the card & I wanted the background to show through the black ink. I just went with the first press if you want the black bolder just re print the stamp making sure you have fixed your card down prior to starting.

 

Next I cut the print out leaving a boarder then distressed the edges with a distress tool. I poured a pile of detailed silver embossing powder CSDEPSILV onto a sheet of scrap paper. I ran an embossing pad round the edges of the card and then run it through the embossing powders creating a silver frame once heat set.

To finish off Cosmic shimmer Twinkles Aurora CSTAUR were applied to random clusters of berries

This was then placed onto a card of 6 x 6 card and stuck down with Cosmic Shimmer Andy Skinner quick grab glue CSASGGLUE. 

Here's my second card

Card 2 

Robin and Holly

By Dee Adams

Step by Step

I started with a piece of white cardstock and using a smoothie CESMOOTH I blended the inks Decadent Teal CSPMCCTEAL and Chic Aubergine CSPMCCAUBER across the card.

I then stamped the image from the Robin and Holly stamp JGS728 x 2 using the Woodware Stamp press WW2977 and Black Archival ink.

I then fussy cut out the top part of the Robin and glued it over the base card. Using Opal Blaze Touch Tip Teal Raspberry CSOBTTTEAL on his feathers. I cut into a square to fit a 

Next I used strata paste CSASSTRATA round the edges of the card I love this as it has pieces of mica in so these catch the colour and give it bits of translucency and dry. 

Put Cosmic Shimmer Icicle Blue Sparkle Texture Paste CSPASTSPICICLE ontop of the strata paste ensuring the strata paste has dried.

Once dried go back in with your smoothie to blend the colour into the edges don't worry as the sparkle will shine through.

Edge the sides with embossing ink and follow with Cosmic Shimmer detailed silver embossing powder CSDEPSILV and heat set.

Finally this was matted onto black card and attached onto a white 4 x 4 card.

I hope you all enjoyed the step by steps thanks for stopping by and let me know how you get on if you try it out.
