Sweet Christmas

Hi! Welcome to my Studio!

I have been having so much fun designing Christmas stamp sets and papers!

Our challenge this time around at Artsystamper Digitals is

Patterned Paper

For my inspiration piece, I decided to use the Poinsettia Pair papers along with the candy cane and sentiment from Sweet Santa. Naturally, the colors of the precolored images match perfectly!

I printed out the two papers in black and white backgrounds, along with the candy cane, which I sized large enough to be the main element for the card front. I also printed out a sentiment from Sweet Santa.

Using Tim Holtz' Snowflake Duo Bigz Die, an oldie but goodie, I cut two snowflakes from the white Poinsettia paper. As the background papers are layered, I was able to hide the cuts.

I fussy cut the candy cane, and layered it over the two snowflakes, which are outlined with glitter.

The leaves of the holly are coated with Dimensional Glue from Glitters Galore, the source for all the glitter and embossing powders I used on this card. The glue dries clear. The cane itself is covered with two colors of glitter.

I used and old embossing folder strip to give texture to the sentiment. The edges are also coated in glitter.

I used black embossing powder to heat emboss the brads, which were originally gold. I love that technique!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges...

For All Those Survivors Out There

When I first created this arrangement of images, I thought, "Gee, looks like someone is laughing at the desert." Yes. A survivor can laugh at the hardships they have gone through. It may take years, but it is definitely something to look back at, only to say,

"I made it!"

So for all our surviving friends, I want to say, you are an amazing person. You are strong, resilient and poweful...you are a Survivor!

I used my Marble Magic Paper Pack to create the background layer. It's a JPG.

I then layered the cactus, hat and skull from the Southwest Garden stamp set. They are all png's so they can be resized and layered, since they have no background. The set comes with color and black and white images, so by using the color ones, my card comes together quickly.

Here is the tutorial...enjoy!

Watercolor Background and Embossing Powder Painting

Hello and Welcome to My Studio!

As my name is Artsystamper, I do have a tendency to get pretty artsy with my cards sometimes.

This is an example of that. The vivid colors in the background just burst with the addition of embossing powder painting.

I used Aqua Flow Markers by Nuvo to do the first layer of colors, after I stamped with Versamark ink and a gorgeous stamp set called, Lovely Magnolia. I then "painted" with Stampendous embossing ink. I poured Amethyst, Red Apple, Venus Violet, and Antiquities Embossing Powders by Sparkle N Sprinkle, and heat set them one color at a time.

I sponged the edges of the card with Versafine Clair ink, using a Jumbo Dauber. I also inked the edges of the torn vellum layer with the ink.

In the video I also show how to create the sentiment, using the Aqua Flow Markers to create a watercolor background that I cut with the "love" die, by Tonic Studios.
