Sally CT - A Vintage journal page

Hi there! I am here with a vintage journal page step by step for you today.

I began by arranging some torn scraps of book page, music and patterned paper on a journal page and stuck it down with matte medium. 

next I stencilled some walnut stain distress ink around the edges where the papers hadn't quite met.

I found a torn piece of corrugated kraft card and sponged walnut stain ink around that too

I added some stamping using the doodle art mandala stamps again in walnut stain. 

next I attached the panel to the background, adding some braid too, with gel medium. 

with the tag inkables I added a bit of texture paste...

then used distress crayons in hickory smoke and salty ocean to add a few lines around the page. I also added a little gilding wax on the corrugated card and the texture paste, 

finishing off with a splatter of white gloss spray (not a spray - just unscrew the top, hold the pipe over the project and tap).

I stamped the three butterflies in versafine clair ink and coloured with ecolines before die cutting.

Finally I used gel medium to add these to the corrugated panel. 

Here is the finished page, although I might add some words to it...

I used:

A selection of papers to collage

dinkables set 11

Walnut stain distress ink

Doodle Art Mandalas 1 stamp set 

matte medium

Gel medium

Inkables tags set 1

Texture paste

Distress crayons

White gloss spray

Start with the palest Distress Oxide Inks & the Alternate Circles Inkable building up a bokeh style background on to your tag. I used Tumbled Glass to start, going very lightly at first… 

Next was Spun Sugar… keep rotating / moving the Inkable each time you change inks… 

Then Speckled Egg …

Kitsch Flamingo & Salvaged Patina to give a little more depth..

Then using the Regular Dots D’Inkable add Tumbled Glass & Kitsch Flamingo with a little more pressure.. 

Finally I used Brilliance Moonlight White over the top this gave the whole tag a softness / blurred look as in bokeh effects… 

Next spread some Stickles Glitter Gel through the Alternate Circles Inkable & leave to dry…

On a separate piece of paper stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment in embossing ink, sprinkle with gold powder, shake excess off & heat until molten. Cut out the sentiment..

When the gel is dry glue the sentiment onto it using foam pads & add a few sequins & a ribbon… 

Thank you for stopping by…

 Merry Christmas

Alison CT - Transparency ATCs

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a simple ATC project.

To begin I cut a piece of card into 3 ATC blanks (2.5" x 3.5"). I then used an off cut from one of the Catalyst papers from pack 2 to create backgrounds. I used Distress Collage Medium to glue them.

Next I blended picked raspberry distress oxide ink over the edges to blendany white edges into the papers.

Then I chose three of the faces transparencies and stapled them to the backgrounds. I used staples to add a further texture to the ATCs.

Finally, on a seperate piece of card, I stamped my chosen sentiment using versafine clair nocturne ink. I then cut it into three seperate pieces and glued them to my ATCs.

Products used:

White card

Bee Crafty Media Papers - Catalyst papers 2

Bee Crafty Transparency Prints A5 - Faces #4

Distress Collage Medium matte

Wordage - Ticker tape 3

Sally CT - icy tag

Hi There

Thought I would show you how I made this shimmery icy tag. 

I began by cutting the largest tag from mixed media paper and the larger mount from white card.
 

On the tag, I stamped the largest snowflake stamp in versamark ink and embossed in fine detail white embossing powder

I sprayed water onto the tag and sprinkled with explosion powder and left to dry

once it was dry I stuck it onto the white mount and added a winter wordy sticker, some sequins and a ribbon. 

Here is the finished tag once more.

I used :

Tag dies

Yuletide doodle art snowflakes XL

Versamark ink

Detail white embossing powder

Explosion powders

Winter wordy stickers

Mixed media paper

Alison CT - Noel

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a clean and simple Christmas card made using a stencil and one stamp.

To begin I taped the 6x6 Noel inkable to a 6x6 square of super smooth white card. I then blended lumberjack plaid distress ink through it, making sure I got ink into all the corners.

Once the ink was dry, I used a gold sharpie to outline the letters. I did this through the stencil.

On some white super smooth card I stamped the holly branch, from the Art Stamps Robin stamp set, four times using versafine clair morning mist ink.  I then coloured them with distress watercolour pencils, but this can be done with any media of your choice. I then cut them out leaving a small white border.

I then mounted the noel piece onto a piece of red card that was a quarter of an inch bigger. Next I glued this to a 7 inch square card blank. I glued one piece of the holly to each letter.

To finish the card I glued small red gems around the letters.

Products used:

Red and white card

6x6 Inkables - Noel

Distress Ink - Lumberjack plaid 

Gold Sharpie

Art stamps - Robin

Versafine clair - Morning mist
