QUICK TIP:

For today´s  Quick Tip, I have this sweet card with this adorable carrot Cake pops.  For this card  I colored the images with markers and to give them a look of gloss I added Brutus Monroe Embossing ink to the colored images and two coats of  Icicle Embossing Powder, this gives the images an amazing glossy look!!!  I used oxide inks for the background in  Cracked Pistachio and Peacock feathers and frame the entire panel with a white frame. 

Now is your turn, give a glossy look to your stamped images with Embossing Ink and Clear Embossing powder.  Remember also to join us at the Brutus Monroe Fan Club to know the latest news from Christopher and lots of inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

Adding White Embossing details to Watercolor

Hello my Craftin Desert Divas Friends, Waleska from craftinglovew here with a little tip to add snow elements to your watercolor cards! After this card, I think I am going to use more my Zig Clean Color markers... Do you have materials in your desk you've been wanting to use for a long time?  Well that happen to me and the Zigs, so is a good resolution for this 2018 to start using all those materias, don't you think? I had so much fun creating this card with this adorable images!!! Let me share with you my little tip:

CARD DETAILS:

I started creating my background piece with a watercolor card base, I added snow dots with a Ranger Embossing Marker and added white embossing powder.  Since the embossing powder resist the watercolor it works great to create a snow background.

After that I created some snow covered trees.  I put some embossing ink on the corners of the trees and added the white embossing powder snow details, and put the green color with the Zig Clean Color markers.  I color the bear and cute penguin with the same markers.

I finally added white embossing powder to the bottom part of the card to simulate ice and stamp the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

White embossing powder looks bright even with the different watercolors on top.  I hope you can give this idea a try! 

Have a wonderful Day!

Hello, there... It is time for another Pin-Sight Challenge at the ClassRoom blog, the beautiful inspiration for my card has lots of pinks and oranges...I did a very cool technique with Oxide Inks and vellum... Want to know how? let me share it with you.....

CARD DETAILS

I started with the vellum piece, I first put a little of  Spiced Marmalade in my Ranger Mat and I added a little bit of water... I wanted the ink to be thick, and smooshed the vellum into the oxide ink ( I did not add more water to the piece) I only added the oxide ink and dry it with a heat gun, I did the same thing with the Worn Lipstick ink in the parts I thought it needed.   When I finally got the look I wanted I flip the vellum piece and use the back of it for my card.

                              Vellum Front                           Vellum Back

I stamped with Embossing ink the Mondo Hydrangeas in the right corner of the vellum and added gold embossing powder I also added the same gold embossing powder to the Be-You-tiful Ellen Hutson Die to match the flowers. To frame everything I used the Postage die from Avery Elle in white cardstock. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh the Clear Mix.

I love the effect on the vellum, it kind of looks like Marble, the Oxide inks look Awesome on vellum, but remember you have to use the back of your piece!

Hugs, 

Waleska

Good Luck

Hello friends, today I want to share with you a 

card I made for the Ellen Hutson Pin-Sight Challenge

the inspiration for this challenge is so beautiful

lots of greens and golds.

For this card I use the Stamp Set

Thankful by Julie

I use gold embossing powder for the flowers

I also emboss some leafs with Versafine ink

To give the beautiful color I use Distress Ink

I did two cards one with water drops and one 

without the water.

I love this washi tape by doodlebugs I use it

as an embellishment to go with the black leafs.

Here is the second example, I love the look

of the embossing and the water.

Hope you can be inspired by this card, 

fingers crossed for the $50 prize.

From cute to spook!

Hello finally friday!!! today I share with you some tags I made with some of the cutest piggies that became spooktacular with some details.... let me share with you how to do it:

I use the Hog Heaven stamp set from MFT, a Lawn Fawn ghost from the Spooktacular set and some

cut images from my Silhouette Cameo

 Let's see how to turn this cutie to that frightful dracula piggie

The first thing I did was draw the little fags with a realy fine pen 

then I colored the piggie with different shades of grey and finally I draw some little details on his head a little black pants and a bow with my black marker 

For the background I use Distress Inks in colors Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet

And here it is....

Monstruos Birthday/Waleska Galindo

Happy Saturday my Crafty Friends..... Some days ago I received an email about a contest to win a $250 Voucher from My Favorite things.... I love the idea of having $250 to buy from them, I would literally die.... I can enter a maximum of 3 card designs this is my first card.... It has to be a spooky card with my all time favorites Frightful Friends... I also used the balloons from Beary Special Birthday and the sentiment from Monster love... Since my birthday is coming soon I was thinking of a card, I wish someone will give me... a Happy Hallowbirthday Card how about that?

I would definitely love it.... well this one is for myself, I guess.....

I also use Distress Inks in colors Wilted Violet and Black Soot 

And some Ranger Holographic Embossing Powder to give it some birthday sparkle.

Happy Saturday to all and good luck...

Fingers crossed MFT like my card!!!!!

MFT Frightful Friends card

Hello, there... I want to share how I did this spooky card with you...

First I cut from my new MFT Die-namics Double Stitched Stax a watercolor paper

For this card I use the Smooshing Technique, with some Distress ink in candid apple and some water. To do this technique you need to use a transparency and smooshed it in the distress ink 

Like this...

And after that you smooshed the transparency sheet with the distress ink right into the paper... this is a great effect to create a more artistic look sometimes but in this card I wanted to look like blood!!!

Then I start stamping with my memento ink because I was going to use some markers for the coloring, I want to say this MFT Frightful Friends stamp set is one of my all time favorites.

I did some basic coloring... and I put some Embossing Powder to the dracula wings to give it a little bit of sparkle

I had this Spellbinders Graveyard Scenes Die for so long, I can even remember... I use just part of this die cut.

After that I started to assemble all the card!!

And BOO!!!! This card is done... I love the bloody look....

For the materials they are highlight in red if you have any questions feel free to ask!
