Orange Christmas – for Visible Image

Orange Christmas – for Visible Image

Oh, hey, wait…. is that orange? With a touch of turquoise?
Yep! It is, and it is a christmas card!! LOL Why not? Got a crazy feeling of mixing some non traditional christmas colors and I think it become pretty nice! It’s my day over at Visible Image and I’ve played with some new and some old Christmas stamps. The orange (cool huh?) card is made with brand new stamps. Snowflake is from the set called White Christmas, and the beautiful sentense is called Christmas Memories.

I’ve worked on watercolor paper and just randomly dripped color from mist bottles in orange and turquoise / teal colors. Dryed and dripped again and round up with just mists of water. Continue until you like what you see… not more complicated than that.

I stamped my snowflakes and the sentense and then draw a frame (line) around my square of color. Finally I added glitter glue to the snowflakes to have them sparkle.

For the brownish card I actually used my spray mists as mists! It’s gold and some moss green blended. I dried it with my heat gun and stamped the Christmas Colllage on top. As the paper it’s a bit rough the image will be a bit “distressed”, just keep that in mind! Finished it up with glitter tape and a button.

Pink Christmas – for Visible Image

Pink Christmas – for Visible Image


Rockin’ around the christmas tree…

Guess what? I’ve played with the brand new Christmas stamps from Visible Image this weekend! Whohooo, they are totally amazing if you like to play around with colors, papers, mixed media or whatever. My passion is spray mists and watercolors, so that is what I have for you today!

The “rockin’ around the christmas tree” card is colored with watercolors on watercolor paper. Randomly picked and brusched on wet paper. When it was dry I splattered a tiny bit of blue on top and then stamped the tree and the sentense. Since it’s watercolor paper with a pretty rough surface you won’t get the totally black image you’ll get on smooth paper. I think it just adds texture to the piece, but if you want it perfect black – pick a smooth paper! Stamp set is called Rockin’ around, and you’ll find it HERE!

Then I’ve made a pink (!) christmas card. *gasp* But isn’t it kind of cool and pretty? Once again I’ve used watercolor paper, but this time with mists in pink and grey/silver-ish. Let it dry and stamped the beautiful collage stamp “Christmas Collage” on top. Like the other card, since it’s stamped on water color paper it adds texture to the image since the paper is a bit rough. The big snowflakes are grungeboard that I’ve painted with white gesso and added glitter to. Notice the badge in the middle of the big snowflake? It’s home made, and I’ve stamped the snowflake from the White Christmas set on a pink paper, cutted out in the right size for the badge and put it together. Think it become a beautiful center piece.

Idag blir det julkort i lite annorlunda färger! Varför måste man hålla sig till dom vanliga färgerna? Nä, lek och ha skoj istället. Dom nya julstämplarna från Visible Image är såååå läckra att ha till lite mixed media-liknande projekt. Jag har lekt med spraymister och akvarellfärger på dessa kort.

Vi kör rosa – för Engströms

Vi kör rosa – för Engströms

Pink Christmas? I think it works. Most often I forget about using untraditional christmas colors, but when I do I realise it works just fine. Todays card is for Engströms.

*************************

En rosa jul? Tja, varför inte. Jag är lite dålig på att använda otraditionella julfärger, men nu skärpte jag till mig och det gick ju alldeles utmärkt att köra på rosa. Mer sånt! Det här är dagens kort för Engströms.

I really like to mask stamp images together and build a scene. This time I did it with digital stamps, and wow – that was SO EASY! Should be doing this more often.

*************************

Jag föll för dessa nya stämplar (digisar) från Make it Crafty, och kunde inte motstå att bygga ihop en liten scen med dom. Jag gillar att maska och sätta ihop stämplar osv, men har aldrig tänkt på att det är SUPERENKELT med digisar! Det här måste helt klart göras lite oftare. För att få ett ungefär hum om hur stort det skulle bli så gjorde jag först en ram på 10×10 cm i datorn, och så placerade jag alla motiv jag ville ha inuti den. Det gjorde ju inget om nått stack ut, för planen var att skära precis innan för linjen sen. Kan tipsa om att Make it Crafty har en utmaning den här månaden som handlar precis om att bygga ihop en scen!
