Summer Backgrounds

Hello dear Friends:

Here are some of my last "marine" themed cards...
These 2 cards are made using 2 unique and very different background techniques...

This card is one of the cards that I taught at my local craft store at the beginning of July...

the background is made using alcohol inks on glossy paper...

close up of the seal which was colored with "Copic" markers

as well as the lighthouse

Here are the 3 cards taught at that class

This second card is made with several stamps in order to create a fun background

stamp the different elements; die cut them and place them all over to create a background

add a sentiment in vellum and Voilà!

I hope I gave you some ideas 

to create your unique paper backgrounds 

Thanks for the company

Alcohol Inks background With NEW Memory Box Dies

Hello Dear Friends:

A fun Background and Technique....
for this cute Jelly-fish die from The NEW release of dies for this spring from Memory Box

Alcohol inks on gloss paper with spray dust remover

- On glossy paper, place several drops of alcohol ink...
- immediately (the alcohol ink dries VERY fast) spray air in all directions with the straw provided
- I use a can of "quickly remover of dust" (for your computer keypad) which is compressed air...

the result is this

I made one sheet and I can use it for several cards

detail of the jelly-fish die cut also in vellum, see corners...

Alcohol Inks, Embossing Paste and Stencils on an Easel Card! and a VIDEO!

Hello My Dear crafty and stamper Friends:

I made this card for Mother's day...
But I could not posted last Sunday,  because I had scheduled it to be featured at the English blog of Memory Box: "Outside the Box" for today...so I could not show it before!!!

REMEMBER to Comment there TODAY for the chance to win this stencil!

But the card can be giving anyways for a birthday or for Mother's day in FRANCE, which is celebrated this coming May 25th!  (Or save it for next year!! :) )

So "Bonne Fête Maman!"

But I think, what it is important here, it is the technique...!

As I mentioned yesterday, I used this same stencil "garden Umbel" in a mix media canvas (yesterdays' post) see next...

and today I used it here in this post with alcohol inks and "Pearlescent" embossing paste and look how different they are...aren't they? it seems like it is a different stencil!!!
