Ink smooshed and glitter paste background kind reminder card

 I started with a piece of Tim Holtz watercolour paper, and smooshed some ink pads onto my glass media mat, sprayed some water and then put my watercolour card onto this and smooshed it around, drying it with my heat tool in between and doing repeated smooshing until I was happy with it.  I then left it to dry. 


Once dry I stuck it down on a board with some painters tape, to make sure it stayed flat, and using a stencil, I spread some nuvo glimmer paste – moonstone, over the stencil and then peeled it off, this left a pretty pattern that will be just glitter and can see the ink colours behind.  I then left that to be totally dry.

 


I trimmed this down and stuck it onto my card base.  I then stamped the two large flower images from the Kind reminders stamp set, with versafine black ink, and then using the stencil that co-ordinates with the stamp, and two ink colours for both the flowers and leaves, I coloured the images in.  This was quick and great if you don’t want to spend time painting or colouring in the images with other mediums. 


I fussy cut the two images out, and also the sentiment I chose and had stamped, put some foam tape onto the backs and stuck them onto the card.  I was just going to use one image and the sentiment, but decided to use both.  Finally I stuck some gems randomly around the images and sentiment, and that was the card finished.   


I have a video of making the card.

3D embossing folder Card

 These cards are using the lovely Altenew 3D Beautiful Bergenia embossing folder, both are very similar, one I coloured the entire embossed area with a brush and ink, the other I was more selective, only coloured the middle parts of flowers and leaves with ink and a sponge dauber.

My cards are 5” x 7” but the embossing folder is 6” x 6”, so what I did was create a sentiment panel by embossing above and below where I wanted the strip to be on two card panels.





 
Then this is where I coloured them slightly differently.  I used one of Altenew’s blending brushes and used some oxide ink and went over the whole embossed area very lightly.  The second card I just inked a few areas, just the centres of the flowers and base of leaves, just to highlight them slightly. I then went ahead and stamped the sentiments into the blank strip I had created.  Then stuck them to my card base
 
Then it was a matter of decorating them.  The apricot coloured one, I stamped the ‘positive vibes’ flower spray with the Pink fresh studio cube stamps in the ‘heartbeat' set, and the greens with the ‘ Garden stroll‘ set. Then fussy cut it out, put some foam tape on the back, to raise it slightly, and then stuck it down beside the sentiment. 




For the blue one, I wanted to use the leftover roses from my valentines card, but felt they were a bit lost on the busy background, so decided to stick down part of a paper doily, and then put the flowers on top of that, and that looked better.
 
 

I was really happy with how both these cards turned out, I love embossed backgrounds but haven't done any in awhile, so love the look of these.



I have a video of making the card.
