Gladys and her scarf

Hi everyone,

I haven’t had Gladys out for a while and thought it was time she showed herself again. So she wouldn’t be too cold (after all it is Winter here) I gave her a hat and a wrap around scarf. Also added a bit of tinsel to her hat.

Here she is.

I first starting by creating my background using two different colours of Mica spray.

I then applied a Rose stencil using translucent crackle paste over top.

The crackle paste gives such fine detail cracks.

I also sprayed a bit of the 2 colours over top of the crackled image once it was dry. 

I added a Ledger Script stamp with black ink to the areas where the crackled image wasn’t.

The script just adds a little something to the card front.

Well that’s it for my card today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

The Journey is the Destination

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that is for the theme of Red, White and Blue on the Simon Says Stamp blog Monday challenge. Details can be found here

I started by applying my stencil to a white piece of card stock. I ink blended 3 different colours of Distress oxide inks over the stencil. The darkest is the new Uncharted Mariner ink which is such a gorgeous colour. When dry I added some translucent crackle paste over some of the pattern.

I blended some red ink to the outer edges of my panel and then stitched over the edges with red thread.

The sentiment was stamped in black ink and Uncharted Mariner Distress oxide ink was blended over the edges.

I coloured 3 Idea-ology mirrored stars with Red Pepper alcohol ink.

The sentiment was added with foam tape and the stars were glued down directly.

Well that’s it for my card today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
