Paint Me A Rainbow with Mindy

Welcome back everyone! It's Mindy Eggen here with you today with a very colorful card.

I started by stamping this little girl from the Complementary Color stamp set is copic friendly ink onto Neenah Solar White card stock. I knew I was going to a rainbow shooting out of the tube so I colored the label in rainbow colors.

For the colorful burst I used the Landscape stencil. I actually cut it a part a little so I could frame off this area and have it swooping out. I then masked off the rest of the card with post it tape to protect it from colors.

I ink blended Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet Distress Ink with a blending brush. With the masks and stencil still in place, I applied Moonstone Glimmer paste over the blended area.

Check out that sparkly rainbow!

When everything was dry, I stamped the sentiment to the bottom of the card. I used the Thank You sentiment from the Sweet Treats stamp set and stamped in Altenew Obsidian Ink.

Copic Colors used: Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00; Hair - E39, E37, E34; Dress - V17, V15, V12; Paint Tube - C6, C4, C3, C1; Paint Tube Label - R17, YR04, Y15, YG25, BG05, V15, C3, C1

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration!

Create a One Layer Background with Stencils

Welcome back everyone! I have summer on the brain and put it on a card. Join me today as I create a one layer background using stencils from Neat & Tangled.

VIDEO DETAILS

I have a video that you can view down below or HERE on my Youtube channel showing how to put these stencils to work!

I stamped my images from To The Stars and Beach Day onto Neenah Solar white card stock with Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink. Then colored with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I wanted to show you how these cute fairies can be used for more than just night time skies.

Now, I did say one layer background with stencils. The card itself is not one layer because we will be adding the die cut images. To create the one layer background, I'm going to use the Landscape Duo Stencil. This fits together like a puzzle and is great for masking off areas.

A super easy way to hold down your stencils, especially intricate ones is spray Pixie Dust onto the back of the stencils. This is a temporary adhesive from Thermoweb. After spraying, let it sit for a minute and the back of your stencils will be tacky enough to hold down to the card stock but won't rip the paper when you remove it. It's amazing. I sprayed the back of my stencils with the Pixie Spray.

Then, I ink blended Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide inks with a Life Changing Blender Brush. I squished my Gathered Twigs onto my glass media mat, spritzed with water and flicked on specks of the color. This adds a fun texture and more interest to the sand.

Next, I added in the other piece of the Landscape Duo stencil. This piece will fit right on top of the sand, masking it so we can ink blend some water right above it. I ink blended Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feather Distress Oxide Inks. Then added the Rice Paddies stencil over the top and applied more Peacock Feathers to add interest to the water. I removed the stencil to reveal my beach scene in-the-making.

Using post it tape, I masked off my beach and ink blended Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber for the sky. This adds such a nice, warm Summer feel to the card. I'm in love with how this is turning out!

I finish off my card by adding my images. I die cut Summer from Peacock card stock and layered up three times for dimension.

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration. Don't forget to visit the video HERE walking you through the steps. Thanks for joining me today.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Dear Neat&Tangled friends!

Daria here and if you stoped by today, I want to wish you a magical holiday season, as well as to share a couple of cards. 

Here, in Russia, we mostly celebrate Orthodox Christmas that is on a January 7th. First comes the New Years. I made two cards for this still upcoming celebration. 

I love all kinds of star nights backgrounds. So, I made one like Northern Lights using Landscape duo stencils. 

I overlapped them many times, and applied differed distress inks starting from the lightest to darkest. To mimic stars and snow, I used glitter stickles. 

My second card features Warm Winter Scene Cover plate. That is one of my favorites from the 2017.

Quick tip: I didn't have time to inlay all those little pieces of windows, so I just glued my starry houses on top of the white ones.  

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

xoxo.

Gilding Flakes with Oak Leaf and Landscape Duo Stencil

Hello everyone,  It's Bibi Cameron here and I'm glad to share a new post with you today with a couple of ideas to create easy paper-craft projects using Oak Leaf stamp set and Oak Leaf die and Landscape Duo Simply Stencil.

 I had so many ideas when I got the Landscape Duo Simply Stencil in my hands. I was a bit intrigued too and I wanted to try several things with them. 

I was experimenting a little bit and I understood that you can use these stencils to create amazing colorful geometrical backgrounds just by overlapping them in different ways and adding different inks, mousses, spray  paints or you can even heat emboss a nice background by using the stencil with clear Versamark Ink and embossing powders... Perhaps you could also go further and have some fun building seasonal scenes with mountains and a sky, or try to mix and match the stencils with Landscape Textures stamp set. The Sky's the limit!

So when I was experimenting with the Landscape Duo Stencil all my attention went into using the stencils to create metallic paper using Gilding Flakes and I had a terrific time doing this...  it is so relaxing! I hope you don't mind I invite my toddler  Emma to join me and she also applied the flakes but she insisted she wanted to use the Ballon Duo Stencil instead so that's what we did in the video here!

I made a couple of tags/ toppers to embellish a treat bag,  a present, a box and I also made a card using the same design elements.

Below a few pictures of the quick and easy  projects in the video

That's all.

I hope you enjoy the projects, the video and to be able to inspire you to give this technique a try!

Happy Crafting

Distress Oxide Scene with Kelly Latevola

Hello Crafters! 

How's your Autumn going? 

Mine's been 90 degrees everyday and I live in Ohio. 

It's like an Autumn miracle and I love it! 

I'm sucking in every bit of sunshine I can get before the snow starts flying around here. 

Since it's been so beautiful here I was inspired to see what I could do to create a fall inspired card. 

I combined an older set and some of our brand new products to create this bright fall card. 

I love the foxes for Christmas but I thought maybe they'd like to cuddly in the sunshine. I mean, who doesn't like to lay in the sunshine right?!

The background scenery was created with Distress Oxides and our new Landscapes Duo Stencils make it super easy to build up that hilly background. 

You can see the entire card come to life in the video below. 

I really love how those Distress Oxides create such a soft background. The colors really melt right into each other! Speaking of colors, how cool is it to be able to achieve different looks by just changing up one or two colors? 

That trick has saved  card more times than I can count haha

Those sky colors still have me swooning. You'll probably be seeing that combination a lot more from me! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
