Hello, Kraftie Friends!
I made a card today, inspired by the colors Red, White & Blue...
I'm trying out a 3-D embossing folder I got (Star Fall - Sizzix) and the best way to get a good 3-D impression is to spray water on your paper before embossing. The only thing is that you'll have wait for it to dry before using it on a project...
I brushed dye inks on the embossed panel and die cut it. Then, I brushed it with CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush.
Sentiment (CTMH) was stamped and fussy cut, and I also brushed some red ink + Clear Shimmer Brush before adhering on card with Foam Tape.
Challenges:
1. Cupcake Inspirations #547: Oh My Stars
2. Simon Says Mon: Red, White and/or Blue
3. International Art & Soul #137: Red, White & Blue
4. Get Creative #113: Red, White & Blue!
5. Heart2Heart: Patriotic Pride
6. CAS on Friday #234: Thank You
Hello, Kraftie Friends!
Finally, I'm feeling better enough to craft a bit (my whole family had COVID)...
I was just watching "Encanto" for the "100th" time a couple days ago...so, I'm still in butterflies and flowers mode...but I guess will also start some "Summer" projects soon...
This card was made using supplies I already had in my scrap box...all I had to do was color the butterfly with alcohol-based markers.
Challenges:
3. Can You Handle the Pressure? AGoes with Embossing with a twist of Things with Wings
4. Simon Says Mon: Inspired by a Movie
