Mustaa mustetta - kortti

 Hyvää lauantaita, tervetuloa Allsorts haasteen pariin! Viikon aiheena "kohokansiot ja / tai kohojauheet eli embossaus. Nyt pistin kyllä sellaisen sotkun aikaiseksi, että tähän tekniikkaan pitää palata paremmalla ajalla. Kannattaa kurkata upeita tuotoksia ja neuvot täältä.

Happy Saturday, it's time for a new Allsorts Challenge! Technique theme is "embossing, dry and/or hot"
Welcome to join in.

I'm trying a new technique, I got a hint from my teamie Hilary. She had found this blog called Group of Seven Cardmakers - advice from experienced cardmakers on techniques and products.
Take a look the amazing samples there are. This is my quick one, with black fingermarks all over!

I got to try this all in better time, this how it goes: "watercolouring a background using re-inkers ( I used Brusho's) to create a very saturated, vibrant background.  Once that is dry, an embossing folder ( Sizzix) is used to add dimension to the colourful card at the same time as adding black ( Versa Fine Clair Nocturne) ink to the background. After embossing through BS I hot embossed the surface with WOW EP. Golden mirri cardstock and Christmas die cut sentiment in Finnish.
It's more green and vivid alive, so hard to take a good pic.

Another Christmas card, now in more white colours. My new Spellbinders die cut set "Stitched Christmas sweater" - I've done many cards with it, here's with dry embossed background.

Black and white! A pic from last weekend, we have snow ( a little). I like to put candles outside, they are so beautiful when it's dark. Happy weekend! Me and hubby are in a short trip, a hotel visit to Imatra. And sorry I still can't comment some blogs. Blogger is so weird...

Talvisynttärikortit - Winter Blue Cards

 Mukavaa lauantaita, uusi Allsorts korttihaaste alkaa taas, aiheena tällä viikolla kaikki käy tai "talven siniset" !

Mallikorteiksi tein sínisävyiset synttärikortit talvella juhliville. Jouluhässäkän jälkeen oli kiva vähän kokeilla uutta ja sotkea vähän väreillä! Inspiraation korttiin sain Instagramista WOW kohojauhe- sivuilta. Käytin sekä kohokansiota että valkoista kohojauhetta kuumailmapuhaltimen kanssa, DI sinisiä musteita veden ja kuplamuovin kanssa!
(Valitettavasti kuvasta kaikki vaiheet eivät näy, mutta kivaa oli.)
