Salty the Snowman

Here is my snowman card made whilst on my recent course with Audrey and Wendie. I stamped the snowman with blue inks and watercoloured out the edges adding some green and red for the holly and orange for the carrot nose. The background was made using Starburst Stains and sprinkling with coloured salt whilst still wet. When the inks dry brushed off the salt to leave the little coloured indentations - a new technique for me and very effective I think. This is my entry for the My Time to Craft 'Snowman' challenge this week.

More from Audrey's course

This pink background was created using Starburst Stains overlayed with a layer of clingfilm to get the wrinkled effect and edged with a silver pen.
The snowman image was stamped with black Stazon onto Fancy Fibres and Film and ironed - yes ironed (I don't do ironing lol) - then glittered with Stickles of course.

The adorable penguins from a Wendie Rhodes set were stamped then glittered using clear Stickles and mounted onto a torn background of burgundy card sprayed with a couple of Starburst stains to get the mottled effect. This was then mounted onto a background created using a multi coloured ink pad and a brayer.

Swirls and Flourishes

Here is another card made using Glenda's wonderful new stamps. The background card is spritzed and sprayed with Glimmer Mists and Starburst Stains then overstamped in Midnight Blue Stazon using the swirl and flourish stamps. I took some blue holographic card and oversprayed with white Webbing Spray then attached the stamped image of the star. This too was layered on silver holographic card with webbing spray and colour tinted with inks to match the background. I just added the stamped sentiment on the same sprayed card. I have used this for my own challenge of 'Swirls and Flourishes' this week.
