My brain sure does come up with some "interesting" ideas at times ---
Group of Seven Cardmakers product theme this month is Embossing Paste and I enjoyed the effects with my first purple card, so I came up with the idea to add some patterned texture to my latest fad with Christmas Baubles.I mixed up some Impasto Medium with Gold Pearl Powdered Pigment and searched through my stencils to find some swirly patterns. Then using a mask I added the paste to my dry watercoloured baubles.
On my first card I masked the bauble and added some stamped foliage, and stamped pearl gold embossed sentiment and after I made a mess of the hanging topper, I covered it over with a die cut section of a fancy edge.... I also made a mess of the bottom when I didn't move the card away from my work area when I decided to add splatters to my second card.
On my second card - which resulted from the fact I mixed up too much embossing paste, I just added a stamped embossed sentiment and the after thought of some splatters (I'll have to practice these because I got them everywhere and more blobs than I would have liked) and drew on the hanging topper with a gold gel pen
I am also joining Darnell with her NBUS April challenge - my NBUS is the Impasto Medium to make embossing paste and as it's the April Fools Big Fat Boo Boo month - my cards fit that very well'.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a wonderful day, Cheers Robyn
Your embossing paste design on your ornaments is so beautiful, Robyn!! What a fantastic idea and it worked beautifully. I love the splatters, big and small make it more interesting ... so you did a great job! :) Thanks again for sharing your card with us at Gof7. xx
ReplyDeleteYou're too hard on yourself, Robyn! I wouldn't have considered your booboos to be booboos if you hadn't mentioned them! I love how you added a stenciled paste design to your baubles! You've made these cards into table-top yearly decorations by doing that, IMHO! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS and celebrate making our booboos work! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteBeautiful effect with the Embossing paste, I love how you made the mask to create your bauble. Thanks for playing along with this technique at GOS ♥
