Die Cut Masking And Spray Mists With Kara

Good Morning, Guys!  It's Kara and I'm back with more May release inspiration.  I'm using the Large Butterfly Frame Die again.  This time I've used it to create a mask!

 

 

I started by die cutting the Large Butterfly Frame out of masking paper.  I peeled off the backing and popped out all the wing pieces.  I placed the die cut onto white cardstock and burnished it with a bone folder to make sure all edges were firmly adhered.

 

 

Once the mask was firmly in place I sprayed the cardstock with Lake House, Silver Lining, and Shimmer PURE Color Spray Mist.  I left the piece to dry before removing the mask.  Once it was dry I removed the mask and then die cut the piece with the large stitched rectangle from the Gift Card Layers Die.  With some black dye ink I stamped this large sentiment from the Lucky Stars stamp set.  I die cut some black cardstock with the butterfly from the Small Butterfly Frame Die and coated it with clear Wink Of Stella.

 

 

I die cut a panel of black cardstock using the same large rectangle die to layer behind the main panel.  I love the way it turned out and all of that shimmer!

 

 

A super easy and fun technique that is perfect for this new die! I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by today.  See you next time!

Spray Mist Marbling With Kara

Hi Guys! It's Kara and if you didn't know, I love marbling!  I've tried everything from copic refills to chalk pastels to nail polish!  Check out the Nail Polish Marbling tutorial I shared here this time last year. 

 

 

When Dawn released the WPlus9 line of PURE Color Spray Mists I knew I had to try them as well.  The technique is much the same as with the nail polish.  I even made a quick video on Instagram showing you just how I did it.  You can check that out here.

 

I simply filled a small, shallow container with water.  Lightly spritz the water with your desired color of spray mist.  Swirl the colors together with the end of a paintbrush or artist spatula.  Place your cardstock onto the surface of the water and then remove.  The color adheres to the surface of the cardstock.  Allow the piece to dry and then it's ready for you to create with! 

 

Experiment with different color combinations.  I chose a few of my favorites: Lake House, Sweet Gelato, Sweet Nectar and Bloomsberry.  Each piece turns out so unique.  Not wanting to cover up the beautiful marble design, I stamped a sentiment in the center from Love You More.  I stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

This card is for my husband.  We are celebrating 13 years on Tuesday the 31st!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you try this out.  If you do, let me know!! I'd love to see.

VIDEO: Focal Point Sentiments with Layering

Hey guys, it's Dawn here with a video for you that is a little different than my normal style. Today's video features the That Is All stamp set from our February 2016 Release along with lots of other fun stuff. I love when a sentiment becomes the focal point of a card, and with a little bit of "ephemera" this is easy to do.

Watch below to see how I created my own ephemera using supplies that I'm sure you have on hand and pulled it all together.

Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

And when you're on a roll, why stop at one?

There are so many possible sentiment combinations in this set, I could keep going for days!

Thanks for stopping by today. And a great BIG thank you for all of your participation and enthusiasm this week! I just love you guys!
