Tutu Tuesday revisited....
This is a blog post from 27th October 2017 that I am revisiting. I know, I've been a tad pre-occupied with pre-wedding events, helping out my Dad & sister and a few other things the Herbster and I have had going on. I thought why not revisit this technique because it's a favourite of mine and I do like slightly 'different' Christmas cards that maybe no one's thought of doing. I hope you like this...
Hello everyone!
This week I am using a technique that I've always loved and it's so easy. I'm making more Christmas cards & this is such an quick technique too. Basic supplies for this are acrylic blocks to suit the size you want to stamp, water in a spritzer, several coordinating ink pads & a nice tree stamp (edit: I used Lovely as a Tree stamp set but as it is now retired I've added a new card made this afternoon using the Winter Woods stamp set. Both sets are/were so versatile!
Here we go, first gather your supplies!
Ink up your acrylic block
Spritz your inked block
Stamp on to water colour paper, give a good press down.
Square edged block, a bit of journaling pen lines around the edges too
A rounded corner block for something different
Tadaah! Easy as, added some Wink of Stella to the darkest blue and a few sequins too!
PLEASE NOTE: The watermarks in the photos above are from my previous Stampin' Up! shop. My shop is now found at: https://wirgie101.stampinup.net/ Links for products used will take you to my current store too!
So there you have it, simple, easy & can be adapted to any occasion too!
Remember, to have something covering your work area so you don't
accidentally wet the wrong thing.
til next time,
happy stamping, colouring and creating!
Product List
I've stamped it in Versamark ink with a pretty floral/berry sprig from a new stamp set also available on 4th September, called Frosted Foliage. I then sprinkled white embossing powder over the stamped images, tapped off the excess then heat set it. Great effect! I then turned over the cut out die and coloured in on the back side of it using a Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Write marker.
Made sure it was completely dry before giving it a little curve with my bone folder. I cut the pointy top off the battery operated tealight and it the fitted inside the box without sticking out of the top of it. Cutting off the tip doesn't affect the tea light at all.
