How to make a festive card rapidly without using a single stamps? Make a splendid card in no time with three no sweat techniques.
Hello Everyone!
Today a new challenge starts at Create a Smile and we are challenging you to make a greeting card saying Hello.
There are three basic techniques that are simple enough for any card making experience level, namely, ink blending, stencilling, and multi-layered heat embossing.
If you blend inks through a stencil, creating a perfect ombre effect becomes a child play.
To make this card you will need:
Are you feeling inspired to make a No-Stamp card combining these simple techniques for a beautiful result?
HERE you can link up your creations to the current Create A Smile Challenge.
If you blend inks through a stencil, creating a perfect ombre effect becomes a child play.
To make this card you will need:
- a doily stencil. For my card I used Create A Smile Blossom Stencil (SSS | CRT)
- several shades of inks to make an ombre effect. You can see all the inks I mixed in order of blending in the Supplies Used List below.
- a special effect paste to add dimension and interest. Over the ink blended doily I applied Tonic Studios Glimmer Paste. The shade I worked with has an amazing capability to adjust its glimmer colour to the colour underneath.
- a simple bold word die. I picked Cool Cuts Hello Twice by Create A Smile to fit our current challenge.
- and one or two embossing powders to decorate the die cut word. To achieve super glossy look I heat embossed the die cut twice with a black powder and also melted in Seasonings Enamel (SSS | AMZUS) for a luxury appearance. HERE I blogged in details about this technique.
