This week it's all about card making.
From September's card class I tried stamping using a mask, which just means you stamp an image on a sticky note first, then stamp your image on the card base, put the stamped mask on top & then stamp other images close to, the mask prevents over stamping. I like but it is a fiddly method. The mask was made for the purple flowers.
Using pearlized paint on a stamped image to highlight areas. I liked this method. The pearlized paint colour is called champagne.
In just under 2 years I've gone from being very scared about stamping a single simple image to trying multiply techniques for one card. I may not be learning something new everyday in September, but I am trying something new in September.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift.
This sounds like a very clever technique and one that I'm not sure I would be very good at! Your cards are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. I'm learning new skills in card making from the experts either in person or on line.
DeleteAll three cards are lovely, and I'm impressed with all the new techniques. I have 2-3 to try that have been on my list for months! Your card with the pearlized paint is particularly gorgeous--and better IRL I would guess. I've unpacked, I'm catching up with blogs, have sorted through all my clothes, and this afternoon hope to get back to the crafting table. I keep reminding myself that we've only been home 3 1/2 days! But I do have some cards that must be finished TODAY and some others that need to be in the mail shortly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. Coming from you as a master card maker that means a lot. The pearlized paint gave dramatic results from little effort. On my next attempt I ensured my painting was in 1 direction & quicker which I think has given me better results.
DeleteI really like the middle one.
ReplyDeleteIn the end I think it's my favourite too.
