Winter Magic Reveal!

I know this was supposed to be all winter white, but the color add on was so great with the Romance addon, I had to use a lot of colors!

Most scrappers use the front of Websters Pages, but I love the backs too!

I dyed the Tim Holtz ribbon with Shimmerz Spritz Melon Madness.

The tea roses from Prima were in the October kit.

I cut the leaves with stamps from Heartfelt Creations, then I colored them with Distress Ink and Distress Stickles.

Scraps Of Darkness Reveal Day!

Scraps of Darkness REVEAL Day!

*clap clap clap*

So, this month, Mel has given us something different to play with, light whites and magical greens and purples with jewels!

Mandy has a great sketch this month.

I used the flower ribbon on a card stock base to make sure it stayed as a circle. I painted each flower with Glimmer Glaze in Northern Lights; part of the Color Add-On.

I inked the Parisian Anthology paper with Distress Ink, Crushed Olive and Forest Moss.

The pictures are some I found of my mom (top right), her sister and my grandma and grandpa. Both my aunt and grandpa died before I was born and this is the first picture I have ever seen of him. I had to scrap it!





I used a bit of Distress Crackle Paint in Rock candy over the Bo Bunny letters just to give a bit of textural interest, then I sprayed the letters with some Shimmerz Spritz in Princess (purple).

I also used the Shimmerz on the background, just a random spray here and there for fun.

Gotta LOVE Websters!

MORE to come! :D

Reveal Day!

Swirlydoos Dec Challenge Number ONE

I did this layout for the December SGC Winter White +1

I built it on an acrylic base and went from there! Fancy Pants Road Show papers and Basic Grey basics, Creative Imaginations snowflakes and Prima flowers.

I covered the snowflakes with Distress Crackle Paint in Rock Candy then coated them in Diamond Dust then used Glimmer Mist in Lily Pad on top of that.

I did a new technique on the Fragments. I used clear Embossing ink and stamped a snowflake on the pieces, then I used white embossing powder and heated the fragments. While heating, the fragments melted and look like ice cubes!

I also used clear embossing powder with the clear ink on the top right and I highlighted them with clear crystals.

Thanks for looking!

Alcohol Ink and Grungepaper

So, I wanted to type up a little post here using alcohol inks and Grungepaper!

This month's Scraps of Darkness kit includes 6 sheets of Grungepaper in the Grunge Add-on, I love Grungepaper and wanted to share this quick and easy technique!

You will need:

Grungepaper element

Alcohol inks

Blending solution

Applicator

Crackle accents


Squeeze a good amount (2 seconds) of ink onto the applicator. I also used a couple drops of silver mixative. I added a bit of blending solution and tapped the ink onto the element.

I coated the edges with Crackle Accents. That activated with the silver mixative and turned the crackle medium orange, which actually turned out pretty cool!

Alcohol ink dries very quickly, but with the Blending Solution, you can manipulate it and make the color just what you want!



Thanks for visiting my blog!!

Oh, and I cut the elements with the Oct. 31 Limited Edition Cricut Cart!

Happy Creating!
