Emboss resist watercolour card + tutorial video!

January 29, 2015January 30, 2015 ~ Kamila Routsis ~ 22 Comments

Hello again!

Today I have for you this beautiful gradient card! I also have the video of how to make one just like it underneath!

I just love the colours and the swirls on this background stamp! I stamped it using Versa Mark and heat embossed with opaque white embossing powder.

I then used my distress inks and water to colour them over the embossed area.

I loved the background so much that I decided to just add a little something to not cover it up too much. I cut a stripe of vellum and stamped a sentiment “love” across it, using silver embossing powder.

I took a picture of the card around 3pm when the sun was setting you can see it on the top of the card, I think it adds beauty, I love that kind of sun!

Here is the video you can watch on you tube:

Tools and products used:

Versa Mark clear ink

Cute cuddly bear love you card

January 27, 2015January 27, 2015 ~ Kamila Routsis ~ 14 Comments

Hi there!

Today I have for you a card with a cute image by Fizzy Moon, a cute bear image.

Lately I tried to do some colouring, I can’t really afford a good set of Copic markers just yet, but I just decide to try with my husband’s coloured pencils by Derwent, he taught me how to do the shading and here is the result 🙂 I really enjoyed using them and I like how the image turned out! I decided to use multiple colours on the hearts, for a variety. I then run the image through my Big Shot and cut it in a shape of a circle then made a little embossed frame too. I used some pattern paper for the background and cut out another, bigger circle to add underneath the bear 🙂

For the sentiment I went with a small Love You from Hero Arts – Friends stamp set. I thought the image and the background was straight forward enough so there was no need for a big sentiment.

I then used some Wink of Stella and glossy accents on the hearts although it is hard to show on the picture…

I will enter his card in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp – Wednesday challenge – Have a heart

2. Time out challenge #23 – Valentine’s Day with the optional twist of hearts… and something extra!
