Gorjuss Card Set - Ankarika Craft

Hi there!

Time to present you with the last project for this year 2023, which is two twin cards made on request. One, of course, went straight to its new home and the other one is for sale and you can find it in my shop on Etsy - here.

The background is paper from the 'Breeze of Dreams' collection from Margaret Paper Design. The edges, of course, are sewn on the machine. The main attraction is the girl under the umbrella. it is rare for me to stamp and then colour the stamps. I always have the feeling that I'm not very good at it and somehow I avoid it. But it's also good to expand one's boundaries from time to time, right? So the Pro markers went into action and the girl's stamp is of course Gorjuss. 

The composition is fantastically enriched by the wonderful cardboard doily, which I cut in half and each half ended up on one card. It is painted with white acrylic paint, and I also added some Firebird wax and 3D dots from Novo in silver. 

The umbrella is a triple-cut scrapbook from the Tonic Studios die-cutting machine, and the baptism lettering is from the Craftelier shop. Next to the girl hangs decorative beaded tinsel, which I also decorated with silver dots. Finally, I added butterflies for the umbrella and that's it!

Skating to Work - Pascale B Scrap

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a mixed canvas.

To begin I added a design with Modeling paste and a stencil. When dry, I painted the canvas with a Cobalt Blue Impasto.

I primed all the chipboard and the metallic flowers with white gesso. Next, I mixed red, yellow, and gold paints to obtain a dark yellow that I used to paint the chipboard and the flowers. 

I dry-brushed the leftover of the orange paint I had made to highlight the design, then Firebird wax. 

When everything was glued to my liking, I dry-brushed some white paint over the embellishments. 

Next, I added a brown blue wax to the Wildflower #5 to remind the blue of the background. I added Gold and Firebird waxes on the other chipboard. 

To finish, I added some glitter.
