MTCC #60

Hello

Today I am sharing the three cards I created for Challenge #60 at Make the Cards Challenge.

The challenge is to have a black background for your card.

I made three cards.

All of my cards have a white 5 1/4" square base made from white cardstock.

I cut three 5" square panels of black cardstock to use as my card front panel.

Each of my cards has had a layer of Deco Foil's Transfer Gel Duo applied through a stencil.

The mandala and flower stencil do not have any 

brand name on them but the other one is TCW - Mini Labyrinth.

Card No. 1

I applied a pearl powder over the design on this card using a soft brush.

The colour I used is #673 Interference Violet and as you can see it is quite bright.

Once the design was covered with the powder I wiped over the whole panel 

with a dry tissue and all of the excess powder came off

I attached my black panel to a piece of purple cardstock that is 5 1/4" square 

and attached that to my card front.

To embellish the card I cut a floral emblem from an all over piece of lace

and attached that using Art Glitter glue.

The sentiment is from a kit by Uniquely Creative.

Card No. 3

I have burnished Rose Gold gold leaf into the design on this card.

Add some of the loose gold leaf to your card front and then rub it into the design using your finger.

You need to be relatively firm in your application.

Once the design is covered brush the excess flakes off.

I have cut a piece of co-ordinating metallic paper to cover the front of the card base and then added my black panel to that.

A transparent sticker from Kaisercraft's Happy Birthday sticker pack, 

was added to a piece of the same paper I used for the background.

I cut a fishtail in each end of the title piece before attaching it to the card front 

with a piece of scrap chipboard behind it.

A fine piece of lace was added to the bottom of the black panel 

before the panel was attached to the card front. 

Card No. 3

To enhance the design on this panel I used Deco Foil -Summer Rainbow foil.

A piece of foil was laid over the design and then I rolled over it with my brayer.

You can use your fingers or a bone folder if you do not have a brayer

The sentiment is from Paper Rose's Big Sentiments 1.0 pack.

I have run that through my laminator with the same foil.

Mystical Scrapbooks June Cyber Crop.

Good morning

Today I am sharing the layout I created for the June Cyber Crop at Mystical Scrapbooks.

The theme for this month is sketches and my layout uses this sketch

This is a nice clean open layout and here is my take on it

I added foil to the background by putting Deco Foil Transfer Gel through Dusty Attic's Criss Cross stencil.

Once that was dry I rubbed gold Fab Foil over the top of the Gel.

I used Cocoa Vanilla Daydream papers for this layout.

The yellow/orange paper is Daydream - Sun Shower

I cut it to 5" x 12"

The grey spot is Daydream - Garden Variety

I cut it to 7 1/2" x 6 1/2"

The rainbow paper is Sunkissed - Summer Lights

I cut it to 2 1/2" x 8 1/2". I cut a fishtail into one of the narrow ends.

The tag was cut from Daydream - Stepping Stones.

I cut the tag using Uniquely Creative Tags, Tops & Tails die.

The title was cut from black cardstock using Sizes 662667 Alphabet die.

I attached the title with glue and coated it with Glossy Accents.

The photos were matted onto black cardstock.

Cardboard was attached to the back of the photo matt before it was attached to the page.

Final touch was to add a scribbly border to the page and the patterned papers.

Here is my video.

I hope you enjoy watching it.
