Hi folks, here are a couple more Christmas samples for you using the
Tangled Baubles
Big Background stamp. For my first sample, I created a background using
alcohol inks. I dropped alcohol inks onto some water in an old ice cream tub, and then dipped my card into the tub, ensuring the background was completely covered with colour. Once I had dried the background with a heatgun, I stamped the image using archival ink. I stamped
part of the image again onto another spare piece of card, also coloured
with the alcohol inks, so that I could decoupage one of the baubles. I
added some co-ordinating card to mat and layer the image, and stamped a
sentiment from the
Gothic Angels stamp sheet.I simply added some ribbon to finish.
My
second card uses the Tangled Bauble stamp again as my focal
point, and this time, I simply stamped the image with black archival
ink. I then watercoloured the background using some red paint, adding
shading for depth around the baubles. I stamped a sentiment from the
Pears and Baubles
stamp sheet onto a piece of card, slightly larger than the sentiment
itself. I used a permanent pen to draw a design around the outside, and
after making sure that it was completely dry, I used the same
watercolour paint to colour the border. I used some co-ordinating card
to add some matting and layering again.
These simple cards are quite quick to make, and would be great for anyone who loves Zentangle.
