On the Beach

Hi There!

So, here we are at the end of 

another busy week.  I won't

tell you how many weeks we

have left to that big celebration

during the last month of the

year but there are less than we

think ..................!

Back to today and here is

Angela Radford with another

terrific background ..........er no,

(well yes of course but not what

I wanted to highlight!) today

she is going to show us a very

clever trick with a stencil......

.....sit tight, here we go......!

"Hi everyone. I have had so much fun 
making this card and I'm here today 
to show you how I did it.

 Started this by making the background
 paper using Distress Oxides. Just smooth the 
colours onto your craft sheet, spray with water
 and swipe the card through it. 

Dry between colours.

 Next I cut a piece of the background 
paper to fit my card blank.

Using the Tim Holtz Splash stencil and a
 Versamark embossing pen I added
 the wave effect by applying the ink 
just in the areas that I wanted to show
 and embossing with white powder.

Now for the images. 

More Oxide background papers:

Stamp the chosen images.

Cut everything out ready for the next stage.

Next I layered Bazzill card onto the card blank

Cut up sections of the images and layer

 them together then attached them to the 

prepared background card.

This close-up shows the additional

 embossing added to the front

 of the boat to give the effect

 of the waves. 

I also added the sentiment here.

And so to the finished card.

 I added a little shading to the seagull, 

clouds and the boat using an Alcohol pen

 in grey and a little Stickles glitter glue to 

the windows. 

Hope you enjoyed watching me 

make this card. 

Happy crafting, Angela xXx"
