Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I thought it would be fun to make a Steampunk card for my sweetie this year. The new Celestial Copper and Bronze Burst Delicata inks are perfect for making the gears stand out and shine on this card, the perfect addition to adding a bit of a masculine touch to a Valentine's greeting.
For a few weeks now I’ve had fun playing with Walnut Inks. The idea of combining the stamp and the Walnut Ink was born and had to be realized immediately. Create this night sky art project!
Dragonflies have the most beautiful wings - I love the metallic shimmer when the sunlight touches them...the beauty of nature is incredible and just captured my imagination - as you will see with this tutorial.
This project is based on transforming a simple, basic wall clock into a mini work of art.
I love the rustic look achieved roughly smoothing out the metallic creative medium! Once dry you find some jagged edges and variations in color that add interest to the card.
It is always exciting to play with new product – even more so when it is a new Delicata ink – I love the shimmer of these – the richness of Celestial Copper is divine – a picture speaks a thousand words – so I will let the tutorial speak for itself.
I love a fantastic background paired with a great sentiment. Sometimes that's all you really need to create a great card - not a lot of layers or patterned paper. You can make your inks work for you in so many different ways, so why not show them off?
When asked to make a card that involves the Super Bowl, I was so excited because even though I am not a football fan, I at least knew that Seattle had a chance and they wear my favorite colors...Lime & Navy. I had an idea of where I was going with this card, but after it was finished I am thinking....why didn't I make it into a shaker card?!? So today you get two cards.
Cathy Andronicou shows how to create this work of art with IMAGINE Crafts inks and markers with RubberMoon stamps and blank clock kit.
