Texture by Layers

Hello, friends! I have an exciting post up over on the Bazzill Basics Paper blog showcasing a great way to incorporate lots of different textures into your project while keeping a clean and simple design! Head on over there to check out the full tutorial!

Have a Happy!

P.S. I apologize for the light content around here as of late. We are moving house and things are a bit crazy and my studio is 100% out of commission at the moment. I will be back up and running in a couple of weeks! Thank you for your patience.

Inspired by Debby Hughes

Don't forget to enter my current GIVEAWAY! Go to THIS POST for more information!

Wow! Day 1 of the Holiday Card Workshop over at Online Card Classes was AWESOME! I was super inspired by the designs, and made this fun card, inspired heavily by Debby Hughes, last night. The sketch/layout is all hers, as are many of the components. I switched up some of the colors and a created a 'dip dyed' look on my snowflake rather than on the tag like she did, but I am LOVING the look! I need to do that more often!

I used the snowflake dies from Avery Elle, with which I am IN LOVE, along with a great tag die from WPlus9. Debby used a cute stamped snowflake as the center of the die cut snowflake, but I chose to use a heart flair button from Bossy Joscie, instead.

For the sentiment, I wanted Happy Christmas, rather than Merry Christmas. Mostly because Happy Christmas just makes me happy. For reals, though. SO, I pulled out the Spellbinders® Holiday Sentiments dies (you have the 'merry' option, if you prefer that) and created the white on white look. I LOVE those dies so much!

How About a Little Stencil Action?

I have been playing with stencils a lot lately. I have to be honest, I was reluctant when they first started coming back into play, but after receiving a few of them, I was HOOKED! I had NO idea I would love them so much, but they allow you to add pattern and design to your projects in so many different ways using a huge variety of media, and THAT, my friends, makes the a wonderful, versatile tool that happens to also be rather inexpensive in the long run! LOVE!

For this card, I used the mini fish scales stencil from The Crafter's Workshop along with the AMAZING gold color wash from Heidi Swapp! her color washes are seriously the best. I don't know why, I have no explanation for you, I just know I struggle with others and I LOVE the Heidi Swapp ones TONS! To get the look, I secured my stencil over the panel and then sprayed at an angle from the bottom right toward the top left. I love the ombre look it created!

I stamped the sentiment from the Scripty Sayings set by Paper Smooches in Charcoal ink over the gold. I then added a shiny gold flair from Bossy Joscie that I accented with a die cut heart covered with glossy accents.

This card was a LOT of fun to create and I really love the way it turned out in the end. So pretty! Have you pulled out stencils and given them a shot yet? If not, you TOTALLY should, dude! They are fabulous!

Have a Happy!
