VideoTutorial:Card and envelope with new Stencil 'Fun-Halloween'

And this week I introduce you a new mini trio of stencils 'Fun-Halloween'. I had so much fun using these stencils and my mind is buzzing with ideas and more different card layouts.

Tutorial: Altered Book Cover with Visible Image

Happy Weekend everyone. I have a big news: I am happy to announce I am part of the Visible Image Design Team, their stamps and stencils are so inspiring! And today I use a couple of them to embellish a book cover (I altered dozens of them until now, I confess)

I inked for the first time the set Learn To Fly Again, so meaningful

And I had some fun making a couple of pendant out of acetate and wire

The focal point  with the sentiment:

Tutorial:
I stamped on cardstock the sentiment and cut it out. Then I sponged through Strobes stencil with yellow Distress Oxide.

I glued the cardstock to a piece of wire and filled with Glossy Accents.

In the meantime I glued a book page to the book cover and then I sponged it  with Distress Oxide through Distorted Chess and TimeTunnel stencils.

I stamped more details from the Learn To Fly Again set. I glued the focal point and I attached the handmade embellishments to the spine.

With this I participate on the latest challenge on  Simon says stamp blog: Something Clear

VideoTutorial How to use stencils with Oxides, Pastes and acrylic paint

And speaking about stencils, a new video today how to use them at their best with Distress Oxides, acrylic paint and embossing paste.

The best tool to get a crisp detail stencilled image is a brush stencil:

When using embossing paste put a blob of paste on top of your stencil and drag it, if possible, in one movement:

For Distress Oxides and Inks, for me the best tool is Cut'n Dry foam:

In the video I used  'Steampunk Bauble'

"Steampunk Doilie"

"Regina"
