Happy Birthday - Black Ice Technique

Hi Everyone

Third week in August already, and the Scottish schools are all back!  Hand another play with Colourific Kaleidoscope Stamps this week.  You can find this and many more stamps here

Materials Used:

A6 Kaleidoscope Doily Stamp

6 x 6 White Card Blank

5.75 x 5.75 Black Mat

5 x 5 Glitter Card

4.5 x 4.5 Black Mat

4.25 x 4.25 Gold Mirri Mat

Sentiment Stamp

Couple of Circle Dies

Stazon Ink Pad

Versamark Ink Pad

Clear Embossing Powder

Gold Embossing Powder

•    Matt larger Black, Gold Giltter Mat onto white card blank.  Using foam pads add            small black mat onto card.
•   Using stays on ink, hold it lightly and drag it down along the length of the gold mirri      mat.  Add a little extra black Stazon at the top and bottom edges of mirri card.              Stamp the Kaleidoscope Doily onto the centre of the mirri card.  Ensure all ink of          mirri card is dry before moving onto next step.
•   Using the Versamark ink pad drag it from top to bottom of mirri card. Ensuring you        do not overlap.  Do not push down on ink pad, let the weight of the ink pad do the        work.
•   Sprinkle clear embossing powder all over the heat with heatgun.  This produces the      iced look.
•   Mat the finished piece onto the raised black mat. 
•   Stamp the smaller circle with your greeting and emboss (I also embossed the                outside edge of the circle).  Using foam pads add this to the larger circle and glue        onto centre of doily.

Thank you for popping by to look.

Kaleidoscope It's Your Special Day

Good Morning Everyone

Alice here with my latest post.   Can't believe we are heading into August!  I set myself a challenge this week with the A6 Doily Kaleidoscope clear stamp set.  What should I do with it, as these stamps scare me a litte?  Well, I had great fun playing with this stamp set from Colourific.  I have several samples to show you over the next few weeks.   You will find this and all of the stamps used on the Colourific Website here.

Materials:

A6 Doily Kaleidoscope Clear Stamp Set
A6 Flowers Marquis Petal and Circular Clear Stamp set

6x6 White Card Blank

6.75 x 6.75 Black Mat

6.5 x 6.5 White Stamping Card

Copic Markers

CC Sparkle Pen

Gems

Foam Pads

• Stamped the Kaleidoscope with Memento Ink onto centre of 6.5 x 6.5 stamping card, then stamped around it with various stamps from the Marquis Petal and Circular stamps.
• Used Copics to colour everything everything in,  Then went over parts of it with the Sparkle Pen.
• Stamped out one of the Circle Stamps, fussy cut it out and mounted it onto centre of Kaleidoscope with a foam pad.
• Used a Greeting Stamp from my stash and made the banner for the bottom of the card.  This has been mounted with foam pads onto a scrap of black card to give the card some dimension.
• Finished off with some gems from my stash.

Hope you like it and thank you for looking.  Will be back again next week.
