Beautiful Watercolor Poppy Cards Using VersaColor Reinkers

Posted on by

By Nancy May

Hey y’all. I so enjoy to watercolor and I love that you don’t have to have fancy watercolors to create something special.  Today we’ll use VersaColor reinkers in the colors Cardinal and Canary to paint the poppies in a gorgeous reb rubber cling background stamp from My Favorite Things. I’ll also use a VersaColor inkpad in the color Turquoise for the background and to mix with Canary to create greens for the project.

How To Create A Gilded Celtic Background With All Purpose And Delicata Inks

Posted on by

By Katy Ingram –

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am excited to share this really cool background technique.

In today’s video tutorial, I am sharing how I use some All Purpose Inks, Delicata Inks and a 3D embossing folder to create a Gilded/Aged Celtic background. I have to admit I am in love with these backgrounds and in the video I show two ways to create it and both give different results depending on how you apply the ink. I also give some alternatives to the products I am using in the video, so be sure and watch to find out what they are. This technique will work with any embossing folder and I will for sure be using it with other folders I have in my stash.

Floral Birthday Card Using Fireworks!

Posted on by

By LV Handcrafted –

Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). Today I’m playing with Fireworks! I start off by using what would normally be used to create a shaped 3D flower and I cut it out of a scrap piece of cardstock to use as a stencil.  I lined that over black cardstock and sprayed the Grape Jelly Fireworks! Then I rotated the flower stencil to offset the petals. I sprayed the Lulu Lavendar Fireworks! And without shifting the stencil, I sprayed a bit of the Lilac Posies.  What’s fabulous about these Fireworks! sprays is they are opaque and as you can see are gorgeous even on black cardstock. They have a beautiful shimmer and shine!

Skill: Intermediate

Time: 25 minutes

Supplies Used

Imagine:

• Fireworks! Juicy Purples

• On Point Glue

Other Products Used:

• Spellbinders Glimmer Sentiment

• Spellbinders Gerber Daisy Die

• Nuvo Drops – Silver

• Astrobright 80lb Black Cardstock

• Hammermill 100lb white card stock (card base)

Make Your Mboss’ing up a Notch with Double Embossing!

Posted on by

By LV Handcrafted

Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). Why buy colored cardstock or specialty card when you can make your own! 

Skill: Intermediate

Time: 20 minutes

To make solid color cardstock, 

Step 1.

Swipe a panel of white card stock with VersaMark watermark ink. It might be hard to tell if you have good coverage, if you tilt your card panel, you should be able to see a shiny surface where you have inked. 

Step 2.

Before the ink dries, pour any colored Mboss powder.  Knock off any excess into the original zip-sealed bag. 

Step 3.

Then using a heat gun, melt the embossing powder on your panel. And there you have it! Your very own shiny solid color cardstock.  

Repeat Steps 1-3 If you missed some spots or if you want some areas to be a little darker. Be careful not to overheat your card.

To take your new cardstock to the next level…

Step 1.

Swipe your embossed panel with VersaMark watermark ink again.

Step 2.

Before the ink dries, pour either Mboss Sparkle Powder or Mboss Iridescent Powder over your panel. Knock off any excess into the original zip-sealed bag. 

Step 3.

Then using a heat gun, melt the embossing powder on your panel.  Be careful not to overheat your card. Now you’ve taken a plain Mboss powder and given it some extra shine!
