Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video! In todays video I use some Cherry Blosom Walnut Ink to create a simple background for an Easter egg die cut I have in my stash. I kept the background simple and made an A1 size card, also known as an RSVP card size. I love that I can use the Walnut Inks like watercolors to create simple backgrounds. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.

Hello crafty friends! Today, I would like to share how to make this mixed media art journal using some inks, craft sprays, embossing powder, and GooseBumps.Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Intermediate Time: 30-60 minutes
Direction:
Step 1 I used my handmade traveler journal using watercolor papers and mixed media papers. You can use any mixed media journal you have.
Dab some of the VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink on the craft mat and spray with some water.
Smoosh the page (or paper) to the ink and dry it with a craft heat gun. Repeat this step to create the watercolor background.
Step 2 Once the watercolored background dried well, add some of the anti-static powder to the page.
Stamp the script stamp on the page randomly with VersaMark ink and then add some of the Gold Mboss Embossing Powder to the page. Heat set the embossing powder with a craft heat gun.
Step 3 Add the stencil to the page.
Add some of the GooseBumps Original (Dauber Top Bottle) to the page on the stencil randomly all over the page.
The best result is to let the GooseBumps texture spray dry naturally (about 2 hours) but I use a handheld fan to speed up the drying process to a few minutes. My suggestion is not to use a craft heat gun.
Step 4 Once the GooseBumps texture spray dry well, spray the Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.
Step 6 And then, spray the Pear Tart Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.
Step 7 Wipe the ink spray off using a clean slightly damp paper towel.
You can see the shapes start to pop out of the page adding fun texture to the background page.
Step 8 Stamp the dots texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Midnight Black ink using first generation stamping technique.
Step 9 Stamp the numbers texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Midnight Black ink using first and second generation stamping technique.
Step 10 Stamp the old ledger texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second and third generation stamping technique.
Step 11 Stamp the leaf branch stamp randomly on the page with VersaFine Clair Green Oasis.
Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.
Step 12 Next stamp the cactus stamps randomly on the page with VersaFine Clair Spruce ink.
Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.
Step 13 Stamp the first butterfly stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second generation stamping technique.
Step 14 Stamp the second butterfly (smaller size) stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second generation stamping technique.
Step 15 On a white cardstock, stamp the sentiments with VersaMark Ink and then add some of the Gold Mboss Embossing Powder. Heat them with a craft heat gun.
Step 16 Trim the embossed sentiments into sentiment stripes with papercutter or scissors.
Add some of the VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink around the edges with finger sponge dauber to give them some shadow.
Step 17 Add the sentiments to the page with On Point Glue.
Step 18 Draw some border lines around the page and sentiment strips using the Memento Marker Tuxedo Black.
Step 19 For more texture, add some of the Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray to the page by tapping the sprayer tube.
Dry the whole page one more time with a craft heat gun.
I tried to capture the shiny and shimmery on the page in this picture but it looks even more in real life.
I hope you enjoy today’s mixed media project. Thank you for visiting our blog, have a fabulous day.
Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video! In todays video I create an easy background with some VersaFine Clair Inks. In the video I see if I can replicate an ink smooshed background I made earlier using the same technique. I usually can’t! There always seems to be something a little different. Check out the video and see if I was able to do it. I also showcase the Copper Delicata ink coloring a die cut. I just love the results and I think you will too. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.

Step 1: Trim a piece of watercolor paper a little bit larger than an A2 sized cardbase (4.5” x 5.75”) and watercolor smoosh the panel with Gray Flannel Memento Ink mixed with water on acetate packaging. Allow the panel to dry. Then repeat the process with Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance Ink and then finally with Champagne Delicata Ink.
Step 2: Stamp stars on watercolor paper with Paradise VersaFine Clair ink. Repeat the process so make the blue of the ink darker. Then heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Then die cut with the corresponding die.
Step 3: Press Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink onto another piece of watercolor paper and then use this paper to die cut the sentiment. Die cut two pieces of scrap paper with the same sentiment die and glue the three layers together for dimension.
Use the corresponding shadow die to die cut a vellum shadow layer and glue behind the sentiment.
Step 4: Spray the background panel with Paris Dusk Fireworks! Craft Spray through a stencil. While the spray is still wet, remove the stencil and spray the panel with Summer Sky Fireworks! Craft Spray to move both colors of spray. Splatter some of the light blue areas of the panel with Paris Dusk Fireworks! Craft Spray. Allow panel to dry.
Step 5: Trim the background panel to about 4” by 5.25” and then distress the edges with a pair of scissors. Press the edges of the panel into the Gray Flannel Memento Ink pad and then heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Next, glue the sentiment onto the center-right and the Star was attached with foam tape.
Step 6: Stamp a sub-sentiment on a small piece of watercolor paper with more of the Blue Belle VersaFine Clair ink and then heat embossed it with more of the clear embossing powder. Then distress the edges with scissors and then press the edges into the Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink.
Step 7: Attach the sub sentiment onto the panel with more of the foam tape. Then glue the whole panel onto an A2-sized white cardbase to finish the card.
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card that showcases my style which is clean and simple. This is also a watercolor card which I love to watercolor, it’s so relaxing.
