Afternoon peeps.
Can you believe we are already halfway through NOVEMBER!! Christmas will be upon us before we know it. Well over at Color Hues, Nancy has chosen a colour duo that might help with those Christmas makes, here's what I made.
My wonderful bloggy friend Loll, one of our GDs, and her group of 7 cardmakers are using textured tissue paper and hilighted embossing for their technique this month, so I thought I would have a play.
I found some white, thickish tissue in my tissue drawer, yes I do have such a thing, you never know when you are going to need it!
On my craft mat I smooshed some Galactic Stream and Teal Cave inks from Altenew with a spritz of water and added my square of tissue. It proved to be quite strong so I could move it around to get good coverage. When dry I added it to some white card with PVA then when that panel was dry, I embossed it with an EF. The technique works best with a deep embossing folder but this was a freebie, Crafters Companion I believe, just a plain old EF.
It says to use a brayer but I used some Inca Gold silver wax which I added carefully with my finger tip to the raised areas.
The panel was then trimmed and added to an A6 top fold, white, note card and finished off with a couple of strips of silver glitter card from some crackers from a couple of Christmases ago and a Uniko sentiment stamped in more Galactic Stream.
So what will you make with these colours? If you need more inspiration, please check out the rest of the team here as well as our TWO GDs Loll and Joanne, then why not join us?
