"Polished Stone" card

Hello and welcome to my blog.  

Isn't it funny how things go in and out of fashion?  A few years ago techniques using glossy card were everywhere.  I'm so happy that glossy card is back in the SU catalogue, because it means I can revisit all those techniques.  

I had hours of fun back in the day with the polished stone technique - dabbing alcohol inks onto glossy card.  And then it sort of went out of style - we all moved on to something else.  A shame, because it's one of those techniques that give a great result so easily.

Here's the tutorial -

This card also features another great product from the back of the SU catalogue - the multipurpose adhesive sheets.  You'll be seeing me using them quite a bit, I promise!

This is another one of the tutorials that I filmed over the weekend when the South Wales Air Show was happening, so I voice-over'd the commentary - otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to hear what I was saying over the noise of the aircraft flying by outside.  I hope it's OK!

So that's it for today.  Thanks for visiting!

See you soon,

Crafty Hugs,

Keren

Glossy Card Sunrise

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I've been playing with glossy card again.  There are so many techniques that you can use with it and I have so many ideas for projects - and you can be sure that I'll be sharing them with you!

Today I've been blending colours onto my card.  Glossy card makes it so easy to get a lovely smooth blend.

Here's what I did -

By the way, the inspiration for this card came from the credits of Tenko, a BBC TV series that I used to enjoy.  The series was about women interned during the second World War - not the most cheerful subject -  but the programmes began with an image of a beautiful sunrise and that's something that stuck with me.

Thank you for stopping by and I do hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Crafty Hugs,

Keren
