Hi everyone I have a brightly coloured tag with some crackle paste and stamping for you today.

I sprayed the tag with distress oxide inks and heat dried before adding each colour. When it was dry I splattered it with water and a little bleach.

I stamped the hollyhocks and the leaves then coloured them with zig pens. I stamped the script around the edge and stenciled the numbers using a crackle past. I attached the tag to a tag shaped card base.

Hi everyone, my card today is a lot of spray inks and a little bleach.

I sprayed the inks on hot press watercolour card and dried it with a heat gun. I put some bleach mixed with water on a piece of kitchen roll and dabbed it over the card to lift the colour. I then splattered water onto the card. The water even though it lifts colour it's a little more subtle. 

When I was happy with the colour lifting I stamped the bird and used bleach to remove the colour behind. Once the bleach removed the colour I used a little water water to remove as much of the bleach as possible then dried the image. I watercoloured the bird in the same tones as the background and stamped the little flowers and the sentiment around the bird.

Hi everyone, I have a quick Valentine card for you today.

I sprayed some watercolour card with a mix of red and pink distress inks. I let it dry and splattered some water over to remove patches of the colour. I stamped it with the From the Hearts stamp and used verssamark and gold embossing powder. I added a little script to the background and mounted it on a piece of gold mirror card. I stamped the base card with Love and Music in gold ink before attaching the watercolour panel and used a gold pen marker to mark around the edge to create a faux mat effect.

Hi everyone, I have a watercolour background for you today. 

I sprinkled salt on the watercolour when it when it was wet to create the separation in the colours and crystal shaped edges. When it was dry I splattered some bleache to create the white dots. Once I was happy with my background I stamped the trees in Versafine Clair using two different greens and then stamped the bird. I used bleach to remove a little more colour from the bird and watercoloured it. Bleach removes some of the colour from the ink so I re-stamped the bird to define the outlines. Bleach will remove most of the colour from the background allowing me to use white and light grey for the Chickadee.

Hi everyone, I've been playing with some light texture paste and embossing powders.

I sprayed some distress inks onto watercolour paper, when it was dry I splashed water and bleach over it to remove some of the colour. I then used some light texture paste on the bird stencil. While the texture paste was still wet I sprinkled different colours of embossing powder over it.  After I heated the embossing powder I used Posca acrylic markers to add colour to the branch, and the eyes, the beaks and the tails of the bird. I stamped the background with the leaf stamps and coloured the leaves using Posca acrylic pens and some script around the edge. Where the colour was very dark I used a little bleach to remove some of it before painting with the posca pens. 

You can see the different embossing powders a little more clearly on this peicture

Hi everyone, I'm here with another mixed media card.

I used gesso over some printed tissue paper paste glued to card base and sprayed it with distress oxide sprays. I stamped the background and added some texture paste. The butterflies were stamped on the background and then again on watercolour card and fussy cut them out. You can't see it in the photo but the texture paste is painted with shimmery watercolour paint.

Hi everyone I have a mixed media card for you today.

I tore off some pieces of text paper and stuck them to the base card usingsome matt media. When it was dry I painted over the whole are with some watered down gesso so that the print on the paper would still show through. I stamped the background with a mix of stamps and then sprayed distress oxide sprays in blues and browns. I used white texture paste through the stencil randomly over the background. The texture paste pick up the colour from the base layer so it's not so it blends in with the background. I also rubbed pewter gilding wax over the stenciling. When my background was finished i stamped the bird on water colour paper coloured it with watercolour crayons and fussy cut the image. I went round the edge with a black pen to mask any of my bad fussy cutting.

Hi everyone, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas with some Warm Winter Wishes with my card today.

I used my 4" gell plate to make the background, masked off the edges and stamped the deer.  the moon was made using a circle cut out of acetate and the centre blended with a darker blue. I stamped and coloured the trees and fence and I splattered some white paint over the whole image for a little snow.

Hi everyone, I had a little fun using a real leaf to add some interest to this pretty tree image. Because the leaf is so cool I kept the stamping simple. I stamped the trees on the card in Versafine Clair Nocturn, and framed it with a white die cut thin frame. I then heat embossed my leaf with gold, brown and blue embossing powders.

The leaf is one I collected on my walk, I was looking for an interesting shape with holes and partly torn.

Use glue (any craft glue) to seal the leaf on both sides, I hung it up to dry.

When it was dry I painted one side with more glue and sprinkled embossing powders randomly over it using gold browns and blues heating between colours and adding more glue for each layer of embossing powder, You can paint the glue on small areas and then add the embossing powder.

It's been a while since I've pulled out my texture pastes and gesso so I thought it would be fun to make a grungy mixed media Christmas card for you today.

I used a large tag and adhered rice paper to it using some matt medium as a glue. I painted over the image on the rice paper with some gesso and wiped the excess off to give a dull muted effect. I stamped a Christmas script in blue randomly over the tag then stenciled the stars using light modeling paste. When the paste was dry I stenciled the Christmas Ornament again in the light modeling paste. Light modeling paste when it dries can be coloured with watercolour paints. I used Finetec metallic paints for the ornament and the stars. I stamped the holly sprig and coloured it using Posca acrylic pens and added some glossy accent to the red berries. Before attaching the tag to the card base I used the Christmas script along the edge.

I hope you like my grungy Christmas card 😀
