Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine

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 😀

Hi everyone, I have a Christmas card in non traditional colours for you today. The background is coated card smooshed in layers of distress oxide ink in pinks and purples each layer dried before the next one is added. I then stamped the Noel image and coloured it with a mix of Posca, gel and watercolour pens. I then stenciled the stars around the edge and stamped a sentiment in first and second generation stamping to give a distressed effect. The border was then edged with a gold pen and mounted on a white card base.

Hi everyone, I have a couple more cards with direct to stamp watercolour crayons and the poinsettia stamp.

The first card I just added some stenciled poinsettia around the stamped poinsettia and distressed the edge of the panel.

The second card has some stenciled poinsettia and a script sentiment around the stamped poinsettia.

Hi everyone I have a Pinecone and Bauble Christmas card for you today.

I used Ranger watercolour pencils and a direct to stamp technique to add colour to the Poinsettia stamp. I dipped the tip of the pencil in water and coloured the stamp with different blues while it was in the stamp platform. I sprited with water before I stamped the card. I mopped up excess water on the card using a kitchen towel. I stamped the pinecones and berries in Versafine Clair inks and coloured the pinecones with a little distress ink. I stamped the three baubles and connected them to the pinecone branch using a T-square ruler and a silver gel pen. I painted the baubles with Drops of shimmer - glitter paint (Kuretake). You cant see it in the picture but they have such a pretty shimmer. the sentiment was stamped and then the paper moved ever so slightly and stamped again. It's hard to see in the picture but it gives a really pretty shadow effect

Hi everyone, I have a glittery Christmas card for you today.

I stamped the image on acetate using stazon ink, when it was dry I used glue to fill in the back of each section of the acetate and sprinkled glitter on the glue. I let the glue dry before going onto the next colour, you don't have to do it that way but I'm a bit of a smuder so thought it would be safer 😀

I die cut a circle aperture for the ornament to fit inside. Before assembling the card I stamped the snowflakes, Christmas script and tiny sequins to add some interest. I glued the acetate to the card face and place a piece of card as a back.

Throw caution to the wind and have some fun with glitter but make sure you have a swiffer cloth handy for the clean up, it's well worth the effort.

Hi everyone, todays card is a quick Holly and Berry card for my Christmas stash.

I stamped the holly sprigs using Versafine Clair morning mist in a row along the edge of the card. I  coloured them with pencils and added a little glossy accent to the berries to give them a little dimension. edged the cream card with a strip of red and some designer paper. To add a little interest I distressed the edge of the Designer Paper.
