Ink up "Antique Border" using Palette "Stamp & Stick GluePad" and stamp onto white Glossy cardstock.

Heat using your embossing gun - until the Stamp and Stick gluepad is tacky.


Add some "Red Leaf" use you finger tips press the leaf down.... then use a soft brush and remove all the extra (keep the extra in a plastic bowl and reuse later, NO waste)



Using a Circle Punch (use it upside down) and punch out a circle - this is how I make the Christmas ornament. Just added a small piece of silver paper and wire.


these are Tim Holtz Grungeboard Letter - I ink them with Memories Metallic "Red" then spray them with Memories Mists "Bright Gold" - spelled our "oh tree" I have a sticker from Ek success that said "Christmas" used that in between the two words... "OH Christmas Tree"

Bleach Paper Technique

This is my Christmas Card this year.
Supplies:

Bleach (household bleach)

Paint brush

Water

Twinkling H20’s: Fuzzy Peach, Bashful Blue, Key Lime, Egyptian Gold, Cranberry, Icy Iris, and Golden Opal

Black embossing Powder: Fine black by Stewart Superior

Embossing Ink: The Embosser by Stewart Superior

MasquePen

Stamps: Candles by Stampotique

Embossing Gun (heat Gun)

Directions:

HINT: Test your black cardstock with the bleach. All cardstock bleach out just a little differently. Some turn a brown color some will bleach out almost white… I like the white look the best for the project.

1) Stamp “Candles” using embossing ink and black embossing powder onto Black cardstock and heat emboss.

2) If any of your images you want to remain black – add MasquePen to these parts of your image. I masked the dots on one of the candles and the diamond on another. Make sure you allow your MasquePen to dry (it turns clear)

3) Using a Paint brush and your bleach – bleach all of image you want to paint in later. Bleach will take a few minute to dry before doing the next step. If cardstock is not bleach out as much as you need try adding a second coat of bleach

4) Now the fun part. Color in your image using Twinkling H20’s. To use Twinkling H20’s just add water to your brush or paint jar and start color in the lines. The embossing ink help keep your color in the lines…

5) After you have colored in your image. Remove MasquePen to revile the black cardstock again. Matt onto Gold cardstock and add to card base. This technique works great on a scrapbook page too.

6) If you can find a mini image of the same stamp you used on your card. Stamp smaller image onto your envelop and color with Twinkling H20’s to complete your card.
