Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi Lovelies, This is the second of the boxed cards that have been taught by Linda recently. This box featured the Couture Creations Sea Breeze papers and the "Seagulls over the Ocean" die. This is just truly amazing card.  The waves are embossed with Stampendeous Sparkle Puff embossing powder. The seagulls are all hand painted using Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  There are even some on the back of the card. I was really lucky that the one that we displayed in store is for me :-)

Hi Lovelies, Our wonderfully talented team member Linda has recently been playing with boxed cards. She designed two amazing box cards using the Couture Creations Sea Breeze collection. The first of these cards features sea horses, shells and a magnificent array of colourful coral.  The seahorses are all embossed using the Couture Creations Pastel Blue  with Holographic Silver Glitter embossing powder. The shells and coral are embossed with Stampendeous Golden Sands Embossing Powder She even made a matching gift card so that you  have somewhere to write your message for the lucky recipient.

Hi lovelies, On the weekend I had a chance to play with the new Couture Creations Anna Griffin Arabesque Stencils, and I love them. They are slightly thicker than most other stencils so I could apply a generous amount of my texture paste. I also love the fact that the stencil is coloured.  This meant that when I went to apply the paste to only certain areas of the stencil I did not have to mask them off.  You just have to love short cuts in crafting I used the Secret Garden Stencil with Dreamweaver Crackle Paste.  When the paste had set and cracked I used my watercolours to apply a wash of colour.  It was great that the wash flowed down into the cracks.  For those who know me, it was a shaky day, so the painting was not as steady as I wished. I did have a lot of fun and can't wait to use the other stencils.
