Stencil Technique with Texture Paste and Distress Ink + VIDEO

I love when different mediums reacts differently with other mediums. Today I want to share exactly how cool an effect you can get by combining Ranger Texture Paste and Distress Ink. 

 Distress Inks works really well with waterbased mediums.Here on my card I get this cool look where the stars takes up a bit of colour from the dark blue Distress Ink. 

I made this project as DT member for the Danish online store Hobbyboden. And also made a video of how to do this.

I have added some extra stars in vellum to give the card more interest and to pop-up the sentiment strip. 

 

 This first card is rather masculine in style, which is why I also made a more feminine version of this card. 

Who doesn't love some polkadots :)

Just see, the effect is the same here. The dots have taken up some of the colour from the Distress Ink.

 Have a marvelous day :)

Gift Tags ready for Christmas *Revisited*

Holy Moly, or what ever you say in English...Chrismas is less than 3 months away!

I though I'd share a couple of gift tags I made a while back as Guest Designer for the Danish Store Picturing The World. This is why I am calling it *Revisited* ;o)

And there is even a little VIDEO included to show how to make these gift tags as well as a couple of tips along the way when using Paste. 

The best thing about these tags are that they are made out of recycled cardstock. Do you know these paper pads with lined or squared paper. Here I have used the backing cardstock to make these tags.... isn't that awesome!

Add a little gold, paste and vellum and You've got a classy and stunning gift tag!

Do you make your own gift tags for the Christmas presents??

Playing with paste

For the past couple of months I have been doing a series of articles in The Paper Crafting with focus on stencils and how to get more out of your stencils. Well, some of us probably have a couple of stencils in our stash but might not use them too often. 

Here is a card I made for the the article about stencils & paste....

The Danish sentiment means "Hey Baby" in English. 

I have also made a video, showing the creation of this card. 
You can see it here below or on my YouTube channel.

Have a great Monday

....well, I hope you get the best of it even though it's the first work day of the week.
