Christmas Best Bird – Stampin’ Up! Card

Posted on August 25, 2017 | 1 comment

Christmas Best Bird

Hello there and happy Friday, Friday, Friday!!!

Today’s card is all about depth.  Layering objects gives you that effect and really brings that bird from the Best Birds Stamp Set into the foreground where it is front and center.

I created a dreamy background sky for this project using the Salted Technique.  Caution!  this technique is very addictive and super easy!

Also, don’t forget a pop of red (Cherry Cobbler) in your card making, it screams Christmas don’t you think.

Salted Wheat – Tutorial #345

Posted on July 7, 2010 | 22 comments

dsc04418.JPG

Let’s try a little Salted Background effect today.  I created this project for my Stampin’ Up! Team Technique Swap.  I don’t know why, but I was a bit scared to try this technique at first.   Now that I have and see the wonderful results you can get, I love it.

I do have to warn you to have all of the supplies needed for this card at arms length because you have to work pretty fast.

Also, no two will look the same.  I made 7, and tried to make them alike, but they are all quite different.  This one is my favorite.  It has a dark spot in the field and it makes me think someone is sneaking around out there.  Probably the children of the corn, I mean wheat, LOL.  I crack myself up!

Let’s get started. . . . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Autumn Days
Paper: Watercolor Paper, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Stampin’ Up! More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Bravo Burgundy, Basic Black and White Craft ink.
Accessories: Non Stick Craft sheet, Aqua Painter, Gold Brads, Sponge, Sea Salt and a heat gun

The brand new USA Idea book and Catalog is here.   For your copy, please send a check for $9.95 to Michelle Zindorf, P.O. Box 116, West Alexandria, OH 45381 or send it via paypal to [email protected] USA only.     Want a copy of the Summer Mini Catalog?  E-mail your mailing address to [email protected] and I will get one in the mail to you.  )  Are you getting inspiration from this blog?   One way you can help support it is to order your Stampin’ Up products through me.   Click HERE to place an order.  Click HERE to check out the Stampin’ Up! catalogs.  Want to become a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator , receive a 20% discount on product and earn instant income on orders?  Consider being part of my Stampin’ Up Team and start your own business.  Click HERE for more information.

You will need something to work on, non stick craft sheet, plastic tray etc.   Also, water color paper cut to 4″ square and a spray bottle full of water.

dsc04400.JPG

Reinkers in More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Bravo Burgundy and Elegant Eggplant.

dsc04401.JPG

Put some of each color reinker in the coordinating ink pad lid.

dsc04402.JPG

Spray your watercolor paper to get it wet.  Let it dry a bit so there are no puddles on the paper.

dsc04403.JPG

Start by putting More Mustard ink heavy on the top of the paper using an Aqua Painter and dipping it in the ink.

Continue with Pumpkin pie right below the More Mustard.  

Continue with Bravo Burgundy ink, right below the Pumpkin pie.

Contine with Elegant Eggplant ink, right below the Bravo Burgundy.

Make sure you are saturating the paper with ink.  Over lap the colors a bit.

dsc04404.JPG

While the paper is still wet, sprinkle Sea Salt on the paper.  The more you use the more texture you will get.

dsc04405.JPG

Dried the paper with a heat gun, flattening it as it dried.

Stamped the Wheat using Whisper White craft ink and then stamp some in Basic Black at the bottom of the paper.

Also sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock to blend in bottom of Wheat Stems.

dsc04408.JPG

This is a close up of the dried background.  See how the salt left little dots all over.

dsc04410.JPG

Finished the card with Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie Panels and Gold Brads.

Here it is finished measuring 5.25″ square.

I hope you enjoyed this unusual tutorial from me.  Give it a try!

May your day be filled with warm gentle breezes.

Until my next post.. . .  . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle
