Die Cuts...Bauble and Snowflake

Hi everyone!

Today I made these cards at the Friday morning Hobby Craft group using  die cuts, they are going on display in Hobby Craft to advertise the Die Cuts themselves....The photos are not very sharp as I took with my cell phone so they are not showing the wonderful detail of the die cut!








I inked-up the die cut then laying it on white card run it through the Embossing Machine, most of the ink goes onto the card (this can be also used to make a background for a card) but I love the distressed effect of the ink that's left on the die cut!!

Perfect Pearls

Hi everyone!

Today I am showing a technique using Perfect Pearls,
the traditional way is to ink-up your stamp with Versamark or Perfect Medium brush over with the powder....the way I did this one was to use as paint....put a little of the powder in a dish or lid of powder container (remember to clean lid when finished) mix to a paste, not too watery, then using paint brush colour your stamp image!  


Supplies used:

Perfect Pearls, Plum, Gold and Pearl
Momento Black Ink
Bauble Stamp by Hobby Craft
Clarity Stamps smooth paper
