Beginner Christmas Card with Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hi Lindy’s lovers!

Valerie here on the Lindy’s blog today and I’m back with a little tutorial to create a wonderful easy Christmas card with a watercolor background.

I’ve sprinkled some Magical and Shaker powder on a plastic protector and sprayed water on top of it.

 

 

I've placed my card on the ink to create a wonderful watercolor effect. I've crated 3 cards and each cards are different. It's very nice!

After that, I've decied to use embossing powders into the modeling paste.

I've use it with a stencil and I've dried it with my heat gun. The effect are very beautiful. Very smooth colors.

 

 

I've added some silver drops on my background to match with the colors of my card.

Now, I've placed my little paper silhouette fir to create a forest. And I've glued a flair on the top.

3 ways to use white embossing powder for beginners

Hi Lindy’s lovers!

Valerie here on the Lindy’s blog today and I’m back with a layered layout. I have used white embossing powder in 3 different ways and I have created a spectacular design. Very simple for beginners.

 

Step 1: As usual, I started with a thin coat of clear gesso over my patterned paper.

Step 2: I stamped with versamark here and there on my background. I used white embossing powder to create a pure white leaves on my paper. 

 

 

Step 3: I used 3 colors of spray to create a watercolor background to make the white foliage pop. (Technique 1)

TiffanyLou Blue, Tea Pot Purple and Banff Blue (squirt)

 

Step 4: Also, I stamped some flowers and leaves with versamark on watercolor paper. I embossed them in purely white. After that, I used the same colors of my background to color my flowers. 

 

You have a fabulous fuzzy cut. (Technique 2)

 

Step 5: I tried to use embossing powder on a paper flower. Don't heat too long in one place and it will work. (Technique 3)

 

Step 6: You just have to place all your elements and put cardboard under a few of the flowers to create a superposition effect.

Summer Tone Watercolor Layout for Beginners

Hi Lindy’s lovers!

Valerie here and I’m back today with a really easy summer tone scrapbook layout perfect for beginners. I created a step-by-step for you to demonstrate how to use different colors on a watercolor background.

I used 3 colors (South Shore Sand, C’est la vie Cerise, Kissin’ Kenickie Coral)

As usual, I started with a thin coat of clear gesso over my patterned paper. Now, I can use my sprays – spray on one color at time.

It’s very important to let each color dry or use the heat gun to dry the surface after each color.

I use a paper towel to sponge the excess liquid in between each color.

 

I created some splashes with a brush to create a water drop effect.

 

When your background is done, you can continue your layout with the addition of some textures. I used a piece of cheesecloth to add a beautifully fluffy texture.

After that, I mixed art stones and 3D matte gel and I applied the mixture on my layout.

The 3D gel will be clear once dry.

This is my finished layout.

Here are some close-ups of my finished page.
