Facebook Live Replay - Violet Dreams Argyle Technique

 This week, I am not only featuring the Framed Violets stamp set but also the Violet Dreams Designer Series Papers, they coordinate so nicely. I also wanted to share the September Technique, Argyle Technique. This is one of those techniques that I will definitely make again, and it is a great way to use those strips of DSP.

Here is a close up of the card:

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Framed Violets (#168200)

INK: Gorgeous Grape

PAPER: Highland Heather Base, Hydrangea Hue, Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia Layers, White I/S, Violet Dreams DSP

ACCESSORIES: Blooms Gems, Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Treasured Tags Punch

CUTTING & SCORING:

• Highland Heather Base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Scored at 4 1/4"

Stampin' Up! Show Off the Hot Foil Shimmer

Show Off the Hot Foil Shimmer

 

Wow Tip: Hot Foil + Watercolor

If frosty silvers and blues are your go-to for Christmas projects, this wintry card may just ski to the top of your “gotta CASE” list! Plus, with foil + watercolor, this technique is hard to resist. Step 1: Hot foil the image onto a 4 -1/8" x 4-1/8" (10.5 x 10.5 cm) piece of watercolor paper. Note: Stampin’ Hot Foil System results will vary when used with watercolor paper. Step 2: Cut out the Christmas Wishes sentiment using the coordinating die and set aside. Step 3: Using a Water Painter, dampen the snowflake panel with water. Add watercolor touches using Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy ink. Color the diamond shapes with Misty Moonlight ink. It’s true what they say . . . no two snowflakes are alike! Watercolor effects will vary every time you try this technique, making it a fun one to play with again and again.
