Hello - it's Michelle here today to share this card that I made a little while ago by mixing Agapantha purple and Cornflower Blue paper glazes to create a new colour. I love using a gradient of colour over a stencil - I usually do this with ink and Life Changing Blender Brushes, but you can do it with Paper Glazes and a palette knife, too!  They mix beautifully, and spread over the stencil just like cake frosting - so satisfying! I called my new colour Royal Blue. I used the Mermaid Scales stencil and a sentiment from Fancy Sentiments...

Hello, crafty friends! Michelle here today, and seeing as it is my parents' wedding anniversary tomorrow, I couldn't resist but share this card with you today. I used the Fancy Flourish Stencil on a piece of black cardstock, along with Paper Glazes in Snowdrop White and Golden Rose. I stamped and gold embossed the sentiment from Fancy Sentiments onto a strip of black cardstock, then mounted this entire panel onto a mat of gold mirror cardstock, before adding it to a square white card base. I added some sequins as a finishing touch. Thanks for visiting :)

I then added scribbles of red, orange, emerald green and olive green watercolour markers (I used Zig markers) and then sprayed the panel with water. I dried the panel with a heat tool before adding more colour and repeating the process. When I came to the background, I added the deep blue and the aqua colour, but I used a...

Hello! Michelle Lupton here today to share an alcohol ink card using dies and a stamp from the February release from Picket Fence Studios.   I started with a panel of Yupo and added some alcohol inks in blues and greens. I then took some black cardstock and die cut the "Hello" word die three times and layered them up. I cut the shadow from vellum, adhered the word to the shadow and then covered it with Glossy Accents to give a glassy shine. I decided I needed a bit more, so I stamped the sentiment from Favorite Notification and...
