a series of cards

Hi Hermine here. I deciced to make a series of cards using Bistre. Bistre is a powedry substance with lots of pigment and deluted with water it releases its colour. The colours are a bit grungy looking and I really love that.

Here is the whole series in one view.

 

step 1: Put some Bistre in a spray bottle and add some water. Then spray a little bit on a craftsheet with several colours (I used three).

step 2: heatset it untill fully dry

step 3: Stamp paint brushes in jar 9235 and your color my world 19344 with Stazon Black ink

step 4: use the deluted Bistre as a water colour and give some colour to the brushes. Make some white Highlights with s white sharpie pen.

step 1: Spray the bottom half of your card with water. Then sprinkle some Bistre in it. Heatset until fully drr.
step 2: stamp men in balloon basket 19002, Time Flies and blowing Dandelion and extra seeds19045 with Stazon Black ink

 step 1: Do the same as with the balloon.
step 2: Stamp the Xmas Slihouette collage 19317, Bring on the twinkle 19313 and the Arrow with stars 19303 with Stazon Black ink
step 3: make some high lights in the tree with a white Sharpie pen.

step 1: Spray some deluted Bistre on a craftsheet and put your card in and turn it 90 degrees. Heatset to completely dry then take a stencil and spray on the right bottom hlaf.
step 2: stamp set of three Ornaments 19309, longen the threads with a black fineliner and stamp the alphabet of the December daily plate 1430 and December 25 19301


And yes the last 2 are Christmas cards hahaha, because there is no such thing as start to early, at least for me it is. Every year I promisse myself to start in the first half of the year and then discover in november that I didn't do so, it will defenitely takes out the stress of the holiday season. Hopefully it will inspire you. Have fun playing and stamping around.


Warmly Hermine
