Hi there! Today on color combos with Crystal we are going NEON color schemes.
The technique? We are water coloring with Distress Oxides on a heat embossed image. Stay tuned to see up close photos and a full video tutorial at the end.
The stamp sets used are from Unity are Hearts All Over Background Stamp and Sentiment "Blossom Thoughts & Wishes "
The water coloring medium is Distress Oxide picked raspberry, twisted citron, wild honey, and spiced marmalade.
Start by heat embossing in white the HEARTS ALL OVER BACKGROUND STAMP, with white embossing powder.
Then to watercolor, we are going to place the actual pad onto the waterproof surface. Grab the color with a water brush and place on the white embossed image.
For the sentiment, BLOSSOM THOUGHTS & WISHES" on the lime green cardstock with white heat embossing.
Hi, there friends! Today I have a very fun and unique way to create your own background using very BASIC supplies and some amazing background stamps from Unity. This DIY cardmaking technique is a brilliant way to extend the use of any background stamp.
Enough telling you about it, let me show how to make this.
The color inspiration is very basic, simple rainbow hues minus the purple. For the stamp, I am using Unity Stamp Co. Baby Boy Plaid.
To begin, I have my card panel precut from Neenah 110lb cardstock. Next using 5 colors of distress oxydes and a round brush I blended circular ink circles. I got about 3 to fit on each row.
I repeated this process all the way down until I covered the entire card base. Then, I splattered water on the entire thing so it reacts with the Distress Oxydes. Allow time to dry before moving on to the next step.
Now we will heat emboss the BABY BOY PLAID stamp set with white embossing powder, heat set with your heat gun. While that cools off, on a piece of Black cardstock stamp and heat emboss the "YOU can do it " from the THANKFUL & GRATEFUL FALL.
Then hand cut the sentiment around the edges. Once that is done, with foam adhesive place the sentiment over the plaid background. Finish up with some clear embellishments or sequins.
I have a full tutorial video showing you the entire process on this awesome DIY background.
Hi, there friends! Welcome to my Color Combos with Crystal as we will be creating a gorgeous Clean and Simple card on Kraft using Chalk Ink.
The color combinations for this was from an array of purples inspired by this gorgeous Color Palette photo found on Pinterest.
Super pretty right?! Once I found my color combo, I thought it would be best to stamp with Chalk Ink, as it creates such a clean and bold impression on darker card stock. I am using the Clearsnap Colorbox Chalk Inks. For the stamp set, I am using one of my favorites, OBSESSIVELY GRATEFULwhich is absolutely versatile to any occasion.
To begin this card panel, I have my kraft cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.50. Beginning at the top with the hot pink and coming down the line with the other ink colors, slightly overlapping the letters.
I do want to give you a quick tip that Chalk Ink does take a bit longer to dry, so that is why I started at the top since there can be smudges if starting from the bottom, then going up.
The card was embellished with Nuvo Drops in TONIC NUVO TRANSLUCENT PERIWINKLE.
My ideas was not to embellish so much that it took away from the simple stamping.
Of course, I have a made a FULL tutorial video with real-time stamping so you can see how easy and effortless this clean and simple card truly is.

Hi there! Today we have a clean and simple Mother's Day card with a DIY Background using some ink and Glitter Nuvo drops.
The color combination for this is simple yellow tones and white. Nothing says Spring like a soft tone.
The stamp is an oldie but a goodie. Look Up To You Birdies.
I began by stamping, coloring and hand cutting the birds from Look Up to You Birdies, added foam adhesive and set aside.
Then with purple tape, I masked several stripes and blended the non-masked parts with yellow Distress Oxyde. Once that was dried up, I used my Nuvo Drops in Crystal Glitter and rubbed some of the stuff over the same yellow. With a spatula I spread the entire thing, then removed the purple tape.
Allowing time to dry, I set that aside and stamped the sentiment with clear ink and covered with white embossing ink. Once that was nice and cool I cut a strip.
To finish the card off, I added the birdies and the sentiment. The whole card took only about 5 minutes. Check out my real time video below showing you how to make this step-by-step.
