Accidental Goodness / Divino Accidente


Hello everyone!

So I was trying to make a distressed matte multicolor background with some pearlescent stamped flourishes...  Didn't count with the distress ink being still wet and boom! The whole background had embossing powder and once I heated it, it became a fun, shiny paper I HAD to use... So I just let it flow. I continue to deboss it and voilá...

 The colors in the picture appear more bright and intense than they really are. "In the flesh" they are way more pastel. I really like the result. Hope you like it. It's quite a simple card, but considering it was the divine result of an embossing accident, I'm happy with it.

 Have a great week!
 
 
Hola a todos!

 Pues estaba tratando de crear un fondo matte multicolor con algunos sellos florales aperlados... No contaba con que la tinta todavía estaba húmeda y boom! Todo el fondo se llenó de polvo para relieve y una vez que lo calenté, se convirtió en un papel divertido y brillante que TENÍA que usar... Entonces solo lo dejé fluir. Continué dándole un relieve negativo en seco y voilá...

Los colores en la foto se ven más brillantes e intensos de lo que son en verdad. "En vivo" son mucho más pasteles. Realmente me gusta el resultado. Es una tarjeta sencilla, pero considerando que fue el divino resultado de un accidente, estoy contenta con ella. Espero que les guste...

Que tengan una semana grandiosa!

Video Tutorial: Quick New Year's Card with Simple Stories & Deco Foil

I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am. That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic... But, what if we used colorful Holiday colors instead? Why not? Well, this time you'll see me use papers from Simple Stories Very Merry Collection. Video Tutorial This is short and sweet video tutorial where I show you how I put together this card. Really with card designing the hard part is figuring out what you want your card to look like in the end but once you have figured out what elements you'll be adding and where you will be placing them the card comes together pretty fast. So the behind the scenes may not ha
