Rambling Birds Card | Artdeco Creations

#kerriegurney #artdecocreations #ultimatecrafts #couturecreationsaus

Hi Everyone Kerrie here  back with another project for Artdeco Creations Blog
April brings lots of special birthdays for my family and friends so I thought I would get a headstart on creating some cards.
For this special card I have used the gorgeous Ultimate Crafts Rambling Rose 6x6 paper pad along with the ephemera packs and wood veneer shapes.
This is actually a quick card to create but looks like it has taken hours



to start off i mixed some of Couture Creations Anna Griffin Pink Pigment Powder with warm water in a spray bottle to create some shimmer spray


I then sprayed some flowers and the wood veneers and dried with my heat tool


I then decided the pick was too soft on the wood veneers and so I embossed them with gold embossing powder, sprinkling in some glitter while the embossing powder was molten to add some sparkle


I then distressed and inked all the edges of all my paper and ephemera pieces and layered them onto my card base. I added a splatter of shimmer spray to the background giving a little shimmer.


next up I layered on my flowers and wood veneers, I layered the larger gold wood veneer bird over the top of the bird on the ephemera tag adding some dimension to it. I also added a bird ephemera piece and layered the smaller wood veneer bird onto it.


as you can see it is super quick but oh so beautiful to create a card using the 6x6 paper pad and ephemera and wood veneer packs.

Say Cheese | Artdeco Creations

#kerriegurney #artdecocreations #ultimatecrafts #couturecreationsaus

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a super quick layout I created for Artdeco Creations Blog using the newly released Ultimate Crafts Rambling Rose Collection
Rambling Rose is a gorgeous floral collection designed by Sue Smyth but Sue has very cleverly added some fabulous patterns on the B side of the papers that can be used for creating male layouts like the one I have created using photos from my favourite son's Contiki Tour of Europe.
(I only have one son so I always tell him he is my favourite son :))



I am not sure why but all my step by step photos were out of focus, so sorry no step by step photos but it is a simple layout with very simple techniques.
Also I added the black line as an after thought and I wish I hadn't I liked the layout much better without but hey I'm not pulling it apart and starting again :)


For my texture I used my Ultimate Crafts L'Aquarelle Rolling Mesh Stencil and Couture Creations Anna Griffin Embossing Paste. While still wet I sprinkled on some Couture Creations Mirror Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with my Couture Creations Heat Tool.
I didn't want full coverage so just sprinkle lightly, you can add more embossing powder if you like as you heat it, remember you can always add more you cannot take away.


 here is a closer look at the touch  texture coming out from under the patterned paper. I have added some fine jute string under the photos to add some more texture
I cut one of the Rambling Rose Wood Veneer Frames into two and added some brown ink and then sprayed them using Couture Creations Anna Griffin Gold Pigment Spray


For my title I again heat embossed using Couture Creations Mirror Gold Embossing Powder, this time sprinkling in some Couture Creations Copper Embossing Powder to give a variegated colour on the the title


I added some splats of Gold using Couture Creations Anna Griffin Gold Pigment which I previously  made into a spray. I have a spray for each colour of the pigments made up ready to use when I want them.

Once again I am sorry for the lack of step by step photos, I'm not sure why my camera decided not to work.

So Fun | Artdeco Creations

#kerriegurney  #artdecocreations #ultimatecrafts #couturecreations

Hi Everyone
Kerrie here with a layout I created for Artdeco Creations Blog using the newly released
Ultimate Crafts L'Aquarelle Collection.
I love this collection as it is fresh and fun with a touch of vintage and so perfect for this photo of my great niece and nephews



I used Couture Creations Anna Griffin Embossing Paste with the Rolling Mesh 6x6 Stencil to create my textured background, sprinkling on a little glitter and set aside to dry.
I then used some left over scraps of L'Aquarelle paper to create my layers, I have also used the barcode strip
Next I cut 2 x Floral Bunting and 1 x Watercolour Bloom dies from Ivory cardstock
I layered everything onto my base cardstock and then embellished using the Brass Frame, some Couture Flowers and Seam Binding Ribbon
Finishing off with some flicks of Pigment Spray and Crystal Glitzin' Glamour Glitter Glue to the flowers to add some sparkle
