Hi everyone!
February is the month of Love, so let's go for a Love theme at House of Cards!
We have a wonderful inspiration photo - (please see below).
I was inspired by the image and the colors!
Can you believe that these hearts are made with hot glue!
It is already the second time that I use this technique and I am every time fascinated by the result!
I started to put hearts on a piece of white paper with a hot-glue gun.
After that, I heated the hearts with my heat gun, added white embossing powder, heated it to the melting point and repeated the whole once more. As soon as the hearts were cold, I wet the paper with a brush and water and added pink watercolor - and as long as the paint was wet, I added a large drop of silver pigment ink (IZINK) and let it fuse with the pink!
After drying, I mounted the colored panel with foam pads to a bigger white panel and then to my card base!
The sentiment is stamped with Onyx Black (Versafine) and Melon Mambo (StampinUp).
The sentiment is stamped with Onyx Black (Versafine) and Melon Mambo (StampinUp).
It says something like:
I LOVE YOU
a bit, very much,
passionately....
Are you curious how I've discovered this technique?
Take a peek to my first attempt, here you will also find a link to a video that explains everything best!
Here a closer look to the silver effect - these shiny things are very hard to catch!
....and this is our
Love Theme and/or Colors
Have fun!

Isn't that the coolest, artsy-est technique? I've done it with normal kid's glue too - just have to wait a little longer til it sets up but you have better control of your squiggles ;)
RépondreSupprimerWhat a fabulous technique and beautiful water coloring too!
