One die, two cards

Hey everone..

Today I want to show you my blogpost for the wonderfun shop Scrapomania.no that I posted yesterday on the shops blog... So if you want the norwegian version just hop right over to this place.

As you see I made to different cards with the same die... and I had a blast... I just love this new die from Sizzix and I see so many ways I am going to use it... Just think for those small gifts a x-mas, the babyshower and on and on and on.... 

For the first one with the draws I have used different leftover papers that look almost the same in colortone... And I just did as you see on the picture below... I also used 3d dots to make them come a bit out of the card... 

For my other one I have used som inks, paints and more... and that is just so much fun... if you want to try just use colores that kind of match, but I also like to use at least one warm and one cold in tone.. to make the background more popping... And just see how I did it..

I have used som glazing medium to make the silks some translusent.. and after painting over all I let it dry a little bit, misted with stamp cleaner, dryed a little bit more (5 sec) and used a babywhipe to take off some of the paint.. and then making it look a bit old... fun fun ... this is not something I have learned, but just found out with the fun of trying.... so remember use everything you got in every way you think it may work or not work... you may get a big surprise... :D  

At the end I inked with more distress and stamp som text on for more life in the background.. 

And below you see my two cards all done.... fun right...  

Hope you found some inspiration ... and I also hope you are having a wonderful summer...
