I´m joining the Up&Scrap challenge
again, for the month of November they decided use one of Jennifer McGuire´s
techniques, the challenge it’s called: Face to face. I couldn´t resist playing along
because I love Jennifer´s work, I´ve been following her for over 8 years, she is amazing.
The idea was to use Jennifer´s cards as
inspiration and it had to be related to Christmas. For my project I decided to make cards
because Jennifer´s technique produces more than one card, and during this time
of the year I try to make as many Christmas cards as possible, so I have enough to
give away and to sell a few.
La idea era usar las tarjetas de Jennifer como inspiración y tenía que estar relacionado con la Navidad. Para mi proyecto decidí hacer tarjetas porque con la técnica de Jennifer se hacen más de una, y durante esta época del año intento hacer tantas tarjetas de Navidad como sea posible, así que tendré suficiente para regalar y vender algunas.
Digging through my Christmas papers I found
a cute double sided patterned paper, and decided to use both sides as they
matched perfectly.
Revisando mis papeles de Navidad encontré un lindo papel doble cara, y decidí usar ambos lados ya que combinan perfectamente.
I cut some strips of the paper and I used
them as the two pieces that form the main panel, and since I don´t have a
stamp-positioning tool I fixed the two pieces together with some masking tape.
I stamped a big “you” with versamark ink and then added different colors of
embossing powder to each part, to give it the same effect that Jennifer shows
on her cards.
I did a test with the colors of embossing
powders I have, to choose the ones that showed better on the patterned paper. I
used my versamaker to draw some think lines.
Hice una pequeña prueba de colores de los polvoss de embossing que tengo, para poder escoger los que se vieran mejor sobre los diseños del papel. utilicé el versamarker para hacer unas líneas gruesas.
Then I used some tape on the back to keep the pieces together, and I found a stamp to compliment my sentiment, I had to do some masking with post-its so I would ink part of the stamp.
Le puse un poco de cinta adhesiva por la parte de atrás para unir las piezas, y encontré otro sello que completara el mensaje de la tarjeta, tuve que hacer una pequeña máscara con post-its para solo ponerle tinta a parte del sello.
Then I lightly marked where I wanted to place the panels on my card bases, to give me an idea for the placement of some snow flakes for the background, I heat embossed them with the same colors of embossing powders used on the main word "you"
Hice una marcas con lápiz donde quería colocar los paneles en las bases de las tarjetas, para darme una idea de dónde colocar los copos de nieve del fondo, los cuales hice con embossing de calor usando los mismos colores de la palabra principal "you"
Then I added some red craft foam under each panel, I wanted to give some dimension.
Le puse un goma eva roja a cada panel, para darle un poco de volumen.
I love how the red shows on the sides of the cards.
Me encanta como se ve el rojo por los lados de las tarjetas.
I added some silver sequins as embellishments.
Le agregué algunas lentejuelas plateadas para decorarlas un poco más.
Have a great day!
¡Que tengas un día genial!
