    White heat embossing combined with Daniel Smith

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you a fun card where I use white heat embossing as my base and then I add colour to the project to enhance the stamped image. Step 1: To get my card started I first used an anti-static powder tool on my die cut rectangle panel (Clairefontaine Multi-Techniques á Grain (the blue one) paper), then I stamped the flower image from an Impression Obsession stamp set with number J16149 onto this panel using VersaMark ink.

    Copic Refill ink background with stencilling

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you a technique that I showed you before but this time I’m using Copic Various Inks instead of the Ranger alcohol inks and I’m applying the inks in a different way.

    Anna Mason’s Online School

    Hi everyone, today's post is a bit different then usual since it’s more of a review then a how to create a certain project post. I have been wanting to learn how to use watercolour paints for a really long time, but I also knew that I would have trouble painting in a very loose way (which is usually associated with watercolours). So, I was looking for a teacher that could teach me how to paint in a detailed way with watercolours! And then I came across Anna Mason’s art work:

    Daniel Smith in combination with Impression Obsession

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you a step by step colouring tutorial where I use Daniel Smith watercolours paints, for both the image and the background. Daniel Smith is a really good quality watercolour paint and a little bit will go a long way! Step 1: I started my project by adding some anti-static powder to a piece of Clairefontaine Paint On á Grain (with the blue characters) Multi-Techniques paper, this will prevent that the clear embossing powder will adhere ev
