SFF One Layer Theme Hearts

 
I know you need at least one Valentine card so come play with US
 
I used handmade paper for the card it has bits of red tissues because I have difficulty getting my pulp to dye red and I haven't found a natural dye to do red.
The stamps are from an MFP set called KEYS
I added the die cut ribbon of hearts and held my breath that is acceptable . Hope you enjoy it

Workshop

 
Went to a wonderful watercolor workshop 
Did several projects shown here
 
First above using the paint pods simply washed two cards one in red
 one in green
From the red we die cut poppies  and hearts and
from the green the stem



Then we did the "running or drip'' background to adhere the flower on
The hearts (which I can't move up from the bottom) are on a separate card.


 Next we used distress inks on an acetate and smooched the card stock
we practiced first then did it on a card that had already the heart sticker

Now on to markers  The image is embossed
we were shown to place the color to the center a drag it with a water brush
This part I had no problem with
Then she made us splatter over the finished pieced
I should not have done that step

                                          One layer is easy "snow" not so much




                                             The TT shows what is expected
                                            So I used MFP BIG Trees stamp set

                                          I colored only a small portion of the sky
                                         I used my Misti ( fast becoming a friend)
                                            Put the tree in inked the left with green
                                                           Stamped  and cleaned
                                      Inked the right with black and stamped again
                                                                 It is perfect

Christmas Ornament

 
This technique was presented at a get together
Now if I don't tell you would you notice?
Would a non crafter receiving this notice
Now I will tell you the steps
First you do a diagonal strip on a piece of card stock large enough to go behind whatever die cut you want to use
So far so good You folder emboss the background and die cut the opening 
Notice yet?
Layer the opening over the diagonal
Pretty right?
Then decorate
I used a fabric holly that is absolutely gorgeous
I am sharing this card at
