Christmas Bauble Trees Card | Couture Creations



Hi everyone Kerrie back again as Guest Designer for Couture Creations for this card I have gone back to where I started with stamping and watercolouring 





Couture Creations Deck the Halls Collection has these cute stamp sets which you can colour using Alcohol Ink Markers, Ink Pads or Watercolours for my card I have used the Christmas Tree Scene set and I have watercoloured 




I started by inking up my Jet Black Stayz In Place Alcohol Ink Pad


I then stamped up my images using Cotton Watercolour Paper



I then coloured my images, I went for a messy watercolour look 
Once dry I cut our all my images and arranged them on my card base and adhered them all using foam tape to give dimension to my card


I added some sparkle with Crystal Glitter Glue

Merry Christmas | Couture Creations


Hi Everyone Kerrie back again with another Christmas Card I have created as  Guest Designer for Couture Creations
For this card i went with non traditional Christmas Colours and created a Watermelon Pink and Gold background using Couture Creations Alcohol Inks and a little stamping.
This card is once you can again create in multiples as it is quick an simple 



I started my alcohol ink background by dropping on some Alcohol Ink Blending Solution onto Yupo Paper, then dropping on Watermelon Alcohol Ink, move it around using the ink blower 




next i added the Golden Age Gold Alcohol ink and again moved it around using the blower
add some more Blending Solution to help move the gold 


I then added a touch more gold with the Pearl Gold Alcohol Ink 


leave to dry 



When my background was completely dry I stamped on some Christmas Stars using Artic White Stayz in Place Ink Pad and the Christmas Star from the Christmas Tree Scene Stamp Set



Stamping creates  subtle layers to your background 


I then added  Holly Sprig and merry Christmas Sentiment die cut from Mirror Board, I broke the Holly Sprig up and tucked into the flower petals
I finished off with some gold twine, paper flower, pearl balls and some splatters of the Artic White Alcohol Ink 







Happy Creating

Christmas Trees Card | Couture Creations

Hi Everyone Kerrie back again Guest Designing for Couture Creations
this time I have created a layered Christmas Tree card using the new Christmas Tree Scene Stamp from the Deck the Halls Collection.
This is a versatile stamp set and you can just stamp and colour using markers or you could create a super cute shaker card using the tree but i have gone with creating my trees using Couture Creations Alcohol Inks, these are just too fun to create with and every time you use them you get a different background  

 I started out by stamping out three tree images using the Jet Black Stayz in Place Alcohol Ink Pad onto Yupo Paper


I then cut all the images out, I actually stamped and cut one extra just incase I wanted to add another layer



I then selected my Alcohol Ink colours, testing them on a scrap of Yupo Paper


I started layering my Alcohol Inks by applying the Khaki Glitter Alcohol Ink first, I then added the Champagne Metallic followed lastly by Jade Metallic, then blowing the colours around using the blower tool 


you can see the shimmer from the metallics and the sparkle from the glitter 



Once dry I them restamped the tree images using the Jet Black Stayz in Place Inkpad you could restamp using gold if you prefer but I wanted the stark contrast


I diecut Merry Christmas sentiment from Gold Mirror Board



I then layered my tree onto my base card which I had created using Mirror Board and White Glitter Card 



I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and remember if you recreate this card don't forget to share on your socials and tag #couturecreationsaus and me #kerriegurney

Holly Sprig Christmas Card | Couture Creations


Hi Everyone Kerrie here Guest Designing for Couture Creations 

I have created a clean and simple Christmas card using the 
Merry Christmas and Holly Sprig Dies from the Deck The Halls Collection along with some Alcohol Inks, Yupo Paper and Mirror Board




I created a background using Adhesive Yupo Paper and a 
mix of Jade Metallic, Khaki Glitter and Citrus Alcohol Inks 
along with Blending Solution to get the inks flowing and the Blower to move the inks around


you can see the glitter and metallic showing through, I love the shimmer these inks create 


once my background was dry I die cut 4 sets of Holly Sprigs, using Quick Release Die Paper so that the die cut doesn't stick in the die especially as I used adhesive Yupo Paper
I also used the Metal Shim to give my cutting sandwich more pressure so as to cut through the adhesive layer.



I then cut Merry Christmas Sentiment from Gold Mirror Board 


again using Quick Release Die Paper 



so that the sentiment  pops straight out of the die


I also cut 4 x Holly Sprigs in Vellum to add a soft layer to the holly sprigs


I adhered the Vellum Holly Springs with the Glue Pen just adding glue to the stem and centre of the holly as I wanted them to not lay flat so there was dimension to my card


I layered my base card using a layer of Gold Mirror Board and then a layer of  White Cardstock which I mounted on Foam Tape to give dimension


I then finished off my card with some Gemstones
