Hello! Alison Heikkila here. I have a new mixed media card to share with you today for the White Rose Crafts Shop. I started off with a monoprint that I made on my 3" x 5" Gel Press during a FB Live, and was inspired to pull out the Steampunk Alchemist from AALL & Create once again.
The monoprint was made with a few colors of Golden Fluid Acrylics and the Heapza Hexagonz from AALL & Create. The green used on the stencil is what inspired me to give the alchemist his velvety green coat. I stamped him with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and then I colored him with Copics.
I tore the edges of my monoprint, but the white edges were too...white, so I applied some Antique Linen Distress Ink reinker to those edges with a brush, and it dulled it down perfectly. I used the reinker because I wanted those edges really saturated. I ink smooshed Ground Espresso Distress Oxide all over my card base for some interest. I popped up my chemist with foam tape and decided I needed another element. So I stamped out and colored one of the bottles from the Steampunk Alchemist set and tucked it underneath him. I had some old Tim Holtz Halloween stickers laying around, and that's where my sentiment came from.
I love how old all of the elements on this card look. It's a lot of fun to pull colors from monoprints to help you steer the direction of the rest of your projects. I'm finding that the Steampunk Alchemist stamp set is so versatile because it has a ton of stamps in it. It's just fun to experiment with them all (pun intended).

I layered stars, circles, and banners to make it all come together on top of a White Cardstock and Oxide Ink. I finished the layout with some sticker dots. It came together really quick.

Although the (Happy Birthday) die is no longer available check out these amazing Birthday dies that White Rose Crafts carry! Those would all look so awesome on a scrapbook page.
Welcome Back It's Esther taking over the White Rose Crafts blog again! To say that I patiently waited to get my hands on the Cosmos - Stamperia Collection is an understatement. When I saw the color palette and beautiful graphics I knew I had to have it. White Rose Crafts to the Rescue. They have the paper pad, rice paper, and chipboard. It's a must-have paper collection for me.
Today I'm sharing an Astronomy Layout. I recently fell in love with the Sky, it was a clear Arizona night when I first realized the true beauty of the night sky. My hubby suggested we get a telescope (which we did) and I am now addicted to going out at night and taking pics of the moon.
It's not the perfect picture but I thought I needed to document it. So here is what I came up with.
I started this layout by making a background for where the pictures were going to sit. This is a 12 x 12 baby blue sheet of cardstock with Oxide Distress Inks.
I then layered a frame with Cosmos Chipboard and circles made with a circle hole punch. A strip of paper from the 8 x 8 Cosmos Paper Pad and Voila this portion of the project is done.
I finished by placing my matted embellishments on top of the White Cardstock Background sheet. Layered a few more of the chipboard embellishments, used some Nuvo Dots, and called it done. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I love to help!
