Bubble Bonanza 

SHOP THE JANE GILL BIG BUBBLE COLLECTION

We are back to Christmas this week, using the new Jane Gill Big Bubble stamps and dies. These brilliant stamps allow you to so much versatility. There are so many different options of how to fill in those circles, you could do it with paper or get messy with any mixed media. 

To create the Bauble cards, the ladies first had to create the beautiful background using the Pixie Burst (Wild Moss & Rusty Red), adding just enough colour to  show through but not to much it distracts form the stamps. 

Then it was a case of stamping and heat embossing. For the double bauble card, they were stamped directly onto the Pixie card, heat embossed and then coloured, using, pixie powders and water, polish silk glitter. (If colouring directly onto the Pixie card, the pixie powder already on the card with be reactivated with water, so you will have to used similar colours). The other single bauble card was stamped onto white card coloured using the same media and then cut around. Then it was simply mat and layering. 

For the final card the stocking image, was stamped, heat embossed onto white card. To create the textured white top, the ladies used a embossing pent and white embossing powder. Additionally the leaves, were coloured using green ink. The circles where die cut using the coordinated die. Then shaped using a ball tool and finally layered onto the stamped image using foam tape, to give depth. This was then trimmed to shape and added to a patterned paper, which had be mat and layer to the card base. The they added a little sentiment to finish off.
