I was having a play with the Heart Cascade 3D Embossing Folder from Tonic for a Magazine Commission and I really loved the technique of rubbing a candle over the embossed card to act as a resist so I just had to recreate it for a sped up video :D And I finished the card with some stunning Spellbinders sentiment dies! :D

This month's Tonic Craft Kit is all about Coffee and Tea :D The die set creates a stunning Mug or Cup and Saucer that can be adapted to have a lid or to be left open, with a bunch of different decorations and a gorgeous exclusive Paper Pad too! I've been inspired by the colours from the Papers and have used them as a guide for creating a couple of cards using the fabulous Latte Art stamp from the kit :D Christine xxx

I'm using this stencil again hehe :D But showing another stencil technique that can be applied to any stencil you have in your stash :D You might have to do a few before you can judge the right amount of water to add without getting a blobby image, but anything can be disguised or cut into to remove or hide pieces you don't like :D Have fun trying this technique!

Another collection of cards playing with the Layered Monstera Leaf Stencil from Simon Says Stamp, but remember, I might keep using this stencil (because I love Monstera leaves) but you can do these techniques with ANY stencil from your stash :D And showing a few ways of using your stencils with Ink Sprays! I'm playing with the Pink Ink Matt Chalk Airless Misters, but again ANY ink sprays will work :D xxx

I could not wait to have a play with Simon's Space Adventure Collection from Spellbinders, I'm sure you'll be seeing it again as I want to play with the starry embossing folder and stencil too :D And have a play with more colour combinations as well! I have lots of pieces cut ready so I can have a good play hehe :DAnd I really enjoyed playing with puff vinyl to create my background (a different variation on this technique will be in Sunday's video too :D)
A massive thank you to Spellbinders for the dies I used in this video and a massive thank you to LOKLiK and HTVRONT for sending me the wonderful Auto2 Heat Press to have an experiment with! Look out for Saturdays video for more into on this NEW machine!

A Thank You card for my Dad, he just re-did the French Drain in my back garden, hence the berets on the worms hehe and he was using an orange handled Pick Axe, so I had to draw that in :D As always I adore Francoise's designs, there's always something for every occasion, no matter how obscure :D
