Sul blog della mia cara amica Kitty ho ammirato parecchie cards fatte con
la tecnica della carta strappata, usata per creare interessanti backgrounds e mi ha ispirato tantissimo. Io ho
molti fogli di carta da fotocopie, colorata con varie tecniche, o usata
per proteggere il tavolo durante le colorazioni con i Distress, o
ancora carta su cui pulisco il rullo durante le sessioni di Gelli
plate... E il fatto di strapparla per creare gli sfondi delle mie card
mi intriga tantissimo! 😄
Per questa card natalizia ho usato un foglio che molto tempo addietro avevo pitturato "just for fun" con la schiuma da barba e gli spray acrilici. Ho strappato una parte del foglio in verticale, ho sfumato alcune zone rimaste bianche con il DI Thumbed Glass e ho incollato le strisce su un cartoncino, lasciando un po' di spazio tra una e l'altra. Poi ho aggiunto degli schizzi con acrilico bianco diluito e un pennello. Mi piace molto il risultato, mi ricorda un cielo nuvoloso carico di neve!! 😊
Gli alberi stilizzati sono tagliati con un vecchio set di fustelle triangolari Sizzix da avanzi di carta bianca ed embossati con una EF coordinata, sempre brand Sizzix. Li ho dimensionati con il foam biadesivo.
Ho aggiunto due minuscoli pezzettini di carta marrone per i tronchi e un avanzo di carta bianca per la coltre di neve. La stella e i fiocchi di neve sono tagliati da piccoli snippets di carta olografica argento. Il sentiment "pace" (cosa necessaria oggi più che mai, se ne parla tanto, ma purtroppo non si fa!... 😔) è tagliato anch'esso da avanzi di carta bianca, usando una fustella brand Fuzzy Lemon, e poi sovrapposti, per dare un po' di dimensione.

Ciao Alice,
RispondiEliminaChe sfondo dall'aspetto favoloso, la schiuma da barba sembra adorabile nei toni del blu, non uso quella tecnica da molto tempo. E gli alberi con le stelle d'argento in cima agli alberi in rilievo dall'aspetto moderno e perfetti.
Una creazione veramente bella.
Passa un buon fine settimana.

What a fabulous background Alice, it's a brilliant technique and your trees are gorgeous, I love your wonderful card, Kate x
RispondiEliminaHello, Alice! Your snowy winter card is beautiful! And I am so happy I could be an inspiration to you with the torn paper strips. Now maybe you will inspire me to tear my paper again as it's been a while since I did it LOL. I do love the look of torn paper! Your shaving foam background is gorgeous - a perfect snowy sky! I love the white splatter as well! Your stylized trees are so fun and I like the embossed pattern on them! Your holographic star and snowflakes look amazing! I have some holographic paper but keep forgetting to use it. I agree about peace - very much needed in the world today! We will have peace one day; I know it from reading God's Word! Sending many hugs, lots of love, prayers, and of course peaceful wishes to you, my friend! I always find inspiration here, thank you!!!
RispondiEliminaIt's me again, dear friend! I just saw that you were a Top 3 pick at Colour Crazy for your tall snowman card! Well deserved, Alice, and congratulations!

So beautiful and what a fabulous image/die too, very exquisite ♥
RispondiEliminaAlice with the candles, you stamp and colour onto tissue paper then after placing it around your candle use some vellum or cooking paper to hold in place while you adhere with a heat gun. xx
Those torn papers make for one gorgeous card! I love the blue colors with the white trees and snowflake accents! What a wonderful way to use your bits and bobs to make a wonderful card. I too pray for more peace in the world - we could all use it! Sending warmest hugs your way for a great week ahead!
