Welcome to the Joy Clair 5th Anniversary and New Release Blog Hop! We are so thankful you are here to join us celebrating this special birthday.
This blog hop, is not only Joy Clair design teams but also there are amazing guest designers sharing their projects showcasing Joy Clair clear stamps. You should arrive from Cornelia’s blog.
On my first project I use the new Everyday Collection: Crystal Background Stamp and You’re A Gem stamp set to create these CAS cards.
For extra blings to the gems and crystal, I used glitter cardstock for the background and I use glitter embossing powder to heat embossed the images.
I use resist-watercolor technique to create that crystal frame after that, I fussy cut them with scissors.
I stamped the sentiments in the middle of the crystal frames with VersaFine Clair ink pad.
These cards are super easy to make yet glittery and shiny.
For the second project, I created an art journal on my Traveler’s Notebook using the new Color By Faith collection: Shadow of The Almighty.
I started with creating the beach scene with white gesso and Gelatos.
I did not use any special technique. It is simply cover the pages with white gesso using flat brush and dry it.
After that, I scribble the Gelatos on the page and blended them with my finger. I used baby wipes to remove some of the blue color and the patterned left on the page turned into clouds.
I sprayed the page with Workable Fixative spray so the Gelatos won’t smeared or change.
After the background was done, I started to stamp the images on the page using VersaFine Clair ink pads. I dried it with craft heater. Colored the chair and umbrella with Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks.
I stamped the word “Psalms” with Lindsey Script Alpha stamp set and wrote the verse number with Tombow PITT Artist Pen.
