          So heres a process video so you can follow along if you want to recreate this layout:






When looking at papers like this I like to see if halving the pattern will help it be less complicated.....
I know fussy cutting doesnt seem to be less complicated but it can help you add a smaller portion of details to a simpler background.

Remember a great pair of scissors and a scapula are you best friends




Adding simple embellishments like there's Uniquely Creative Stars help add some interest without over whelming the page.



A great washi tape can add an informal board to the bottom of the page and adding a little chipboard title can act as a journal strip.

So its all about getting messy with Tim Holtz Oxides the joys with these particular inks is they are formulated not to mix into a mud colour as they can be layered, have you tried inking this way before?





Need something to warm up the cooler tones in the background? Add a warm, luxe metallic gold over the top of the inks.....



Dont be afraid to add different textures with stencils and stamps.... layer different styles to enhance the effect of a mixed media background.

Mintay - Nightfall - Cards - DT Robyn Leeanne


 Hello Chit Chatters.....

Robyn Leeanne here with you for my next project for the month of June. 

I do hope you were able to be crafty with us at our cyber crop during June. 

Anyways this month I have a some cards for you for a change that I did with the new Mintay Nightfall collection, which as you know by now is just stunning.


I started with selecting my blank cards and I thought I would use the new Mintay Fancy Cards.

Its always nice to try something new.


Today I have 3 cards for you.

Card 1

I started by using a diecut I had made for the base of the card.
I also inked some cabochons for decorations later.


The back edge of the card is an offcut of the original diecut. 
I used this to accentuate the edge of the card
The I thought about using the Mintay lasercuts heart but never did on card one as it was to much fussiness.


In the end I decided on a simple diecut oval (Uniquely creative Die) and a diecut "Happy Birthday"
"Happy Birthday" was colored Gold same as the added cabochons.
In the end it was quite simple but I have to admit I struggled a little with it.




Card 2 

Again I have used Mintay Fancy Card blank, I glue a piece of the nightfall collection paper on the decorative side and knife cut the pattern into the nightfall paper.
The Rose in the center came from my stash, I have been waiting a long time to find the right place for that.


Then along with a line of bling through the center of the front and the other half being very plain I thought it would make a nice "thoughtful" type of card. Which is why I added the colored sentiment "Thinking of you" 


Nice and elegantly simple don't you think.



Card 3

Well by the time I got to card 3 I had decided to use up the scrap pieces from the first 2 cards.
So strips of Mintays nightfall and of cardstock were left from the die cutting.
The strips of cardstock were put down with foam mount tape. and again the edge trimmed to the pattern that is already on the Mintay fancy card blanks.



Then I added the Mintay lasercut heart and sentiment,
 both colored with oxides, to complete the card.


 I hope my cards inspires you to have a play with these very pretty papers and great lasercuts from the Mintay Nightfall collection.
