The CRaFTi EsSeNTiAl Collection - with Tonic :D


I absolutely love using Tonic products, especially their Nuvo line, so I just had to do a video using lots of Tonic products and one of my new Background Stamps :D :D :D I love how crisp Nuvo Embossing Powders look, and I especially love this purple haze colour :D :D Another favourite of mine are the Will's Hand dies, I'm sure you've seen them pop up lots in both my videos and on the cards I make for magazines too, they're such a great go to set of sentiment dies, and I love that you have the bubble die, which you can cut from vellum to mute the background slightly and make the word stand out :D :D :D Hope you liked the card :D :D :D

The CRaFTi EsSeNTiAl Collection - Alcohol Inks & the Gelli Plate :D


I recently treated myself to some Copic refills to play around with, and I just had to try using them on the Gelli plate because it looks so cool :D I've seen Barbara over at Joggles do this cool technique and I had to give it ago, and the results are amazing!!! I will certainly be doing this again!! :D :D I also treated myself to the Layered Laurel Altenew stamp set over Christmas (and have only just had a chance to use it lol) and the Aladine Izink Dye ink pads work wonderfully to create a green/blue version of the foliage :D :D :D
