Hello everyone!
Today's post is another packed one LOL! I've got a review video that includes showing how I made the first card, plus another 2 cards to share with y'all. First off let's get to the video:
As always you can watch directly on YouTube HERE <----click!
You can find all the Elizabeth Crafts Peel Off Stickers here in The Paper Trail store. FYI they're now shipping to Canada AND the US! If you can't order from there and are interested in these stickers check your favorite online store/local store and see if they have them/can get them in.
This was the first card I made and show how in the video - REALLY easy! And FYI CCD and SSS have the Peerless watercolors back in stock - I've linked to them below.
The stickers were completely fine with the watercoloring - tho I will note that I didn't saturate the paper at all - basically just applied the color. I would assume that if you were to work really wet the stickers would start to lift off.
Now for the second card I made:
I explained my "oops" with this one in the video LOL! Still happy with how it turned out tho. This time I used my Copics to color in the images. I did take care not to go over the sticker with the dark greys I used as they would have left color on the gold stickers. The lighter colors were just fine. Obviously if you were using the black stickers there'd be no problem.
It's really hard to show in a picture but I was able to get the shimmer in the video from the Wink of Stella - SO pretty.
FInally I've got a thrid bonus card:
I used my new Basic Grey Highline 6x6 pack (which The Paper Trail had in stock when I created this card but it looks like they've sold out of it!) which inspired the coloring on the flowers. I used my Peerless watercolors again and just had fun with them.
And then the inside:
I said it in the video but I'll say it again here - I really like these stickers! They made all three of these cards a LOT quicker to create as there was no stamping/powdering/embossing involved - just put a sticker on it, color it in and done. For the price I highly recommend getting yourself a pack (or two or three) to play with and experiment with.
They give a really cool look that you just can't get with embossing powder - you can kind of see it in my close up pics how it's a nice gold and the an outline of a shinier gold all around the openings - very cool.
The only negative would be that these are all one-time use - unlike stamps that you can use over and over again for forever. But again for the price I'm fine with that - they're cheaper than some of the embellishment packs I've purchased! *wink*
