Group 6: Add Texture and/or Color Challenge

Hello everyone! 
Thank you for stopping by House of Cards Challenge Blog today! Group 6 is sharing their creations with you today for our current challenge...

Add color and/or texture to your card!


You can add great texture, or use the color palette, or combine them both for a beautiful autumn card!
Our Group 6 team has some wonderful inspiration for you this week!

But, let's start you out with a little something to get your creativity flowing...Lilian has a quick photo tutorial for her card:


1. Cut card base using CTMH Arfully Sent Cricut cartridge and adhere a colored patterned paper on the back. Add ribbon on the bottom.


3. (Not Pictured) Stamp Appaloosa Horse (Creative Vision Stamps) in London Fog ink (Tsukineko/Imagine Crafts), cut it out and color the mane, tail and hooves with Copic markers.

 4. For added texture, use Glossy Accents on the horse image and let dry!


5. Adhere horse image on card with foam tape.

Group 5 : Add Texture and/or Colour Inspiration

Hello! Shawna here from TheGrandStampede
 showing you how you can dye your texture paste and use it for stenciling. It adds wonderful texture and color to any card.. Here it is! Enjoy!

Finished Card
Pictorial How-To 
1. Modeling/Texturing paste, re-inkers, and cardstock
will get you started.
2. Add a couple of drops to a non pourous
surface. I like to keep the color close to the droplet
to make sure I am getting the correct color. 
3. Get your favorite stencil and lay it over your CS
and adhere it down to the table or portable surface.
4. Mix your paste with the re-inkers and start spreading
it around with a knife or, in my case, a popsicle sticks
all over your CS
5. When you have covered the CS with paste CAREFULLY
peel the stencil back and see your result.
6. When you are finished with your tools
clean them ASAP or they will gunk up.
The finished background full of texture and loaded with color.
Finally decided what sentiment stamp to  use. I swear sometimes
the longest time is picking out a sentiment.
The leaves on the dark background paper is
so striking
Added just a bit more detail to the card.

Take care all and we are so looking forward to see what you will create using texture and colour.
