Quicker Colourful Card Making 🎨

[@amyswares]

Lovely card as always! I love that water splatter on the oxide background. Brilliant!

[@InkyInspiration]

Wow the embossing powder on the background looks incredible

[@janmarch5039]

I have just started playing with my gel plate, what a great tool for inking and stenciling! I really liked your background and the addition of embossing powder. I have not thought to add a shadow under a die cut, but love that look, really adds dimension and texture to a die cut! Thanks!

[@novablackburn4085]

Great tip about adding sparkle to the gel plate background. Thanks Lou!

[@deanaredd368]

Great shading idea! Thanks.

[@racheljolley26352]

Gorgeous card, excellent ideas, thank you 🥰

[@lynnbartlett4185]

Love this card. I like the way you put a shadow around the flower to give dimension. I will definitely try this. Thanks Lou. X

Beautiful Lou xx

[@3catmom844]

Pretty!

[@chrisarlington1792]

Oh, Wow!!!

[@pennydouphinett4545]

Adding the embossing powder to your background is a new one to me. Will have to try it. Thank you. I do love gold glitter embossing powder, but it can be a problem with very detailed stamps.

[@cherieb.5409]

Beautiful card 😮😊

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great card and tutorial! I love that shading tip! Thanks Lou.

[@laurifall8003]

Love the black soot behind the flowers. I love the background, it would be perfect for a card I need to do this weekend. Thanks for the ideas.

[@bettyareson6098]

Yes I did learn something new. ❤

[@kcinca5410]

Fast crafter? I have no idea what it's like to be that. I've been making cards forever and unless I'm batch making, nothing gets finished in a short period of time. It's always a couple of hours at least.

[@sueschwartz7296]

Same for me.😌

[@Dotalina33]

Same here. To make a card for one person it usually takes me 2-3 hours especially male cards. What a taxing on the creativity.

[@christinabotha5652]

Here I was thinking it's only me - takes me 2 hours minimum to finish a card

[@ernestinebyrne9912]

Indeed. It seems like each one takes a long time while I make it perfect! Lol

[@jeanpolkoski2107]

Same. My cards take forever.

[@lynnehodson]

Lovely card❤ Great tip about the shading

[@lynnehodson]

Love a gel plate print👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

[@LouCollins]

Me too! I could do them all day 😍

[@Kathi-wc3ix]

If you’re in that big of a hurry why bother? Crafting just takes me away and I look up and hours have gone by in such peace and contentment. …Your white flowers just make sad, ( but I will not even grow white flowers in my garden 🫣😂🤣😂🤣). But…I DO so LOVE your background!… So…. …To their own , for sure!👍 … Plus I learned something, so thank you!☺️ for sharing this!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@bethrogers5656]

I love how you make those beautiful background with your gel plate to create this lovely card that looks like it has dimension but is flat. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@jeannefentress1814]

I had to buy a gel plate..beautiful card. Love your videos. ❤👍

[@mandyhall1674]

That gel print is gorgeous and love the shading you did, very effective. Lovely card Lou. Thanks and have a great weekend x

[@suechapman8580]

Beautiful card. Can you please let me know what card you use when doing this technique. Thanks.x

[@LouCollins]

Only copy/printer paper for the background x

[@mellyj3874]

❤

[@jogriffiths4797]

Lovely card. What type of paper did you use on the gel print? I seem to use too thick or too thin for that water technique.

[@LouCollins]

Only copy paper, nothing very thick at all x

[@julieb737]

What’s the make and name of the gold embossing powder ? I’ve never seen one so sparkly before .

[@LouCollins]

That was a Papermania one, I think it is called Tinsel Gold

[@christinabotha5652]

Lovely card - personally I wouldn't do the shading.

[@Nicole-pu8ve]

The blue background is simply stunning. What a shame to cover it!!!

[@susanellis1828]

Too much talking foe me I’m afraid
