Remember scratching messages and pictures on black scratch notes years ago? I wondered if I could use my cardmaking tools to make gorgeous colorful cards with them, and the answer is YES as I show in my newest video here. I used 4 colors of Arteza Scratch Notes to make this card step by step in the video with an embossing folder from Taylored Expressions. This card is even more sparkly and beautiful IRL and in the video.
I also show in the video how to use a stencil to scratch off the black in a pretty pattern and how to write a message with these fun black squares from Arteza.
**Watch the video here for a chance to win a sample pack of the scratch off squares and your favorite card from the video so you can give this a try!**
Here is another card I shared in the video showing using die cuts and punched scratched and embossed images on this shaker slimline card. The shaker is full of multi-colored Ceya Broken Glass, the flowers diecuts are from Birch Press Designs and the slimline die is from Gina Marie Designs.
The scratch off pieces are 3 1/2 inches square which is not perfect for making cards, but I taped two together for this mini-slimline card (and taped four together for the first card above) before embossing with an embossing folder. This folder is from Sizzix. I found I liked using folders with larger parts embossed and raised as opposed to ones with very delicate lines. You should try this with the embossing folders and stencils you have and see what you think. The Arteza scratch off squares are inexpensive and fun to play with as I show in the new video here.
I am entering the 2nd card in the Stencil It challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday.
