Gorjuss mixed media Christmas card photo tutorial

Hi all,

Today I am sharing you the post I have made for Copic Italia .

Per vedere il post in italiano andare qui.

A mixed media card with some  "fluid art" background using my Copic refills ( Various Ink )

actually there is a bit of everything on my card.

This is what my card is like, 

now I will explain you how I have made it, hope the photos will help to understand.

I have cut a piece of YUPO paper with an Amy design die to create a background.

I have stamped the  Gorjuss stamp  ( Pom Pom )

with Memento tuxedo Black onto Perfect Colouring Paper.

Now it is time to start coloring;

the skin with ;

E 00, E 04, E 11, E 13, E 95

Inspired by the workshop of the talented Katrin Bartholomaeus

( during the meeting of the European Copic instructors  )

I have experimented with  "fluid art" to create the background

 YUPO paper , refills  Copic ( Various Ink ) 

"0" blender , B 000, B 04, BG 72, YG 91

fab foil oro wow

After having finished the background I have cutted some foam 

with a poinsetta die from Marianne Design 

And for the lower petals/ Leaves I have used some Golden paper .

The foam was heated with an embossing fohn and modelled.

Her hat was coloured with

BG 13, BG 15, BG 09, BG 49

and I have also added some sparkle to the flower 

Dark ( black ) hair with ;

110, N 8, N 5

Did you see I have altered her fringe too ?

And I have added some highlights with BG 15

The pom pom was coloured with a Golden decomarker 

and some white spots with a Molotow marker

Let this Christmas sparkle!

Some glitter on her hat and pom pom,

the shadow on her hat was added with BG 05 before adding the glitter.

Her dress 

YG 93, YG 95, YG 97, YG 99

and some dots with the white Molotow marker 

Slowly the card is completed 

On the background I have also added some details with a stencil, 

some stars  and some washi tape ( edizione speciale )

I could not stop myself and added some  

snow paste on the poinsetta and on the left top of the card

The sentiment Buon Natale ( Merry Christmas ) was heat embossed 

with Golden embossing powder. 

This is the final result! 

What do you think?
