Hello and welcome to Crafting with JaneA. I have been a crafter for many years now and enjoy all type of paper crafting, cardmaking, mixed media, as well as crochet, sewing and upcycling, I hope to bring a bit of what I love to my channel and inspire and encourage you in wherever your crafting journey takes you.
As promised yesterday, here is the second part of my lovely framed backgrounds using Brusho and Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint.
This is a snowflake card using the dies from the Seasonal Layers Framelits makes a beautiful clean and simple card by just putting the frame and a sentiment on a white card base.
Good quality Water Colour Paper is essential and Stampin Up Watercolour paper is excellent.
As always here is a FREE video tutorial, to show you exactly how I made this card.
Stitched Shapes Framelits give you the picture frames. Take the largest and second largest squares and follow the video.
Here is the first video in this series which shows you how I started the night sky background

Creating backgrounds for cards can be great fun and easy to achieve lots of different looks. In this tutorial and accompanying video I have used great quality watercolour paper as my base. By using a good heavy weight water colour paper you achieve some lovely results as the water does not pill or breakdown the paper, which can happen if you use an inferior paper.
Brusho, five little pots of concentrated powdered ink, in this first example I have just used the Brilliant Red. I will also show you in a further blog another lovely example using the Prussian Blue, so pop back to see this.
To make the little frames I used the Stitched Shapes Framelitswhich are gorgeous circles, squares and oval dies, four of each shape with a pretty stitched border.
and finally the gorg0eus Winter Woods Bundle. If you love everything trees, then this is the bundle for you.
So here is a step by step video tutorial to show you how to make this lovely background and frame to put it in.

When we craft we can always make a blooper and when I created the video for this card I managed to put this card together upside down. When I viewed it back I thought I would keep it in as it made me giggle that I couldn't fathom out what I had done wrong. So a quick replacing of the dimensionals and everything was good.
This is the pretty card I created. Making a background and layer using the splodge stamp from Peaceful Noel
The Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint can be inked up with a sponge dauber onto the stamp and then stamped onto the image to create a gorgeous gold effect.
