I fell in love with the Bonnet Bouquet Stamp Set and couldn't wait to try it out!

Supply List:



I decided I really wanted to do the Cracked Glass technique with this card!


First, I started by printing off the Digital version of the image (digi version - DIGI838J).  I trimmed it to the size I wanted to use and then covered the entire image with Veramark Ink.  I sprinkled on the Super Thick Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  I repeated the steps 2 more times to make a very thick, glossy layer of embossing powder.  I placed the image in the freezer for about 5 minutes and then came the FUN!  CRACKING!  I gently cracked the frozen piece of paper until I got the amount of cracks I wanted.  How fun and easy!

    

 

I made the background by stamping the sentiment over and over.  Then I applied some Aquamarine Embellishment Mousse to distress it.  



I stamped the main sentiment using Vesamark Ink and embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder. All the layers were adhered with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and I finished it off with some Sunlit Meadow Glitter Drops & Bright Metallic Gold Crystal Drops.










The next stop on our blog hop is the amazingly talented Eret and you can find her blog HERE.

I hope you enjoyed my card and our new release!  Sometimes the simplest of techniques can make amazing cards!

Until next time,

Jess

SparkleNSprinkle - Sitting Pretty Kitty #2

Hello friends!



Today's SparkleNSprinkle card features the Sitting Pretty Kitty stamp set again!

                                     Supply List:
Rosa Embossing Powder EP462
Orange Sherbet Embossing Powder EP245

I started this card by cutting out my base using the Mixed Edge Oval Dies from Tonic Studios.  Shaped cards are so much fun to make!  I inked up my embossing folder using Versamark Ink and ran the front through my Big Shot.  Afterwards, I sprinkled on the Orange Sherbet Embossing Powder and heat set.  Isn't it a cool background?

 



I stamped the image onto white cardstock using Versamark Ink, embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder and watercolored it (I'm sure having fun watercoloring!).  





I used the Small Glue Pen to add accents of Sunny Daze Glitter to the flowers and Ballerina Glitter to the kitty's bow!  The image was cut out using Mixed Edge Oval dies.  I added drops of Orange Marmalade Jewel Drops and set the image aside to dry completely.  I cut another oval of pink cardstock and applied the Large Glue Pen to the outside edge, then sprinkled on the Peach Bellini Glitter, burnishing well.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Rosa Embossing Powder.  All the layers were attached using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape.  I added a bunch of ribbon to the side for a finishing touch!

I hope you enjoyed this card - I sure had fun!

Until next time,

Jess

SparkleNSprinkle - Leafy Spring Flower Wreath #2

Hello friends!


I have another gorgeous card for SparkleNSprinkle today featuring the Leafy Spring Flower Wreath Stamp!

Supply List:

Memento Ink - Angel Pink

As I always say, this card was quite simple to make! ;)

First, I stamped the wreath image using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder. After it was cool, I used a sponge to apply the Angel Pink Memento Ink all around the edges of the card front as well as all over the embossed wreath. This sure made the wreath pop out of the page! 

 

Next, I grabbed the Woodland Green Crystal Drops and squeezed some out on a palette.  I took my aquapainter, carefully picked up some of the drop, then diluted with the water and painted the leaves of my wreath! Such a neat technique!  You can water it down as much as you want to get the desired effect.

   

I stamped the ribbon area out on a piece of white cardstock using Versamark Ink an heat embossed it with Fabulous Grape Embossing Powder. I used the painting technique once again to paint the ribbon using Rose Water Jewel Drops.  I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed with Berry Bliss Embossing Powder. Angel Pink ink was used again to make the sentiment pop out. The sentiment was fussy cut out and attached using foam squares. I added a piece of ribbon for a bit of extra effect (adhered with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape of course!)





Finally, to finish off the card, I added Rose Water & Limoncello Jewel Drops!


I hope you love this card as much as I do!  See you next time,
