SparkleNSprinkle - Girlfriend Support 2

Hello friends!

I'm here today with a new card creation for SparkleNSprinkle featuring the 

Girlfriend Support #839 Stamp Set!

First, let me share the full supply list (if you click on each product, it will take you straight to it in the store!).

Supply List:

Girlfriend Support #839 Stamp Set

Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder EP452

1/4" Tear-ific Tape SAT01

Strawberry Coulis Jewel Drops 643N

Versamark Ink VM001

Pink Flambe Embellishment Mousse 813N

Mother Of Pearl Embellishment Mousse 804N

Rosewater Jewel Drops 647N

1/8" Tear-ific Tape SAT02

Stampendous Stencil Cathedral Windows [DWLJ808]

My first step was to make my background. I used the Stampendous Stencil Cathedral Windows and taped it down over top of a white piece of cardstock. Using a spatula, I spread over the Pink Flambe Embellishment Mousse until the stencil was completely covered. I carefully removed the stencil and immediately washed it (don't let it sit too long or else you will have to get your scrub brush out!).  I set it aside to dry and started to work on my main image panel.

 

I stamped the main image using Versafine Ink and watercolored (my new fave technique!). Once it dried, I stamped the sentiment using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder. I adhered the white panel to a pink background cardstock using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape. To add the lace underneath, I used 1/8" Tear-ific Tape (it works PERFECTLY!). 

To add some extra shine to the background, I rubbed on some of the Mother Of Pearl Embellishment Mousse and adhered it to another piece of pink cardstock with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape. A piece of ribbon was added to the background and then I adhered the main image to the background using some foam dimensional squares.  Finally, I added Tonic Jewel Drops in Strawberry Coulis and Rose Water. 

I hope you enjoy this card - I had a lot of fun making it!  

See you next time!

I chose to work the beautiful Corner Garden Stamp Set.

Supply List:
Corner Garden Stamp Set #842

Versamark Ink VM001

Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder EP452

Embellishment Mousse - Pink Flambe 813N

Clear Embossable Actate - 99602

Black Detail Embossing Powder EP171

1/4" Tear-ific Tape - SAT01

Anti Static Bag - 99512

I had a lot of fun making this card! To start, I took my Anti-Static bag and rubbed it all over my Clear Embossable Acetate piece. This helps to make sure the embossing powder stays put and doesn't fly away everywhere! I stamped my Corner Garden Stamp Set on each corner using Versamark Ink and embossed with Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder.



I set that piece aside and went to work on my main panel. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder. I randomly stamped the flowers and butterfly images using Versamark ink, then rubbed on some colored chalk to color the images! I love this technique - and hadn't worked with my chalks in a long time!



To add some texture, I rubbed on the Pink Flambe Embellishment Mousse randomly over the white panel.



I decided to make some custom brads - so I took my white brad, dipped it into Versamark Ink, then dipped it into Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder and heat set. I used tweezer to hold the brad as it get very hot! After heating the embossing powder, I immediately dipped it back into the Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder to add a second layer.



I used the brads to attached the Acetate Layer to the white panel. Finally, I attached the entire piece to the cardbase using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape!

 

I hope you enjoy this card!  I had fun making it! The next stop on our blog hop is the always amazing Donna and you can find her blog HERE.

See you next time!

MHKDesigns - April Reveal Day 4 - With This Ring

Hello friends!

It's Day 4 of our MHKDesigns April Release.

Today, our stamp set is called "With This Ring".  This elegant stamp set is perfect for all those weddings & showers that are going to be coming up this spring/summer.

                                        

                                        

Here is what I created:

I arranged the digital images in Microsoft Word, then printed onto white cardstock.  I colored them in with watercolor pencils and blended with an Aquapainter.  Next, I covered the entire image with a coat of semi-transparent glitter.  So pretty!

See ya tomorrow!
