Easter Chicky #2

Hello friends!

I have another Easter card to share with you for SparkleNSprinkle!

Supply List:

Easter Chicky #820 Stamp Set

Canary Flocking - FL108

Magic Speckle Embossing Powder - EP175

Spring Willow Embossing Powder - EP388

Frosted Juniper Embossing Powder - EP406

Versafine Ink - TSVF082

Nuvo Large Glue Pen - 204N

Fairytale Lavender Glitter - G1129

Foam Squares - 01613

Nuvo Jewel Drops - Key Lime - 645N

1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04

Versamark Ink - VM001

To start making this card, I started by stamping the Floral Image around the outside of my cardstock using Versamark Ink. I sprinkled on the Frosted Juniper Embossing Powder and heat set.  I used an Oval Die to cut out the center of the piece to create my "window".

I stamped the adorable Chicky image onto a piece of white cardstock using Versafine Ink.  Using my Glue Pen, I "colored" the chicky with glue and sprinkled on the Canary Flocking - creating a soft, fuzzy chick!  Adorable, right?

Magic Speckle Embossing Powder was added to the eggshell image (again, I used my Glue Pen to add adhesive where I wanted the embossing powder to go - and let it dry slightly so it becomes "tacky").  I didn't have to "stay in the lines" as I was going to cut out the image aftwerwards.  Doesn't it make it look like an actual eggshell?  After all my Flocking and Embossing Powder were added, I fussy cut the images and set them aside.

Next up - coloring my flowers! I stamped my flower arches with Versafine ink and colored them with my Prismacolor Pencils. They were fussy cut out as well. I added a bit of Fairytale Lavender Glitter to the centers using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen.  The sentiment was stamped using Versamark Ink and embossed with Frosted Juniper Spring Willow EP and heat set for some extra embellishment.

Onto the background!  I added a layer of 1/2" Tear-ific Tape around the outside edge of my green cardstock piece. After peeling off the protective backing, I added the Silver Bullion Gilding Flakes.  They are sure fun to work with - just make sure your furnace doesn't kick in while you are using them (my vent is above my desk - you can image what happened! LOL Flakes flying everywhere!).

  

All the layers were adhered together using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and I popped the Chicky, sentiment and flowers up with Foam Squares for some dimension.  Finally, I added 4 drops of the Key Lime Jewel Drops to each corner.

I hope you enjoy this card and set about creating some of your own fun Easter Creations!

Until next time,

SparkleNSprinkle - Easter Chicky #1

Hello Friends!

I'm here today for SparkleNSprinkle with fun card featuring the January Reveal Stamp Set called Easter Chicky!

Supply List:

Easter Chicky #820 Stamp Set
Beach Cruiser Embossing Powder - EP224
Nuvo Large Glue Pen - 204N
Hyacinth Glitter - G2028
Green Iris Glitter - G1068
Daisy Microfine Glitter - GM2019
Mesmerized Marbled Embossing Powder - EP175
Magic Speckle Embossing Powder - EP175
Versamark Ink - VM-001
1/4" Tear-ific Tape - SAT01
Foam Squares - 01613

This was a fun project for me to create!

This is how I made it:
I took a chipboard frame and covered the entire frame with the Nuvo Large Glue Pen.  After the glue set (a few minutes and it becomes tacky!), I sprinkled on Beach Cruiser Embossing Powder, then heat set.  I repeated the process a second time to ensure full coverage. Beach Cruiser is probably one of my MOST FAVORITE embossing powders from SparkleNSprinkle!

I set to work with my blue cardstock.  I used a corner scallop punch to add a decorative touch to the corners and then  I covered the entire outside edges of the cardstock piece with Versamark Ink.  I sprinkled on the Magic Speckle Embossing Powder and heat set.  Don't you just ADORE the pearlized sheen the Magic Speckle gives?  You can layer it on your other embossing powders too!  I just used it by itself on the cardstock and LOVE the results!

 

I took a piece of Sticker Paper, removed the protective backing and adhered my chipboard piece to it.  Grabbing my Daisy Microfine glitter, I sprinkled it all over the the chipboard and exposed sticker paper adhesive to add some extra sparkle!  Using my finger tool, I burnished the glitter onto the sticker paper. 

I stamped the flowers and Chicky Images onto white cardstock and colored them all with Prismacolor Pencils, then fussy cut them out. I added a bit of sparkle using the Small Nuvo Glue Pen to adhered Hyacinth Glitter to the flowers and Green Iris Glitter to the egg. The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock with Versamark Ink and embossed with Mesmerized Marbled Embossing Powder. I fussy cut it out, dipped the edges into Versamark and added more of the Mesmerized Embossing Powder to add a framed look.

 To assemble, I used 1/4" Tear-ific Tape to adhere all the layers and Foam Squares to pop up the sentiment and single flower.

Finally, I added a bit of accent to the interior of the card using the single Flower Stamp, Versamark and the Mesmerized Embossing Powder.

 I hope you enjoy this card!  I love the final result - and I LOVE making some spring things while it's -45C in the prairies!!  Brrrr!

Until next time,
