Aster Garden - Light Version

Hello friends!

Today I'm sharing a May Reveal Card for SparkleNSprinkle!  As you recall, last week I shared my Dark Version of the Aster Garden Stamp Set. Well, this week I have the opposite! I created a "Light Version" as well!

First up (like always!)....my SparkleNSprinkle Supply List:

Aster Garden Stamp Set 893

Nuvo Shimmer Powder - Atlantic Burst 1213N

Nuvo Mica Mist - Fresh Pear 574N

Nuvo Mica Mist - Turkish Rose 573N

Versamark Ink VM-001

Magic Speckle Embossing Powder EP175

Gold Detail Embossing Powder EP168

Nuvo Glitter Drops - Aquatic Mist 765N

Nuvo Glitter Drops - Blue Lagoon 753N

Nuvo Masking Fluid 969N

1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04

Onto the card tutorial!

So, this was another "Mixed Media" project for me...and it started with PHOTO PAPER!  Yes, shiny, glossy photo paper. I used a 4.25x11 sheet of paper to start with (I knew I was going to make multiple cards from this background!  I grabbed my brand new Nuvo Shimmer Powder in Atlantis Burst and started to play! First, I misted the photo paper with water and then I sprinkled on my Shimmer Powder!  Look at how it reacts with the water!  You don't need much - it is highly concentrated!  You can grab an Aqua Painter brush and move the powder around too (like watercolor!). 

You can see in these photos how I moved the color around! 

  

This was the dried effect:

  

I also sprayed on some Nuvo Mica Mist in Turkish Rose! SOoo pretty!

Next, I used my Nuvo Masking Fluid!  This stuff is pretty cool. You literally drop it wherever you want the color to remain underneath (hence, the MASK!). Set it aside to let it dry, then you can layer whatever you want on top. You will then peel off the mask (it's a latex type product so it will just pull off when dry). Pretty cool!

Dripping the Masking Fluid on! 

This is the dried Masking Fluid - you can see how it turned more clear and rubber looking!

I took my Fresh Pear Mica Mist and sprayed that over top of everything.

  

Then I simply peeled off the "masks" :) 

  

PHEW!  That was a lot of photos - but I really wanted to showcase the background!  It was so much fun to make!

The rest of the card came together quite quickly. I embossed the Asters using Versamark Ink and Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I took another piece of white cardstock and embossed the Aster one more time with Versamark Ink and Magic Speckle Embossing Powder! SOO pretty! The sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and Gold Detail Embossing Powder.  I randomly sprinkled on more Magic Speckle Embossing Powder and heat from underneath - giving a more random look and feel. A light wash of the Atlantis Burst Shimmer Powder was added on the seniment as well!  I used Black Cardstock to back all the white layers and 1/4" Tear-ific Tape to hold everything together.

  

Finally, Nuvo Glitter Drops in Sunlit Meadow and Blue Lagoon were added to accent everything. Prepare yourself for more photos! :)

 

 

 

SOOO - I hope you like this photo loaded tutorial!  Remember to comment both HERE and on the main SNS Blog Post too to be entered in our monthly contest! 

Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate all of your comments!

See you soon,

I guess I'm up first this month, so let's get this reveal party STARTED!!!!

I had a lot of fun creating this gorgeous little mermaid!

Supply List: 

Stamp Set - 847 - Kaitlyn Mermaid  

Priceless Peacock Ultrafine Glitter - G1015
Jewel Drops - Strawberry Coulis 643N
Sticker Paper - 99558
Glow in the Dark Crystal Drops - Blue Crush 745N
Caribbean Ocean Crystal Drops 670N
Versamark Ink - VM001
Stazon Black Ink
Lator Gator Ultrafine Glitter - GM2008
Small Nuvo Glue Pen - 202N
Peacock Embossing Powder -EP301
Embellishment Mousse - Pacific Teal - 822N
Blue Jewel Ultrafine Glitter - G1113
Rapture Blue Glitter  
1/2" Tear-ific Tape - SAT04

I started by stamping this adorable image onto a piece of white cardstock.  I watercolored her (using the backing card as a guide!) and added some Lator Gator Ultrafine Glitter to the plants using the Small Nuvo Glue Pen.  I also added the Blue Jewel Glitter to her hair with the glue pen! :)  I set the panel aside and went to work on my Background!

I cut my Sticker Paper down to card size (4x5.25). Carefully using an Exacto Knife and a ruler, I cut strip into the backing paper just through to the paper side (not all the way!).  I removed each triangle separately and sprinkled on different shades of Glitter - Blue Jewel,  Priceless Peacock and Rapture Blue. Isn't it pretty?

  

Once all my watercoloring was dry, I grabbed the bottle of Caribbean Ocean Crystal drops and made "water" droplet accents all around the mermaid. I also added some Strawberry Coulis Crystal Drops to her bracelet and belt.

The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap piece of white cardstock with Versamark and embossed using Peacock Embossing Powder.To assemble the card, I fussy cut out my pretty mermaid and the sentiment. I rubbed on some of the pretty Pacific Teal Embellishment Mousse to the edges of the fussy cut pieces.

They were attached to the glittery sticker paper using 3D Foam Tape.  I added a bit of bakers twine behind the mermaid for a little accent. The entire panel was adhered to a piece of white cardstock and then again onto a piece of blue card base using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape! 

So, here is a funny thing that happened next.  I thought I was grabbing the Caribbean Ocean Crystal Drops to finish off my corners - but instead I grabbed my Glow in Dark Blue Crush Crystal Drops!  OOPS!  So, this card will have a little something extra special when the lights are turned off! hahaha! 😃💓

I really hope you enjoyed this card!  There are soooo many gorgeous creations awaiting you on the blog hop, so head on over to Belinda's Blog HERE to see what she created!

I'd like to enter this card in the Creative Moments Challenge #116!

See ya next time!

I just fell in LOVE with the Fishing Stamp sets this month! Aren't they fun? I chose to work with the Just Go Fishing (digi version DIGI779). I printed off the images first and then fussy cut the words. I used my Sakura Glue Pen {quicky} to trace the letters,, sprinkled on Silver Embossing Powder {EP179) and heat set. I also used the Glue Pen and Silver Embossing Powder {EP179} to accent my image layers. I love how versatile the Glue Pen is for accenting creations - so quick and easy to use! You definitely need one (or two!) in your collection.

To make my background, I inked up my chevron embossing folder with Versamark {VM-001}. I placed my piece of cardstock into the folder and ran it through my Big Shot. I carefully removed the cardstock and sprinkled on Poolside Embossing Powder {EP393} to the side where the Versamark transferred. I tapped off the excess, then heat set, creating the fun background!

I die cut out the image and a background layer and adhered with 1/8" Tearific Tape {SAT02}. I used Foam Squares {01615} to pop up the image and adhere to the background. I also adhered the fussy cut words to the background using Tear-ific Tape {SAT02} and adhered the background to my cardbase. I finished off the card by using Nuvo Crystal Drops - Gloss Ebony Black {650N} to accent the corners and draw some black chevrons. 

The next (and final) stop on our hop is the super talented Eret and you can find her blog here. Make sure to comment on the entire hop for your chance to win ALL the new releases!

Until next time,

Jess
