Puppy Girl with SparkleNSprinkle

Hello friends!

Nuance Watercolor Powder Hot Pink MNU005

Dreamweaver Stencil

Hawaiian Soap DWDHHS

Step 1: Make your Background!

I used a piece of Sticker Paper to create my background!  I took my Dreamweaver Stencil and rubbed the Hawaiian Soap over the back in order to prevent the stencil from sticking to the adhesive on the sticker paper and makes it easy to remove!  I placed the sicker paper onto the soaped up side of the sticker paper and rubbed lightly to make it stick. Then, I took my Golden Wheat, Dogwood Rose and Denim Glitters and sprinkled randomly over the exposed adhesive.  I used my finger tool to burnish the glitter in.  I gently peeled off the sticker paper from the stencil and then sprinkled on Waterfall glitter, burnishing well.  This fills in all the gaps that the stencil covered!  Isn't it pretty?

 

Step 2: Create your Image!

I started by taking a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and stamping the Puppy Girl using Versafine Ink (I LOVE LOVE LOVE this new ink pad!).  I took my aquapainter and used some of the Nuance HOT PINK watercoolor powder to give it a bright pink wash over the entire image.  I tried to be very random - not a precise watercolor job!

Once my watercoloring was dry (you can use your heat tool to speed up the process), I trimmed the image down to the size I wanted. I used my Nuvo Fine Glue Pen to add some accent glitters.  I love how precise you can be with this pen.  I used the same 3 glitters (Dogwood Rose, Denim and Golden Wheat).

 

Step 3: Put it together and final touches

I stamped the sentiment using Versamark and sprinkled on some of the Antiquities Embossing Powder, heat setting.  I cut the sentiment apart to better fit the card.  I popped them up on Foam Squares (along with my image).  I made a fun Glitter Ribbon using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and the Denim Glitter. It's a super simple technique!  Simple take a piece of your Tear-ific Tape and apply your glitter to both sides.  I rolled it into a ribbon and tied it around the base.  All layers were adhered using 1/2"Tear-ific Tape.  I finished off with some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Crushed Grape.

I hope you enjoy this creation and can't wait to show you my next card!

Until next time,

Creative Corner Challenges - Fairytale with A Day for Daisies

Hello friends!

It's another fun week at Creative Corner Challenges!  This week, our theme is "Fairytale" and we are sponsored by the GORGEOUS "A Day for Daisies".  I just LOVE their artwork!

Here is what I created using the Digital Stamp called "Promises Promises."

I colored the image using Pearlescent Watercolors.  I added a bit of sparkle to her hair (Golden Wheat Glitter) and some to the frog's spots (Margarita Glitter) with glitters from SparkleNSprinkle.  I also used Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in Indian Gold to accent the oval edges. 

I can't wait to see what you all create and share with us. You could win a great prize, so join in the fun!

I'm also entering this card for the following "Anything Goes" challenges:

So I just fell in LOVE with the "Halloween Cat" stamp set!    

It's so adorable!  I went to work :)

First, I ran a piece of black cardstock through my BigShot using a spider web embossing folder.  Then I used my finger tool and rubbed Black Ash & Indian Gold Embellishment Mousse over the embossed panel, creating the fun background.

I stamped the large cat image onto a piece of white cardstock using Versamark Ink and sprinkled on Fleur de Lis Embossing Powder, heat setting from underneath.  Then I fussy cut out the image. I rubbed on some of the Black Ash Embellishment Mousse around the edges.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and I used Antiquities embossing powder to accent it. Black Ash Mousse was also rubbed on the edges. I made some fun accents using the Ebony Black and Ripened Pumpkin Nuvo Crystal Drops. 

All of the layers were adhered using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and I popped up the image/sentiment using Foam Squares. 

I'm so glad you stopped by the blog hop!  I'm the last stop, so if you are just starting here, you can restart from the beginning on Eret's blog.  Be sure to leave some designer love - we love to hear your comments!

Until next time,

SparkleNSprinkle - Pool Friends

Hello friends!

I'm back today with a new card for SparkleNSprinkle.  This time, I used the new release stamp set called "Pool Friends" to create a fun shaker card!  Let's go!

SparkleNSprinkle Supply List:

Pool Friends Stamp Set - #792

Margarita Glitter - GM2032

Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black - ME900

Quicky Glue Pen - {quicky}

Clear Embossable Acetate - {99602}

Paper Cut Cardstock - Zeus {PC272}

1/4" Tearific Tape {SAT-01}

1/2" Tearific Tape {SAT-04}

Foam Squares {01615}

Pull Ribbon - Blue/Gold {MONR09}

Foam Roll {GBCF3116}

Pearlescent Watercolors {99709}

Step 1:

Stamp image onto white cardstock using Memento Ink and color. I used our Pearlescent Watercolors and an aquabrush to paint mine.

Step 2:

Create your "window".  To start, I took a 4x5.25 piece of blue cardstock and used an embossing folder to add some dimension.  I took a second piece of the same sized blue cardstock and cut out the window using an oval die & my Big Shot machine.  I cut a piece of Embossable Acetate to 4X5.25.  The colored image was centered where I wanted it to show through and adhered using 1/4" Tearific Tape to the background piece.  Next, I attached my Embossable Acetate to the underside of the "window" piece using 1/4" Tearific tape.  

I added the Foam roll all around the very outside edge of the base (I cut the roll in half to make it skinnier so it wouldn't "peek" into my window.  I added my sequins and then attached the top panel carefully so the Foam Roll wouldn't show through. So far, so good!

Step 3: Embellish!

I stamped out 5 beach balls using Memento Ink, watercolored and fussy cut them out.  To add more sparkle,  I took my Quicky Glue Pen and added some Margarita Glitter to some of the beach balls.  I stamped out the drinks & sentiment and followed the same procedure (watercolor, Margarita Glitter and trim). I adhered the sentiment and some of the beachballs using Foam Squares (adds dimension!) and the rest was adhered using Tear-ific Tape. I also added a piece of pull ribbon to the sentiment using a mini stapler. I didn't pull it, just cut a small piece and formed a small loop.

Finally, I doodled around the outside edge using my Quicky Glue Pen and sprinkled on Margarita Glitter.  The entire "shaker" was then adhered to a piece of 4.25X5.5 Zeus Gold Carstock using 1/2" Tearific Tape.  

See how simple a shaker card can be?  

I hope you enjoy this card and pick up some of the supplies I used to create it from the shop.

Until next time,

Jess
