SparkleNSprinkle - Luck of the Irish Enchantress #1

Hello friends!


Today's SparkleNSprinkle card is all about St. Patrick's Day! :)

Supply List:

Palm Green Embossing Powder EP372



I just love this image!  She's totally adorable! I stamped the image using Versafine Ink and then watercolored. A bit of Velvet Rose Gold Gglitter was added to her hair and the shamrocks using the Small Glue Pen. I cut a the image out using the Cockle Shell Die from Tonic Studio and stamped a few shamrocks using Versamark ink.  The shamrocks were embossed with Palm Green Embossing Powder. The background was cut using the ZigZag & Floral Motif Tonic Die and all the layers were adhered with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape. To finish off the card, I added a few accents of the Sunlit Meadow Glitter Drops and some ribbon.  The sentiment was stamped using Versafine Ink.

























I hope you enjoyed this card!  I had a lot of fun making it.

See you next time!

SparkleNSprinkle - Pansies in Teacup #2

Hello friends!



Today's SparkleNSprinkle post is another card featuring the "Pansies in Teacup"
Stamp Set!

Supply List:

Platinum Detail Embossing Powder EP 326

This card is simple and gorgeous (in my humble opinion! hehe).

First, I stamped the Teacup image onto pink cardstock using Versamark Ink.  I embossed with Platinum Detail Embossing Powder.  To make the "cup" part, I simply followed the same process - stamping the image onto patterned paper this time and fussy cutting out.  I did a little paper piecing and voila!  There was my pretty teacup!



Background

I added a frame of 1/2" Tear-ific tape to a piece of white cardstock.  After removing the protective backing, I sprinkled on the Robin's Egg Embossing Powder, burnished it with my finger tool and heat set.  I set this aside and continued onto my next layer. The flower image was stamped onto a pieces of patterned paper and I embossed it with the Robin's Egg Embossing Powder! Since it is Semi-Transparent, it leaves the pattern of the paper showing through and a hint of the design!  I love it.

I did the same thing to a piece of pink cardstock that I had previously ran through my Big Shot with an embossing folder and distressed slightly.

The sentiment was Embossed with Platinum Detail Embossing Powder.


Finishing Up

All of the layers were adhered with 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.  I just love how elegant this card turned out, don't you?

Until next time,

MHKDesigns - February Monthly Inspiration


Hello friends!


It's time for my monthly showcase on the MHKDesigns Blog!

I used the Realistic Roses stamp set to make this card.  The digital stamp image was printed onto photo paper and then I used different distress mediums to color it. I used some embellishment mousse dissolved in water and sprayed onto the page, watercolor crayons to add color the roses and embellishment mousse on the edges!

I hope you love this card!  It was easy to make and fun to play with!

Until next time,
