SPARKLE N SPRINKLE'S NOVEMBER REVEAL

Hi and Welcome to the November

Sparkle N Sprinkle New Reveal Blog Hop!

For my reveal card this month I chose to work with the Cat's Meow Set 870. I used some white and buff flocking with highlights from Copics and Memento ink to create my three little cats. We were asked to incorporate some new Specialty Papers from Tonic this month so for my card I used the Warm Dahlia paper to make three flowers, two rugs and a cloud!! I know - I'm a little crazy!

We are pleased to reveal the following new stamp sets this month.

The sets are:

Cat's Meow 870
(Digital Version: DIGI870B)

Snowman Couple - Christmas 872
(Digital Version: DIGI872BG)

Botanical Orchid Flowers 874
(Digital Version: DIGI874J)

You are definitely going to want both the digi version as well as the rubber version because when you purchase the digital versions, there are lots of extras that aren't available otherwise.  These extras can include additional images, additional sentiments, digi papers (in some cases), and a cut file.

The new sets are 20% off until the 20th of the month.  Head on over to the SNS store once you've finished the Blog Hop and start shopping.

SNS is always adding new products and new product lines to the store.  So stop by often to see what's new!


One GRAND PRIZE WINNER will be announced on the 17th of the month.  One of the Designers is our Mystery Host and the winner will be selected from comments left on her blog.  You must leave a comment on each of the Designers' blogs in order to be selected as the winner, as you never know who the Mystery Host will be.  This is checked for compliance.

The GRAND PRIZE WINNER will be announced on the SNS Facebook page and on the SNS Blog and will receive all the rubber stamp sets revealed this month.

So now on to my card. I started by making my background, using three Nuvo Embellishment Mousses: Lemon Sorbet, Citrus Green and Aquamarine. 

These were sponged on to white cardstock using the jumbo daubers. 

Next up was the barn. I cut the barn from both beige and red cardstock. The roof of the silo was cut from grey. I stuck a piece of 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape to a piece of white cardstock and removed the protective backing. The beige border was placed on top of the tape and the little red pieces were inlaid.

The silo was sponged with Indian Gold Embellishment Mousse.

The barn was cut out with my 5" Mini Scissors and the windows and doors were glued in place using the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

This was set aside while I worked on the cats. A piece of 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape was stuck down to a piece of beige cardstock. The protective backing was removed and Buff flocking was burnished in to the exposed tape.

In order to make sure that the cat would stamp well on top of the flocking, I decided to use the Stamp Platform, instead of the acrylic block. The image was stamped using the Hybrid ink Acorn Brown. I did restamp the image to get a nice crisp result.

Memento Cantaloupe was sponged on top of the flocking.

Highlights to the ears and nose were shaded with Copics. To color on top of the flocking with Copics, you just gently apply the side of the tip of the marker to the flocking.

I repeated the process for the other two cats using Snow White flocking on white cardstock and then stamping in the platform with Memento Tuxedo Black. Highlights were again added with Copics. The three cats were fussy cut using the 5" Mini Scissors and googly eyes were attached with the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Here is a close-up to show the fuzziness:

My mats, flowers and the cloud (this embossed paper is white on the back) were fussy cut from a piece of the Warm Dahlia paper.

The stems of the flowers were die cut using the Tonic Woodland Aster die. The sentiment was stamped in Nuvo Clear Mark and then heat embossed with Gold Detail. This was then die cut using the Tonic Layered Clouds die.

I cut out a frame from the Warm Dahlia paper and cut out all my shapes from the middle, so as not to waste any of the cardstock. The frame was layered to white cardstock. The card front was assembled with tape and mounting tape and was layered on to the Warm Dahlia frame. Here is my finished scene:
