Pear-fect Pair!

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'd like to share my first Sparkle N Sprinkle August Reveal card, using the gorgeous Sketched Pear Set 905 and featuring the Nuvo Shimmer Powders.


I began by stamping the image using the stamp platform on watercolor paper with Clear Mark ink and then heat embossing with White Detail. This was then placed on my Tonic Easy Clean Mat and misted with water using the Nuvo Light Mist Sprayer.



The shimmer powders were applied sparingly and moved around with a little paint brush (I could have also used a water brush).

Solar Flare, Cherry Bomb, Catherine Wheel, Storm Cloud, Blue Blitz and Green Parade were used to color in the image.

After dusting the piece with the anti-static bag, I stamped "bartlett pear" sporadically around the image in Clear Mark ink and again heat embossed with White Detail.

I stamped the same image again on watercolor paper in Black Shadow Hybrid ink. This was fussy cut with the 5" mini scissors to be used as a mask.

Next I applied Custard Cream embellishment mousse through the Tim Holtz Speckles stencil.

When it was dry, it was framed with black cardstock and placed back in the stamp platform so that I could correctly position the sentiment at the bottom left corner.



I then took my "splattered" mask and colored it with the shimmer powders and a water brush.

The frame was edged with the same Custard Cream embellishment mouse, giving the frame a chalky look. This was then layered to a white card base.
The colored "mask" was then mounted to the bottom right to finish off my card.

Below is a list of the products that I used on my project. Also if you are going to purchase anything at the Sparkle N Sprinkle store you can get an extra 10% off your order by using this code at the check out: ShonaDT10.

So, to start of my card today, a heart (Tonic Traditional Hearts Layering Basics Die) was die cut from the center of a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Craft Perfect Embossed Paper Blush Heartbeat. I use the Tonic Guillotine to cut these papers, otherwise they don't cut cleanly.


I then swiped the cut panel with Poppy Red hybrid ink.


I sprinkled one of the specialty embossing powders, Copper Flame on top of the inked panel and heat set from below. This would stop the larger granules from flying off.


Once this was heat set, I continued around the panel, sponging on some Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossing with some Bronze Rose and then some Gold Detail.


Using the Stamp Platform and the anti-static bag, to ensure nice detailed embossing, the sentiment was inked with Nuvo Clear Mark and was stamped on pink cardstock. This was then heat set with Gold Detail and attached to the back of the embossed and inked panel.


The key (Recollections) chipboard pieces were inked with an old Versamark pad. I have an old pad labeled for chipboard pieces, as the burnt edges of the chipboard pieces leave marks on the pad. The keys were also heat embossed with Gold detail. I gave them two coats, to ensure a nice even shiny coat.


A piece of gold thread tied them together and this was attached to the panel with a gold heart brad.


The different sized hearts were die cut, using the Tangerine, from Blush Heartbeat Embossed Paper and Rose Platinum Mirror Cardstock.


The chipboard heart was inked with the old Versamark pad and first heat embossed with Cayenne, but I felt it was too dark and so I re-inked and went over it with Petal Pink.


This was attached to the panel with a little pink heart shaped brad along with the heart cut outs which were attached to the card front with tape and mounting tape, to give varied dimension. The panel was then layered to a 6" x 6" piece of the Rose Platinum Mirror Card.


Some Rose Water Nuvo Jewel Drops were added around the inside of the heart center.


... and once the drops dried - that finished up my card for the day ...


Below you will find a list of the products used in the making of my card today.
