Lovely Thoughts of You

Hi there,

Today I'd like to share my last July Reveal card. This time I am using the lovely Sketched Pear Blossom Set 904.


I began, using the Stamp Platform, stamping the image on white cardstock in Clear Mark and heat embossing with White Detail. Then I made a paint palette with an acrylic block and dropped a few Aquaflow marker colors on the block. The image was colored in with a water brush, picking up the colors from the block.

I stamped the image again with Clear Mark and heat embossed with White Detail,
this time on Kraft cardstock.


The color was bleached out of the image, using an aqua brush that was filled
with bleach.


The colored version was fussy cut, using the mini 5" scissors, into little half inch
squares. They were then popped up, with foam pads to their matching places
on top of the bleached version.


I made a frame from the Kraft cardstock with the Sizzix Dotted Oval die and cut
out the same frame from a piece of foam, using the Tangerine machine. These
were adhered together. Then I ran the Copic marker around the edges.


The frame was then sprayed with Antique Gold Mica Mist.


A piece of Copper Feathers Specialty Cardstock was cut in the Tonic Guillotine. The guillotine cuts through the fabric papers beautifully.


A few flowers were then sprayed with the same Antique Gold Mica Mist.


The sentiment from the set was stamped in the Stamp Platform on Kraft cardstock with Clear Mark and heat set with Gold Detail.

This was then die cut with a smaller oval from the Sizzix set and some Indian Gold Embellishment Mousse was sponged around the edges.

I dipped 4 large brads into my Versamark pad and dipped them in Halo embossing powder. Holding the brads with tweezers, I heat embossed them to give them some gold sparkle. A hole was punched in the tag and one of the brads was put through the sentiment and one of the flowers. The other three were for the three flowers.



The card was assembled at this point with the frame being attached to the specialty paper square. The flowers were attached with tape and foam pads around the frame and the brad for the sentiment was put through to the back of the specialty paper. The specialty paper was then attached to Harvest Gold Mirror Cardstock.

A few drops of Honey Gold Glitter drops were added around the card and on top of the flowers to simulate dew drops.

That finished off my card for today. Hope you've enjoyed my share? Below is a list of the products that I used:

 Sketched  Pear Blossoms 904
White Detail (EP298), Halo (EP253), Gold Detail (EP168)
Sizzix Dotted Ovals Die

Discover Beauty Everyday!

Hello there,

Today, I'd like to share with you my last June Reveal card, showcasing the lovely Colorful Cosmos Set 899.


I started by stamping the image, using the Stamp Platform, with Hybrid Black Shadow ink.




I then made a little palette, with an acrylic block, for the Nuvo Aquaflow markers, and applied them to the image using a waterbrush.


Once this was colored, the self adhesive Tonic balloon shaker die case was placed over the top of the image, with some "relic" Suzie Weinberger's Mini Mosaics placed inside.


I made the frame by die cutting on the Tangerine a piece of self-adhesive craft foam and a piece of the Ivory Bouquet Craft Perfect Specialty paper, using the Sizzix Dotted Ovals dies. I then sponged on a little Custard Cream embellishment mousse.


The sentiment was stamped in Black Shadow ink and was die cut with the same dotted ovals die along with another piece of the craft foam, which cut beautifully with the Tangerine.

I stamped three single flowers directly on to the foam sheet using the Hybrid Diamond ink Rubber Duck from the Tropical Fruit set. These were then fussy cut using the 5" mini scissors and were then sponged with the Custard Cream embellishment mousse.

Nuvo deluxe adhesive was applied to the flower centers and Butterscotch glitter was added.

I stamped some stems at the bottom of the easel card base with Lime Burst from the same Hybrid ink set.

The card was then assembled using Craft Perfect foam pads. Some Key Lime Jewel drops and Yellow bird Glitter drops were then added.

Here is my finished easel card.

Below is a list of products that I used in my card.

Nuvo Hybrid Black Shadow Ink
Stamp Platform
Tangerine
Nuvo Aquaflow Pens Lemon Zest, Spiced Ginger,
Fresh Green
White Foam Sheets
Sizzix Dotted Ovals Die
Suzie Weinberg’s Mini Mosaics - Cracked Corn

Live as if .....!

Hi there,

I'm back today to share my last May Reveal card using the lovely Aster Garden Set 893 this time.


I began by stamping the main sentiment in the middle of white glossy cardstock in Nuvo Clear Mark using the Stamp Platform then I heat embossed with Gold Detail.


I then made two masks of the big flower from post-it notes, stamping in Memento black ink and fussy cutting with my 5" Mini Scissors.


I inked up the stamp using the Hybrid ink Diamonds Set Tropical Fruit and with the help of the masks I stamped around the sentiment, so that the images didn't overlap one another.


I stamped the smaller image with the butterfly on glossy card in Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail.  This was then colored in with Aquaflow Watercolor markers - making a pallette from an acrylic block and applying the colors with the Nuvo Water Brush. Once dry this was fussy cut again with the 5" Mini Scissors.


Next I stamped on top of the flower circle with Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail the same butterfly image.


Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive was applied to the back of the fussy cut piece and placed on top of the stamped image.


The larger flower was stamped twice in Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail and then after being colored with the colors from the same pallette, they were fussy cut with the 5" Mini Scissors.


An embossed frame was made from cutting out an oval from the Craft Perfect Ivory Bouquet paper, using the Tangerine Machine along with the Sizzix Dotted Ovals and a Spellbinders Grand Ovals die.


Next I made my card base. Using the next biggest size oval die, I cut out the front of the easel card and then the base was made, using a scrap piece of cardstock at the fold of the card base, to "stop" the machine from cutting past the fold - the card front would then be placed on top. I did the same on the base edge - this way the base is also rounded.


For the smaller sentiment I applied Versamarker pen to the word "as" from the first sentiment and stamped it on to white glossy card with the Nuvo Clear Ink and then heat embossed with Gold Detail again. Then using the Stamp Platform I lined up the second sentiment and embossed with Gold Detail. This was then die cut in the Tangerine using one of the smaller Dotted Oval Dies.


The large flower was stamped again above this sentiment with a piece of scrap paper under the oval, so ink would not hit the platform. Again stamped with Nuvo Clear Mark and heat embossed with Gold Detail.


This was again colored with the Aquaflow Watercolors.


I layered up the card front and then ran the Versamarker Pen around the outer edge of the large oval front and heat embossed a little Gold Detail to distress the edge.


The two colored flowers were then attached to the card front, placing on top of the existing stamped flowers with some 1/4" Tear-ific Tape.


The Sakura Glue Pen was used to apply a little Autumn Frost Glitter to the center of all the attached  flowers and Butterscotch Glitter to the petals.


Two more images were stamped using the Hybrid Inks Tropical Fruits on the card base and then the smaller sentiment was positioned on the card base as my "stop" with mounting tape. A few Honey Gold Crystal Drops were added to the base of the easel. This finished off my card for today.

Calla Lilies with Love!

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'd like to share my second April Reveal project, which highlights the new Calla Lilies Set 888 along with the jar from an older set, Fill the Jar 423. The jar can now be found in the Bugs in a Jar set 510, featuring the Faux no line watercoloring technique, which blogger friend Verna introduced me to.


For this technique you stamp on to normal printer paper, not cardstock, color in your image and then turn the paper over to get the no line effect. So I began with stamping the Calla Lilies with the Hybrid Safari Green ink using the Stamp Platform.


The jar from the Fill the Jar set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black using the Stamp Platform for positioning.


This was then colored in with Copics.


Turning the paper over you will see that the lines are not seen - and it looks like a watercolor painting. You can use the Copic Blender pen to take away any color that is too "outside the lines" if you wish.


I then cut a piece of 3 1/4" x 6 3/4" piece of Super Adhesive Sheet and centered it on to a piece of white cardstock. My image which measured 3" x 6 1/2", was then centered on top of the Super Adhesive Sheet. This gives a sticky edge to which you are going to apply Daisy (GM2019), Margarita (GM2032) and Ocean Breeze (GM2039) Microfine Glitters. After the glitters were applied I used the Tonic Guillotine and cut off the white edge (which served as rigidity) as the panel will be layered to a piece of 7" x 3 1/2" blue cardstock.


Next I cut out the Tonic Mini Moments With Love die, using the Tangerine - once from blue cardstock and twice from white.


Using the Nuvo Medium Glue Pen, I stuck the three die cuts together.


I placed a little strip of adhesive-backed lace to the top of the jar and filled in any remaining adhesive with the Ocean Breeze Glitter.


Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive was applied to the Die cut piece and it was adhered to the front of the jar.


Some of the adhesive was also applied to the front of the die cut, not completely covering it and then I added some more of the Ocean Breeze glitter, for a slightly distressed look.


Nuvo Glitter Drops White Blizzard were added to the center of the flowers for extra "pop" and dimension.


and that finished off my project for the day.


Hope you've enjoyed my share today. This really is a fun technique, thanks again Verna for the inspiration! Listed below are the materials I used to make my card today, most of which can be found in the Sparkle N Sprinkle store.
