Thank You

 

Hello and hard to believe it is July!  It is hot here in NC and looking to get over to the lake for a bit this afternoon to cool off!

Today I have a card to share that I made with some Penny  Black stamps, Tsukineko ink and Spectrum Noir markers.

I have some Copics, but honestly the price at times just rubs me the wrong way so I thought I would try Spectrum Noir, especially since they were $7.99 a pack (6 per pack) last week at AC Moore.  LOVE the pinks and obviously pink is a favorite color.  First, I stamped the Scented Message image using Versafine Oynx Black and embossed it with clear embossing powder. That step gives details images a clearly defined and slightly raised lines to contain the coloring a bit.  Then I used Spectrum Noir BP2 and BP6 to color in the flowers, the leaves were colored using Copics (as at the time I didn't have greens in SN, I have since remedied that, lol).  After the image was colored, I die-cut it using Labels Twenty and while still in the die, gently sponged with Desert Sand.  The sentiment is from So Blessed.  The Flower Flourish background was stamped using Rose Bud on Passionate Pink card stock.  I added a bit of corrugated cardboard and did some faux stitching along the top. 

Here is a close-up (LOVE how the flowers just pop):

I used Viva Decor pearl pens to add a liquid pearl onto the center of each flower. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

CP117 ~ Viva Decor Embossing Creme

  I made this for the Card Patterns #117 challenge. Love the sketch and gave me a chance to try some new Embossing Cream from Viva Decor in Light Green. I stenciled it on using the Botanical Swirl Art Stencil from Layers of Color and it puffed up when I dried it with my heat gun. Such a great look and obviously going to be picking up more colors. The butterfly from Flutterescent was stamped using Rose Viva Decor Soft-Color Rose and sprinkled with very fine glitter.

Here is a close-up of the stenciling to show the dimension it gives:
