Crazy About You - You Rock

Hello!

Today I'm happy to take part in another Global Design Project challenge! This week it is another beautiful sketch by Teneale Willams - Sketch Challenge #034!

This card will go to one of my long time customers! Her orders are delivered directly to her house and I don't always get to thank her with a card!

I had sooo much fun with this card!

Teneale's inspiration.

The retiring Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder adds sparkle to my main sentiment. What will I do without it?!

My Product List

Hints & Things

• I die cut the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits die from craft foam and used this as my stamp. I adhered the foam piece with a removable adhesive onto a stampin' block.The heart was heat embossed with White Stampin'  Emboss Powder. 
• To finish my background I used a broad flat brush to paint over the embossed heart. For this I used Pacific Point and Bemuda Bay ink. I also splattered with Rich Razzleberry over the back ground.
• Before I die cut the Thanks thinlit, I painted a piece of Watercolor Paper with Rich Razzleberry, and although not very visible, I also added Bemuda Bay in the mix! I always layer up on my intricate dies to make them more sturdy.
• To anchor my greeting, I used as always... Vellum! Gotta love the stuff!

I wish you all the best for the rest of the week!

Take care!

Hello!

Before I created and posted my Nature themed entry for the Global Design Project #031 challenge, I created this card! Same products (more or less) but totally different look! Let me know what you think!

Everybody loves butterflies!

I think the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen was made for Butterflies!

My Product List

Hints & Things

• I used my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to lift the ink from my Classic Stampin' Pads to colour my punched Elegant Butterfly (coordinating stamp set Papillon Potpourri, 132058 forgot to link in my product list!) The pen is not damaged in anyway and you can clean the tip by wiping it off on paper or use a damp cloth! It truly gives a lifelike shimmer to the butterfly!
• The rest of the card I kept simple because of the strong Black and White theme!
• Always plan where you put the adhesive on your Vellum - I always hide it behind a layer if I can, otherwise I use a strategically placed Glue Dots!

Thanks for your time! No go make some cards!
