Sunshine in my pocket

One card two ways…

September 6, 2018 Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun project with the new September Hedgehog Hollow box! I was inspired to create a card using the oval background stamp and then STEP IT UP a bit!

So I have two cards…the first one is the basic card using the background, then adding the floral stamp to the center of the oval.

I used the oval stamp FIRST, in Distress Oxide ink in Faded Jeans color. Then I added the floral spray to the middle of that stamp and used Memento Tuxedo Black. I Copic colored those flowers and then added the sentiment, also from this September box. To finish it off, I used Nuvo Drops in white across the card.

After I made this card, I wanted to make it again, but this time adding some EXTRA SHINE! So after I stamped the background, I added some glitter embossing powder to the top. Then I stamped the floral image in the center and colored it.

After it was colored, I put it back in my MISTI and stamped over the lines with Versamark ink and added SILVER EMBOSSING POWDER.

I hope you can see some of that glitter in the background and the silver embossing powder around the edges.

To see the process better, watch my video here or on YouTube:

 

Which card do you like better? Here’s another view that shows a bit more of the sparkle:
I really do think it’s stunning in real life!
