You Glow, Girl!!

Hello friends!   It's time for another round of inspiration over at A Blog Named Hero!   This month's collaboration partner is Chibitronics, and our theme is interactive.   I created another light up card for you today!

I used a Hero Arts stencil and Hero Arts Ombre Inks on a piece of white cardstock and once finished, I smooshed a Versamark ink pad over top of the stencil, added clear embossing powder and heat set it.   Next, i added black ink over top of the entire piece - the Versamark resists the ink, and lets the colors show through!   Just give it a quick wipe with a paper towel to remove the ink that remains on the Versamark.

I used a small star punch I found in my stash to punch star shaped holes in three of the embossed stars.   

Creating the circut is really easy!   Just line up a slightly smaller piece of paper behind the focal panel and mark where you want the lights to be.   Then follow the easy instructions included in the Chibitronics kit.....really, I swear it's not too hard!   

The sentiment, from Hero Arts' You Glow Girl was perfect for the theme!   I stamped in Versamark and embossed with Wow embossing powder.  A few Nuvo Drops added the final embellishment!

Thanks for stopping by today!   I hope you join in on the fun 'Interactive' challenge over at A Blog Named Hero (it can be anything interactive....you don't need to make it light up!!).    Can't wait to see what you create!

Congratulations Hot Air Balloon

Hello and happy "hump day"!   I've got another card using the Joseph's Coat technique today.    CAS-ual Fridays floral series of stamps lend themselves well to this technique, and I just can't stop playing around with color combinations!

I used Catherine Pooler's inks for this one again, and fussy cut the balloon from Floating out.   I spritzed it with shimmer spray before adhering it with foam adhesive to the partially embossed background (the embossing folder is from Taylored Expressions).   I added some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, and the sentiment is from Heartfelt Sayings.  If you want more information on how I created the hot air balloon, check out THIS post!

Rainbow Full On Floral - Plus a Video!

  Hi guys!   I've got a fun rainbow colored card to share with you and a video to go along with it!  Michele from CAS-ual Fridays and a few of you asked for a video sharing how I used the Joseph's Coat technique to create this card for CAS-ual Fridays' new release last week, so I decided to oblige, lol!

This is such a fun technique, with a real wow-factor! Check out the video for all the details!

Like I said in the video, any black ink will work, but I really like Catherine Pooler's inks (especially the Midnight black!) because they are really, really juicy.  You can find them (and save 10% on your first order) here! Check out that gorgeous color!
