Ilina here today. And welcome to another Team Tuesday. Unfortunately today I don't have a video for you (it's little crazy in our house: colds, stomach bugs and Creativation prep, besides my full time job). But I have an extra fun card for you and a tip how you can use only 3 ink pads for 5 layer layering stamps.
For my card I used the Impression Obsession Macaron stamp set and stamped each Macaron using the following sets of 3 colors (inks by Impression Obsession)
Banana, Canary and Goldenrod;
Bubblegum, Peony and Ruby;
Seafoam, Aqua and Teal.
What I did was: I stamped the 1 layer with the lightest color, next for the 2nd layer I used the same color but stamped it twice thanks to my MISTI, this way I was able to achieve a shade darker color, then went with the middle color, then the darkest and for the 5th and final layer I stamped with the darkest color twice using my MISTI. And I was so happy how my macarons turned out.
Next, I cut them out.
I stamped the sentiment in versamark and embossed with Gold Embossing powder, then I adhered the macarons, added the gold thread and adhered to pink card base. I added washi tape and sequins to finish off the card.
Hope you are inspired to create something fun today. And I promise next time I will have a video for you :)
Just before Christmas, I was out shopping. I was at my favorite store, Maurice's, and I came across the cutest top. It was hot pink with white flowers. The first thing I thought was that I can make a card with that design.
I thought I would pull out all my Altenew flower stamp sets and have a go at making something. Without a plan, just stamped away. It was so refreshing to just play and not worry about wasting cardstock. I didn't worry about the rules to colored pencils.
I stamped the card pictured above with the Best Mom stamp and used a sentiment from Label Love. I only used two Prismacolor pencils. Once I was done coloring it in, I overstamped it with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Then I added some Pretty Pink Posh Confetti Sequins.
For this card I used the Wild Hibiscus stamp set. I used masking paper to make the center flower appear that it was in the forefront. I used a Hello Gorgeous die from Honey Bee. Then I used Sherbert Shimmer for the center of the flowers.
The card pictured below uses the Botanical Gardens stamp set with Simon Says Stamp Painted Thanks die. I used Little Things from Lucy pearls to embellish.
I really loved this card and I wanted to make multiples. So when I went back to make extra, I messed up the placement and ended up with this version. The Happy die is from Mama Elephant and the word birthday is from Honey Bee Happiness stamp set. I used Papertrey Ink Rainstones.
For my final card I used Concord & 9th Hello Lovely stamp set. This time i used clear embossing powder.
I did go through an entire white pencil making and playing with this. I only show one card in the video from beginning to end since the technique is the same for all. I do have to admit that photographing the cards was a bit difficult. It took several tries to capture the true color of the cardstock.
Be sure to watch the video until the end to see the blouse that inspired me. Thanks for stopping by.
