Martini Lady



 This stamp reminds me of Holly Goes lightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Gold mirror paper and  Metallic paper is always a beautiful combination choice.


Supplies needed:

Momento Black Ink

Versa mark ink

Embossing buddy 

tape

Purple and lilac metallic papers

Gold mirror Paper 

Gold Embossing powder

3" gold ribbon 

1 glue dot

A2 Card with a window diecut out in the center. I have to apologize didn't realize this card kit isn't available.

Because metallic paper  use your embossing buddy. Versa mark for wet embossing the gold embossing powder. 

For the sentiment,  I inserted the lilac paper and made tic marks on each side to make sure the stamp was placed correctly.  (I use a mechanical pencil,  it erases better than any pencil I have found). 

I taped the mountain and valley to the inside tag. Which was included in the kit. I used a glue dot on the ribbon because I wanted the ribbon to lay flat.

Swinging Fairies


                Night-time Swinging Fairies 


I don't normally do silhouette stamps so this stamp was fun yet challenging.

 I started out with ivory cardstock.  I masked off for the moon. Used scattered straw and squeezed lemonade Distressed oxide for the glow around the moon. Then I applied more Distressed Oxides for the background, starting with the BluePrint Sketch.  Next I'll be bringing  in Faded Jeans.  Last I used the Chipped Sapphire to finish up the edge. I used a white gel pen for highlights on the Fairies and stars. Used black and silver metallic cardstock. 

Swing Fairies

 


Spellbinders circle dies 1 - 7.25"  and  1 - 4" circle die. The large circle was scored in half. Which turns this card into a rocking card. I used Distressed Oxide ink, Chipped Sapphire around the edges of both circles. 

Stamped with Versa-fine Black Oxide, then I used my heatgun to set the ink. Out lined with a white gel pen for highlights.  Beautiful purple and silver Sequins

Swinging Fairies

 I left the lights for this one.  Maybe I added too much bling, 🤣 fairies love sparkly things. Mainly jewelry,  like some people I know
.  

Isn't this a beautiful stamp? It's more beautiful in person. Had to make a night one. I used a flickering candle light to give it a beautiful glow.

Playing with alcohol inks and vellum.  I haven't created with alcohol inks in years.  I forgot how much fun it was.  Needless to say I'll be playing with them again soon.

 These are beautiful,  they are the pearl alcohol inks.  I use the color combination often. I love bold bright colors. 



I positioned the stamp with the positioner.  Using the diecut cardstock to prevent from any mishaps. 



 After the stamp is on the top before inking. You want to remove the cardstock. I Stamped directly on top of the alcohol inks.  I wanted more vibrant colors not muted.
