Good morning! I’m super excited to be a stop on the hop for the Simon Says Stamp Friendly Frolic blog hop!!
Have you checked out the new release yet? It’s FANTASTIC!!!
|
I’ve already shared three cards using the new release here and today I’m sharing another card using the gorgeous Earth Has Music stamp set designed by Stephanie Low!
I just love this stamp set…the flowers mixed with the feathers are SO beautiful! I started by stamping the hibiscus feather onto strathmore bristol cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I stamped it again on masking paper, fussy cut it and placed it over my embossed image. Then I blended candied apple, picked raspberry, abandoned coral, spiced marmalade, and squeezed lemonade distress ink over the panel for a tropical vibe. I spritzed it with water and clear iridescent spray and blotted off the excess water. Then I flicked it with black ink, remove the post-it notes, and let it dry.
Once the background was totally dry I colored the flowers with copic markers. I added a little grey shading to the petals and then added bright pink to the stamens of the hibiscus flowers! I stamped the sentiment from Earth Has Music onto the panel with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I trimmed the panel down and adhered it to a black card base. Finally I finished the card by adding a few black jewels and a thin layer of nuvo crystal glaze to the flowers!
