Erin Lee Creative Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

7 Oct

Good morning!  Today I’m guesting for the new release from Erin Lee Creative and we’re celebrating with a fun hop and giveaways!  Here’s what I created using the pretty Fan Flowers background stamp!

Love You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Erin Lee Creative

To start I blended a little chipped sapphire and black soot distress oxide ink onto the edges of a panel of dark blue cardstock.  I let that dry completely and then stamped the Fan Flowers background stamp onto the panel with no-line ink from Ink on 3.  I just wanted a faint outline of the flowers.  Then I used finetec metallic gold watercolors to lightly shade the flowers.  I didn’t use a lot of water since this isn’t actually watercolor cardstock.  I mostly just wanted that gold sheen and a few heavier accents of gold.

Love You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Erin Lee Creative

Once the watercolors dried I stamped the Fan Flowers again but this time with delicata golden glitz pigment ink.  While the ink was still wet I heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder to really bring out the gold shimmer but in a more subtle way than with actual gold embossing powder.  I wanted to keep the stamping very delicate.  Next I die-cut the Love You die three times, twice from navy blue cardstock and once from gold glitter cardstock.  I layered them together and then adhered them to my card.  I love how the subtle ink blending really helps the gold pop!

And that’s it!  I hope you enjoyed my card and definitely head over to check out the full release from Erin Lee Creative!!

Three lucky commenters will each win a $25 gift card to Erin Lee Creative!  Hop along and leave comments at each stop for a chance to win!  Leave your comments before October 11th, 2019 and the winners will be announced the following week on the Erin Lee Creative blog!  You should have arrived from the Erin Lee Creative blog and Laurie is your next stop! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, have an amazing day, and happy hopping!
