Krumspring Stamps Anniversary Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

20 Aug

Good morning!  I was honored to guest-design for Maria and Krumspring Stamps last spring and am so excited to be a stop on the Anniversary Blog Hop!  There are 8 new stamps sets available now and I’m using the fabulous Drinks Are On Me for my card!

Cheers by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Krumspring Stamps

We’re reaching the end of the summer here but tropical drinks are good all year long and this stamp set is perfect for making a bright and cheerful cocktail card!  I started by stamping the glasses across a piece of distress watercolor paper with versamark and then heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder.  Next I watercolored the drinks with picked raspberry, abandoned coral, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, and peacock feathers distress ink.  I concentrated the color on the left side of each glass and then used water to blend it out to the other side of the glass resulting in a little bit of soft shading!  Next I applied spectrum noir clear sparkle to each drink and then added a layer of nuvo crystal glaze to each glass.  I set that aside to dry overnight while I worked on the rest of the card.

Next I stamped the little citrus slices, straws, and hibiscus flowers on a scrap piece of watercolor paper and heat-embossed them with the same silver embossing powder (on a side note, the orange slices appear to be heat-embossed with gold embossing powder but I think that’s just a result of slightly sloppy watercoloring…oops).  I watercolored them with distress inks, let them dry, and then fussy cut them.  The next morning I stamped the sentiments onto black cardstock and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder.  I trimmed them down to labels and adhered them to the (now dried) background panel.  Then I used a mixture of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape to add the slices, straws, and flowers to my drinks.  Finally I applied a layer of nuvo crystal glaze to the drink decorations and let them dry completely.  Once everything was dried I trimmed my panel down by an 1/8th of an inch on both sides and mounted it to a black card panel.  This wasn’t the fastest card to put together but I really love how it turned out.  All those extra applications of crystal glaze and spectrum noir clear sparkle were totally worth it! 😉

To celebrate the first anniversary of Krumspring Stamps Maria is giving away a $10 gift certificate for each stop on the hop!  Leave a comment on each stop for 16 chances to win a $10 gift certificate OR the grand prize – which is a Prize Packet containing lots of Krumspring Stamps!  The giveaway ends August 23rd at 12 pm Central European Time (7AM EST).

    I think this card can be used any time of the year because these drinks are always welcome! And they make beautiful art 😊!! It would be great in the winter for someone going on a cruise (that’s really the only time I had drinks like this🍹🛳🏝) or tropical vacation. Love your coloring, thank you.
