I’ll have more to share this week but today I’m kicking it off with two very different cards!

Thanks by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

First up is this card featuring the gorgeous Wildflower set!  I actually will have a video up on the Simon Says Stamp blog with a similar take on this technique in a few days but for today, words will have to do! 😉 To start I blended cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, shaded lilac, and wilted violet distress oxide inks onto a piece of strathmore bristol cardstock.  I spritzed it with water and blotted off the excess.  Once it was totally dry I stamped the Wildflowers onto the bottom of the panel and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Next I blended black soot distress oxide ink lightly over the bottom of the panel allowing some of the colors to peek through.  Then I buffed the excess ink off the embossed areas with a swiffer cloth to reveal the pretty colors beneath.  I splattered the panel with water again and blotted off the excess.  Then I dried the panel and spritzed it with shimmer spray.  Then I splattered it with watered down white gouache and let it dry.  Next I die-cut the Thanks from black and white cardstock, layered it together and adhered it with foam mounting tape.  Finally I added nuvo crystal and jewel drops to add little pops of color!

Anchor by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

My next card went in a little different direction! 😉  I started by placing the Nautical Stripes stencil over kraft cardstock and blended unicorn white pigment ink over the stencil.  I dried it with my heat gun and then placed the stencil back over the panel.  I used purple tape to mask off the areas and blended chipped sapphire and candied apple distress oxide ink over the different areas.  I let it dry again and then placed the stencil back over the panel.  Finally I pressed a versamark pad over the stencil and sprinkled it with clear embossing powder.  Next I die-cut the Anchor from white cardstock and added a few accents with copic markers.  I added a little kraft twine and wrapped it around the anchor before adhering it to the stenciled panel with foam mounting tape.  I layered the panel on white and navy blue cardstock with the same twine wrapped around the white cardstock.  Finally I finished it with a heat-embossed sentiment from Your Light!

And that’s it!  I’d love to know your favorite products in the Rest and Refresh release!  Thanks so much for stopping by today and happy shopping!!

    I love both of these cards but the Nautical one is eye catching with the kraft, red and blue. Beautiful work!
