The Stamp Market Insta-Hop (+GIVEAWAY)!

6 Jun

Good morning!  Today I’m thrilled to be joining two of my favorite crafty friends for a mini insta-hop showcasing new products from The Stamp Market!  Caly, Emily, and I are showcasing three different ways to use the gorgeous new Some Kind of Wonderful floral stamp set and I’m giving one away, too!

Thanks So Much by Jessica Frost-Ballas for The Stamp Market

To start I smooshed picked raspberry, festive berries, and seedless preserves distress ink onto a piece of acetate and spritzed it with water mixed with a drop of Inkon3 Liquid Pixie Dust.  I blended the ink together with my fingers and then I pressed it to a piece of watercolor paper.  I held it in place for 30 seconds to give the ink time to soak in and then lifted the acetate.  I smooshed a little more festive berries and seedless preserves ink onto the acetate and spritzed it but this time I didn’t blend it quite as much.  I pressed it over the wet watercolor paper for a little more variation and then let the ink dry completely.

Thanks So Much by Jessica Frost-Ballas for The Stamp Market

Then I stamped the pretty floral stamp from Some Kind of Wonderful with versamark and heat-embossed it with gold glitter embossing powder.  I added a few accents to the flower and leaves with copic markers.  Then I masked off the flowers and splattered the panel with picked raspberry, festive berries, and seedless preserves distress ink.  After that dried completely I splattered the panel with water and quickly sprinkled it with gold glitter embossing powder.  The water holds the powder (as just as versamark would) and allows for some pretty sparkly splatters!  Finally I die-cut the Thanks So Much sentiment with gold glitter and black cardstock, layered them together, and adhered them with foam mounting tape to finish the card!

Amy has kindly given me a set to giveaway to one lucky reader!  To enter leave a comment and let me know your favorite flower!  And don’t forget to check out Emily and Caly’s take on the same set for lots of inspiration!

Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous day!

    Love your color choice–festive berries and picked raspberry are favorites! They look gorgeous with the gold. Sure is hard to pick a favorite flower, as I love so many. I love the scent of Lily of the Valley and love the blooms of Peonies.

    Your card is stunning. I can’t believe you did the ink before embossing the flower image. Beautiful stamp too, and thanks for all the new tips using the gold ep etc. My fave flower is the tulip. Thank you.

    What’s a beautiful card! It’s hard to chose of favorite flower…but based on my “stash” I think it’s a close race between peonies and poppies! Floral stamps are my favorites!!!
