Hugs

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created for the current Simon Says Stamp Instagram challenge where the theme is 'Die Cutting'.

I started by creating my background using an Anna Griffin embossing folder. I then blended 2 different colours of Oxide inks over top.

I cut the panel to fit onto a kraft card base and then foam mounted it to my card.

I die cut the large Hugs die from Simon Says Stamps 3 times and added small pieces of foam tape to the back to give it a little extra lift.

Added the die cut sentiment to my card along with a few clear sequins and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp Hugs die

Cuttlebug/Anna Griffin Blossoms Dance embossing folder

Distress Oxide inks - Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry

Alcohol ink and Deco foil

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share today using Alcohol inks, Deco foil and and a patterned piece of paper especially designed to work with Alcohol inks from Hot Off The Press. I bought 4 sheets of this type of paper quite a while ago and have never really used them. Got put to the back of a drawer and forgotten, I guess.

Well they work amazingly well with the inks and the pattern is already stamped and embossed. This particular pattern is called Color Me Glossy Flourish.

I used only 2 colors of alcohol inks and before they were almost dry added the piece of deco foil and burnished it on in a few different areas. I used Lapis Watercolor Deco Foil as it has some blue, gold and silver in the foil.

The die sentiment was cut three times from some white cardstock and all 3 glued together. I stamped and embossed the Simon Says Stamp sentiment onto a piece of black with white embossing powder.

The whole panel was cut with a large rectangle stitched die and then foam mounted onto my card base.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.
