Growing in Unity Day 2

 Welcome back to my blog for Day 2.  Today I have a very colorful card for you today, using just a few items.  Once again I will list below the supplies used (noting affiliate links).  Remember to comment for a chance to win a GC to Unity Stamp Company.

This card started with me ink blending three inks, (all from Simon Hurley Create.) Prom Queen, Bee Sting and Shooting star.  Then using my Misti, I stamped the butterfly image from Your Smile four times using Versafine Nocturn ink and covered the wet in with Fairy Dust Embossing Powder.  After I heat set the butterflies, I pressed my Embossing Ink pad over the entire panel and the heat set some more Fairy Dust Embossing Powder.

For my sentiment, I stamped in the same black ink with Fairy Dust EP on some vellum and cut them out with a circle die.  I attached it with some spray adhesive and than matted the panel on some Black cardstock before attaching it to my A2 card base.

Thanks for stopping by for Day 2.  Don't forget to comment and come back tomorrow for a fun Slimline card.

Brutus Monroe You Brighten My Day Rainbow Card

 

I love foiling and today I thought I would share a card that had a focal panel with some of Brutus Monroe Toner Mixable sheets.  I started by foiling my Rainbow panel from the Really Radiant Toner Mixables pack with some Deco Foil Transfer Sheets in Rainbow. Then, I cut the panel and a black mat down with a stitched frame from my stash and adhered them together.

Next, I stamped out my sentiment form the Dogwood Spring Stamp set with Distress Oxide Villainous Potion ink and covered it with Icicle Embossing Powder.  After heat setting, I used the coordinating die to cut it out and matted it on a black frame cut from a stitched die from my stash.  

For some interest, I cut some vellum with the leaves from the Fabulous Florals Die set (3 times) and sprayed them with some shimmer spray to add some shine.  I also sprayed the back of leaves with some Pixie Spray to add adhesive to the back and layered them on the front of my foiled panel.  I used liquid glue to attach my matted sentiment over the ends of my leaves so help keep them in place.  Finally, I adhered the entire thing to a white A2 card base.

GIU Week Thanks rainbow card

 

For my first card this week showcasing Unity Stamp Company products, I wanted to go with an almost one layer and a more simpler card.

I started by placing the Allure border background in my Misti and inked up parts of the stamp with Simon Hurley Creates Shooting Star and stamping it down on my white A2 card panel.  Next, I inked up the image with Bee Sting (also by SHC), overlapping some of the yellow areas.  I repeated this with the SHC Clear Skies ink.  By using these three inks, I can create a rainbow on my background.  I like to use Simon Hurley Inks because the blend well and they also stay "wet" long enough for me to cover the entire image with Embossing Powder.  Here, I used Icicle Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe and heat set it to give my background a shiny finish.

Next, I used some Deco Foil-Unity Adhesive Transfers for my sentiment.  I cut the Thanks from Sentiments 1 and following the packaging instructions adhered that to the center of my panel.  I covered the transfer with some rainbow foil from my stash (a left over piece from another project).  For the sub sentiment, I stamped For All You Do (from my stash) with Raven Detail Ink from Brutus Monroe.

After I cut down my panel to 4" x 5.25," I adhere it to the front of my Black A2 Card base, including a white blank panel on the inside for my message when sending.  To finish off my card, I used some liquid glue to attached a few iridescent gems around my sentiment.
