Go for the Green - Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #58

This was such an easy card to make.  I'm really into easy these days.  Life is just passing me by way to fast recently.  Hence, this is going to be my only post this week.  I am at a conference for my day J-O-B and will be extremely busy.  Luckily the conference is in town, so at least I get to sleep in my own bed each night.  Yea!  This is the card I created for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge this week. The DSP on the card base is the new Springtime Vintage in the Occasions Mini.   For the Shamrock, I took some VersaMark re-inker and painted it onto a piece of Old Olive CS, sprinkled it with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and heat set it with the SU Heat Tool to create the awesome glittery Shamrock. I made the Shamrock by using the Large Heart Punch to punch the Shamrock leaves out of the glittery CS.  Then I freehand cut the stems for the Shamrock.  After asesembling the Shamrock onto the Very Vanilla and Old Olive CS I pierced a hole in the middle for a large Rhinestone brad.  The Sentiment is from the Afterthoughts Hostess Stamp Set.  Ribbon is Poly Ribbon in Pear Pizzazz. Please take time to joum over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog (link above) and join us this week for the challenge. 

The Springtime Vintage DSP is only available until April 30th, so if you would like to purchase some, please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com.  I'd love to become your SU Demonstrator.

Golden Elements of Style

The base of this card was actually a reject!  I know....can you believe it?  It's so g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s NOW!  There are several steps to making this card ...let me explain:

I took the base (Very Vanilla Textured CS #119951) and drug VersaMark #102283 embossing ink across all 4 edges then dusted with Gold Embossing Powder #109129 and heat set with the Heat Tool #00005.  On the next layer 3 3/4" x 5" I added 3/4" strips of adhesive tape around all 4 edges then added Champagne Fine Galaxy Glitter #114286.  The art layer 3 x 4 1/4 was stamped with the floral image from Elements of Style #120045 (c) in VersaMark, then dusted with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.  I colored the floral image with a blender pen and Blushing Bride #119676, So Saffron #105225, Marina Mist119787, and Pear Pizzazz #119674 ink refills.  Dimension was added to the art piece by lightly adding Baja Breeze #111844 ink refill with a blender pen around the edge of the floral image blending it out towards the edge of the paper.
