You are Totally Fabulous

By on January 30, 2017 in Paper Crafting

The Ellen Hutson January Pinsights challenge (here) inspired me to make this card.

I loved the black and gold and turquoise colors from the inspiration board and it translated into this card:

totally-fabulous

I first die cut the sentiment out of gold glitter paper. Then I adhered that to a black strip of paper. I stamped the flowers and leaves in black pigment ink, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I used Peacock Feathers distress ink on the top portion of the card.

I hope you like it!

Beautiful

The current Ellen Hutson Mix It Up Challenge is with Concord & 9th! I am loving both these companies lately…and I have a few of their sets. So today I thought I’d see what I could come up with for this challenge.

I used the Beautiful die from Concord and 9th and the Bold Blooms stamp set from Essentials by Ellen.

I was also inspired by Jennifer McGuire to try heat embossing on water droplets!

Yeah, it’s a little crazy and organic, but I think it’s beautiful. Oh, I also silver embossed the sentiment about 3 times to get more dimension. It looks like a nice metal embellishment!
