I created this card about a year ago for a submission. I am kind of glad that it didn’t get picked so I have something to share with you today. Sorry I have been so quiet lately. With the long labor day weekend followed by another bout of migraines (we had a rain front moving through), I didn’t get much stamping done lately!

For this card I printed out Tiddly Inks Toasting Properly on Neenah Classic White cardstock. The image was cut and embossed with a Grand Rectangle die and colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, BV00 Hair: Y26, E35, E37, E47 Dress: V04, V05, V06, V17, V09 Crown: Y13, Y15, Y17, W3 Bottle: YR21, YR23, YR23, W3, YG01, YG03, W3 Ground: W3, W5, W7, W10 Background: BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV01 Background spots: BV000, BV00, BV01, YR21, YG03) . The image was adhered to a piece of black cardstock, cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Rectangle Nestabilities die and the edges were paper pierced. Some dots were added with Stardust Stickles around the girl to make the background sparkle.

A 3″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Phantom Pink Paislee patterned paper was adhered to a 4 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the same paper pack. The bottom corners were rounded and a border was stitched around the edge. White organdy Ribbon was colored with Copic Marker V06, tied around the horizontal strip and topped with a black button, tied on with Silver Curling Ribbon.

A sentiment from Whimsy’s Friendship ticket sentiments was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with Spellbinders retired Five in one Tag die. The embossed part was colored with the markers I used for the image background. The sentiment was tied to the bow with the same curling ribbon that was used for tying on the button.

The layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 3/4″ x 11″ piece of white cardstock folded in half. Parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl were adhered above and underneath the the bow and three Baby Bling Rhinestones on the lower left corner finish off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hello and welcome to Day 5 of our August Rubber & Die Release Showcase!

Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw.

For my sample I stamped the darling new Wee Image Summer Fairy in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink once on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was colored with Copic Markers (Hair: Y23, E97, E99 Skin: E0000, E00, E01 Wings: YG0000, YG11, BG10, BG11, BG13 Dress: YG01, YG03, YG17 Shoes: C00, C1, C3 Ground: YG01, YG03, YG17, E33, W3) and cut and embossed with the smallest Grand Decorative Oval Nestabilities die. The image was masked, the die placed back over the cardstock and the open space was sponged first with Tumbled Glass, then with Broken China Distress Ink.

I kept the rest of the card pretty simple. It’s such a cute image, it didn’t need much. Two pieces of Pink Paislee Spring Jubilee Patterned Paper were cut to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer. The two bottom corners were rounded, the edges sanded and stitched. May Arts ribbon was tied around the layers before the image layer was adhered over it with dimensional adhesive.

Letters from the new Spell It Out set were stamped on white cardstock, cut out and adhered to the left side of the image oval for a sentiment. Part of a silver Finesse Rhinestone Swirl and a piece of Fancy That! Border Bling on the top right finish off the card.
