This week we are welcoming the super talented Wendy aka Dabble (Kinda) Doday into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!
I made a card using a new Damask Background Cling Stamp. I have used this stamp a few times already and I am absolutely in love with it, so versatile and so pretty! This time I inked the stamp with a clear embossing ink pad and then embossed with Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder. You have to be very careful not to over heat as this will dry out all of the stickyness, I then smothered with Prisma Glitter, ooh this so super sparkly, and reflects the light so prettily, in real life ;-)
I also used a new Always and Forever Clear Stamp Set from the latest Simon Says Stamp You Are Loved Release . I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut them out, the coordinating dies are on their way and should be around mid-Atlantic by now ;-)
I used White Embossing Powder and it wasn't until later that I thought that I should have used Glow In The Dark Powder!! I will have to make another one now! ;-)
I used a paper distresser to roughen up the edges and chopped up the sentiment to grunge it up a bit too ;-)
I finished the inside, I love this setiment, it may not be how other people would use it, but I think its cute like this ;-)
edited to add: I just went to add my link into the 'You Are Loved Gallery' on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and saw THIS CARD by the lovely Ilda Dias, which is very similar, a more daylight version, of mine :-)
Thanks for looking!
