If you follow me even the slightest you'll know I love sentiment quote stamps and this set contains a few to make my heart sing.
Card number one has a watercoloured acryllic block background with a little added Uniko twinkle.
I'm smitten with the large curly font of the word star - so pretty! I used one of the largest stars from this set, and a good coating of Wink of Stella to make it very sparkly in real life.
Since the star is a silhouette I'm popping this card into the CAS Watercolour Card Challenge.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Reach For The Stars
Inks: Ranger distress, picked raspberry, peacock feathers, blueprint sketch, wilted violet
Embellishments: sequins from my satah; Wink of Stella, clear
My next card makes use of both heat embossing and masking techniques. And some of my favourite colours too.
I started by stamping and heat embossing using sparkling snow embossing powder - can't have too much twinkle in my opinion!
I then masked off a strip across the width of the card and used distress oxides to blend the colours over all the stamping. A few flicks of water and the magic happened!
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Reach For The Stars
Inks: Ranger distress oxide, faded jeans, wilted violet, worn lipstick; Versamark, clear
Embossing: WOW!, sparkling snow
My final card was made with the colours from Less is More in mind and it's super quick and very easy to create.
I simply stamped, added a brush of background ink, a Wink of Stella glisten and a narrow strip of card and called it a day.
Stamps: Uniko, Reach For The Stars
Inks: SU, lemon lime twist; Memento, danube blue
