Springtime Foil Smear

I will be sad to see Sale-A-Bration end on March 31st.  Especially because the Sale-A-Bration Springtime Foil card stock is AMAZING and so pretty.  It is white with silver, gold, or rose gold on each of the patterns.  The cool thing about it, it has a sheen to it so coloring the background is a breeze.  On this card, I simply smeared the ink pad directly onto the cardstock (I used night of navy), and rubbed off (going in one direction for better look),  The color stays in a lighter shade and the gold/silver pops through.  Sort of like emboss resist.

The real life finished product is so much prettier than the picture could ever show.  The bird from the Petal Palette stamp set is embossed in gold, and the outside border is flanked in gold foil.

My Stampin' Up! project supply list is below.  Interested in an item (or two or three)?  Just click the links below and order online.  And if you spend $50 you can get the Springtime Foils FREE.

Brusho Petal Palette

Brusho Crystal Color is such a fun new product to work with.  It is watercolor ink crystals that mix with water to make watercolor washes and designs. In this example, I sprinkled yellow and gamboge directly onto water-washed watercolor paper and watched the colors burst.  I then stamped the big flower from the Petal Palette stamp set with black archival ink.  After that I colored the leaves with an old olive marker.  A couple of glitter enamel dots complete the look.

FREE Birthday Card

This sentiment is so fitting for this card paired with the Picture Perfect Paper donuts.  That paper is so versatile.  Thanks to one of my newest downline, Cheryl (aka Girl and a Glue Stick) for creating this card. The color is Lemon Lime Twist with an added textured layer using the simple stripes embossing folder.  Actually pretty simple to make. I cut out 1/2 inch strips from lemon lime twist, berry burst, fresh fig, and dapper denim, then stamped each one with the appropriate FREE statement, and cut them out and used Stampin' Dimensionals for added interest.
