Shimmering Bliss Sprays With Embossing

Today was a day to play and get messy.  I decided to have some fun with my Shimmering Bliss sprays from Technique Junkies.  

I started with some watercolor paper, and sprayed some Shimmering Bliss on it.  I use a large, shallow box when I do this, to contain the spray excess.  I sprayed another color while the first was still wet.  I used a lot, and let it drip down the card.  

I dried that with my heat tool, then added another color, and let that drip.  I kept adding more colors, until I was happy with the look I got. 

I really LOVE the way this stuff just shimmers.  Each way you turn the card reveals different areas of color with their own sparkle and shimmer.  Fascinating!  And oh so fun to play with!  

I let this dry (ok...I was impatient, and used my heat tool to hurry it along), then embossed the butterfly and the verse with black.  A little layering, and that was that.

I used these Technique Junkies stamps:
Modern Encouragements Set of 4 (You are amazing)
Something Different (butterfly)

I hope you are enjoying the stamps from the January release.  The Modern Encouragements Set of 4 is one of my personal favorites from this release.  It has unique phrases, with fabulous fonts, for bold statements!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I enjoy your visits and comments.

Blessings,

Small Steps

Stamps:  Stack of Books
              Modern Encouragements
              French Text

I stamped the books onto watercolor paper and watercolored, using Arteza Real brush markers and a waterbrush.  I added the French Test, then stamped the verse from the Modern Encouragements set.  Layered all onto an A2 card front.

Who and What

Stamps:  Birthday Queen 
              Who And What 

I stamped the Birthday Queen cat onto white card stock, and colored with Polychromos colored pencils.  I fussy-cut it, cutting off the crown, and added it to a gray die cut, which I layered onto a mauve scrap, then onto a gray A2 card.  I added a rectangle frame from the same mauve to frame the kitty.

I stamped the verse with VersaFine Clair Nocturne.

Sending Caring Thoughts

 Stamps:  Difficult Time Set of 2
               Vintage Lighthouse

I stamped the lighthouse onto white card stock, and used Faber Castell soft pastels with a cotton swab and cotton balls to color the sky, then added some colored pencil, and used colored pencil on the lighthouse.

I added this to a green A2 card front.  I added the verse on a white scrap with foam tape for dimension.

Those are my cards for today.  Be sure to check out the other designer's fabulous cards.  Links are listed below:
