Hi there....so happy to see you back! Did you enjoy all of the festivities over on the Power Poppy blog yesterday? That Marcella really knows how to celebrate Spring, doesn't she? :) Now try to contain yourself with what I am about to tell you.....today's release is showcasing two new stamp sets! I know! Two in one day....pretty awesome, right?! For my card today, I chose to use the new stamp set, Burst of Kindness.
I started by stamping my image with Memento's Tuxedo black ink, die cutting my image out then stamping my sentiment with Versafine's Onyx Black ink. After using a ton of Copics to color my image, I added some gold leafing to the edges with my Krylon 18KT Gold Leafing pen and some shimmer with my Wink of Stella clear brush pen then set the panel aside. I die cut a panel of blue card stock, stitched some patterned paper to it, layered my colored image panel with a scalloped die cut of white card stock and adhered it to my stitched panel. I used foam tape to add some dimension. Lastly, I adhered the assembled panels to a card base. This card measures 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".
Do you ever wonder how on earth Marcella packs all of that glorious detail in to each of her images? Yeah....me too...all the time. :)
And here is one last lookie at that lovely image and the super sweet sentiment. She really was so much fun to color up and I know you will enjoy it too! :)
So that is all for my card today, but you know my incredibly talented Bloomie sisters are bringing it, B-I-G TIME...so make sure you check out all of the floral goodness, leave a little blog love while you are there, then make plans to join us again for Day 3 of Power Poppy's Spring Fling stamp release. Yay! So looking forward to seeing you again soon...until then, take care! :)
