Hello Blogging Friends,
Today is the start of the Joy Clair New Release and Blog Hop.
You should have arrived here from Jessica Pascarella's blog.
If you should get lost along the way you can always go back to the Joy Clair Blog to start over.
Joy Clair is releasing 4 new stamp sets for February: Be Brave, Prayer Warrior, Wild and Free and Aztec Borders.
For my project I choose the Aztec Borders stamp set and a sentiment from the Be Brave stamp set:
and
Here is my card:
Ingredients:
Black ink
Versa mark
Blackened Bronze embossing powder
Abandoned Coral distress ink
Cracked Pistachio distress ink
For this A2 card I started with Kraft card stock for the base of the card. I took a piece of water color paper and placed it in my Misti and stamped one of the borders from the Aztec Borders stamp set on the left and right side and then I took one of the other borders and stamped it on the top and bottom of the paper with black ink. I then took the sentiment from the Be Brave stamp set and stamped it with Versa mark and then heat embossed it with Blackened Bronze and then I moved the sentiment up just a tiny bit to give it a shadow effect and stamped it again with Versa mark and heat embossed it with the Blackened Bronze. I took Abandoned Coral and Cracked Pistachio distress inks and my blender tool and rubbed them over the paper. When it was all dry I attached it to the Kraft card base. So do you like the shadow effect?
Please be sure to check out all the wonderful creations the Joy Clair Design Team have made.
