Victorine Originals ~ It's your Special Day

Good Morning Dreamerz,

Today is my day to post on the Victorine Originals Blog. In keeping with the "Pearls and Lace" theme I chose to use Woman in Dress for my inspiration today.

Card Recipe:

Stenciled hearts in various pinks on Neenah 80lb card stock then die cut using Wonky Stitches die. Woman in Dress was stamped using Lawn Fawn jet black ink over the stenciled hearts. the sentiment is from my stash and was heat embossed using a pretty pink embossing powder and affixed to front of card. Tiny pearl embellishments added to anchor sentiment.

Sasayaki Glitter ~ New Release ~ Beach Frog

Good Evening Dreamers

WOW did you guys notice this is an evening post? Not the norm for me but I have some fun news. This post is my first official post as part of the Design Team for Sasayaki Glitter. My first project is for the new release and I used Image #102 - Beach Frog

Card Recipe

I uploaded the digital stamp into Craft Artist and sized it to just smaller than a portrait A2 sized card and printed it onto Copic X-Press It cardstock. Image was colored in using various Copic, Pencil, and Distress Oxide inks. Background was sponged on with a light hand and a stencil for the sky and just barely kissing the paper with the sponge dauber for the sand. Glossy Accents added to glasses, polka dots, and starfish.

Victorine Originals ~ Challenge #11 ~ Pearls and Lace

Good Morning Dreamerz,

Today is the start of Challenge #11 on the Victorine Originals Blog. The theme for this challenge is: "PEARLS AND LACE". Here's my inspiration for you using:
Wedding Couple Silhouette

Card Recipe:

I used a MISTI stamping tool to complete this project. I first created my background using a piece of silver foiled paper from my stash cut down to A2 size, then I used Distress inks and a blending tool to color in the non foiled parts of the paper. I had a nice sentiment from my stash that I stamped in black ink for this layer. For the wedding couple I started with a scalloped edge die cut piece of vellum and stamped the couple with versamark embossing ink and applied Altenew Golden Peach embossing powder and heat set with my heat gun. Assembly was fairly easy yet tricky. I glued the foiled layer to my card base, then I applied tiny double sided micro glue dots to the backside of the velum embossed couple (Tip: If you apply your adhesive to the reverse side of velum try to pick an embossed part of the image so the adhesive does not show) I laid the vellum layer on the top of the distress foiled layer and used a strip of adhesive lace from my stash to hold it in place. Lastly I used a tiny bit of bling to highlight the sentiment that is visible under the vellum.

Soccer Ball Slider Birthday ~ Victorine Originals

Good Morning Dreamerz,

Today is my day to post on the Victorine Originals Blog. Here's my inspiration for you using: Soccer Ball (1440-B)

Card Recipe:

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb used for all paper except black heavyweight cardstock from my stash used to create silhouette of soccer play that was cut using my Cricut Explore Air. I stamped the soccer ball using Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink, fussy cut the soccer ball and applied versamark embossing ink over the whole ball. I applied WOW clear embossing powder and heat set using my heat gun. I repeated this process a couple times so that my ball has a very glossy look to it and to make it even stiffer. I then went about creating the background. I took the Lawn Fawn grassy border die and die cut a scratch piece of paper to use as my stencil/mask. Using various colors of green distress inks I blended the grass as shown. For the sky I used various blue distress inks and my blending tool to achieve the look. To create the slider channel I used the My Favorite Things DIE Namics Surf & Turf dies.
