Hello Ink Resist

The new Stampin Up catalog is full of new ideas.  If you don't have a copy take a look HERE  to see all the new goodies.
On this card I've used  a new set called My Friend, and En Francais BG.  Stamped the leaves with VersaMark pad and added clear embossing powder and heat set.  Stamped En Francais with a new in color calypso coral (2nd generation) over the embossed leaves.  I inked over the front with all new in colors, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, & Island Indigo, then stamped Hello with Island Indigo.  I love the look of embossed resist.  The card is made with Island Indigo cardstock.
If you live in the Fort McMurray area and would like to learn some of these techniques, I'd love to have you attend one of my classes.  Please contact me thru my email or phone #.
Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think.

Best Wishes First Edition

This card is basically the same layout as the one posted Here but on this card I used the First Edition DSP in the Occasions mini.  Did some more of the distressing technique......added the Vanilla Smooch spritz on the Fun flower die flower.  Stamped the En Francais on the Vanilla cardstock and used the early espresso marker in the Color  Spritzer Tool for more distressing.

To purchase the items used please check out my Stampin Up Website Here.

Fun Flowers Best Wishes

Spring is in the "Air"....at least the temps are in the minus single digits during the day.
I can hardly wait to get out working in my yard and play in my flower beds.  But for now I'll have to play with paper flowers...lol!
Not much stampin on this card but I love the vintage look and all the playing you can do on this style of card.
Stamped the En Francais with the C.Cake ink on the V.Vanilla textured cs.  Used the color spritzer to add some splatters on the flower, sentiment and V.Vanilla card.  On the flower I sprayed the Vanilla Shimmer spritz after inking the edges.  The Swirly Sizzlit strip addssome dimension to cards that I really like, without making it look busy.
