Black Ice with Amazing You

 I have been playing with the Black Ice technique lately and decided to try it with out using Foil paper.  Now unfortunately the Amazing You set was a celebration set and is no longer available, but I still have been playing with it.  It would be nice to see it carry over into the new catalog.

I took a piece of Basic Gray card stock and drug the Basic Black across it to make the streaks just like with the Foil paper.  Remember to keep it at an angel. Then stamped the flower with Basic Black and colored with Night of Navy Stampin' Blends and stamped the phrase with Basic Black.

Now you drag Versa mark across (at an angel) and emboss with clear embossing powder.  Cut into 3 pieces and attach to a piece of Whisper White.  Add ribbon and attach to Night of Navy and then to Basic Gray.

Here is a link to the Original Black Ice, you will also find a link to Melissa Kerman who has a great video on how to do this technique.

I also rescheduled the Spring/Birthday Card Class to March 31st @ 11:00. Check out the detail here.  This is the last day of Sale-a-Bration, so it would be a great time to get all those free items.

Now on today's project.

I wanted to use the new Springtime Foils DSP (free with $50.00 purchase before S&T).  I am going to show you 4 different backgrounds I created with this beautiful DSP.

This one I spritzed the background with Pacific Point Spritzer.  What is spritzer you ask.  I take 20-30 drops of re-inker and put it in a spray bottle and a little spoon full of Pearl-X.  If you have a little too much pooling going on, you can dab with a paper towel.

Stamp phrase in Pacific Point punch both layers with Triple Banner Punch.  Die the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon with the same Spritzer.  Add bling and assemble!

This next one I used the Basic Grey Ink.

For this all you need to do is drag the ink pad from top to bottom until you get the desired effect you are looking for.  I then buffed over the top to remove the ink from the embossed areas.

Die cut & punch the pieces out of the Basic Black before layering everything up.  Stamp the phrase in Basic Gray and Punch.  Add Bling and assemble!  This one would make a great man b-day card.

Next, I used a sponge with Lemon Lime Twist!

Doesn't this just jump out and say SPRING!

Now do you see those little sprigs of ribbon behind the die cut words.  I had a little piece of ribbon left over and decided to pull it apart.  I took those pieces and just attached them to the back.  Colored the pearl with the Old Olive Light Stampin Blends.  I thought it went with the Lemon Lime Twist!

Last one I of course had to use the Brusho.  I used the Blue and Yellow.  Love this effect!  Sprinkle the Brucho on and spritz with water.  If you get too much pooling going on, just use a paper towel to soak it up.  You can set it aside to dry or dry with a heat gun.

Die Cut the Celebrate and stamp with Basic Black and Whala!

I added Wink of Stella to the Celebrate and attached the Metallic Thread on the back!

Now I only used the one background but this paper comes with 4 different backgrounds.  So much potential with this paper.

Painted with Love DSP (my own version)

Hello Crafters,

Today I wanted to share my own version of Painted with Love Dsp.  A few weeks ago I saw a post on facebook from Kim Jolly @ Stampin Artfully and she had designed her own version of Painted with Love DSP.  I decided to give it a try at my Down line meeting.

Now I'm not sure how she did her's, but this is what I came up with.  I used the basic stamps from the Waterfront set and randomly stamped a couple rows, then blended with an Aqua Painter.  I used Soft Sky, Pool Party, Marina Mist & Island Indigo.

On this one I also spritzed a little Peekaboo Peach on the background.  When you are satisfied with your background,dry with your heat gun.  Now you can take the same stamps and stamp randomly with Versa Mark and emboss with Silver Embossing Powder.

Stamped words with Basic Black Ink.

As you can see each one turns out a little different.  I had actually cut this one in four pieces, but ended up adding ribbon so you can't see the other cut. I also spritzed this one with the Peekaboo Spritzer.

I tried both watercolor paper and Shimmery Paper.  You don't really notice that much of a difference between the two, except for the shimmery background.

Thanks Kim for the idea!  Hope you all give this try.  Just another way to make your own background paper.

I also wanted to share the new Sale-a-Bration items available until March 31st 2018.
