Let the party begin! Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire is here and the design team will be participating along with you! It's been so fun preparing projects to share. First up, is the exclusive Stamp-a-faire set called Fashion Sense. Here are the details regarding how you can earn this sassy little number!
Fashion Sense will ONLY be available on Stamp-a-faire day to all customers who make a qualifying $100 purchase. All orders made between 7am EST and 11:30pm EST on Stamp-a-faire Day (August 29, 2015) that total $100 (before shipping) will receive the set for FREE!
I began this first card by stamping my focal point on a die cut Monthly Moments: Journal Card 2 using watermark ink. I then heat embossed the image using gold embossing powder. Next, I added a bit of pink using my Gelatos and a water brush. I wanted to create a double layer, so I created the top layer of my dress using vellum, gold embossing powder, and finishing with white glitter. I then just cut out my dress image and adhered it directly over the first, off-setting the dress just slightly.
I stamped my flowers using Hibiscus Burst and Autumnn Rose, with my leaves stamped in Simply Chartreuse. I matted my Journal Card 2 over two die-cut Monthly Moments: Journal Card 1 dies, off-setting them to create a unique frame. I tucked a die cut Tremendous Tag, cut from Sheer Basics Vellum, just under my Journal Card 2 near the top.
My next card uses Gelatos and some fun smudging to add color to my dresses. After stamping them in Smokey Shadow, I blended in pinks, peaches, aquas, and yellows, and then added flowers and other images from the Fashion Sense set to add a little pattern.
This was such a fun card to create :). I stamped my sentiment on a die cut Tremendous Tag using Aqua Mist.
And lastly, I added a few Lavender Moon, Aqua Mist, Spring Moss, and Harvest Gold felt flowers, cut using the Be Happy die.
