Simple Background w/ Vellum Highlight

July 31, 2015

Happy August 1st! Today I am sharing a project for a special occasion. You all know that I am a huge fan of Inspired By Stamping products. Joanna, the owner of IBS is going through some tough time at the moment and the girls from IBS Design Teams wanted to cheer her up with a surprised blog hop!

Joanna, I hope this blog hop reminds you that you are a wonderful person and everything will work out for the best!! I am here for you, you know where you find me! You are a strong person with full of love for others. xoxo

One of my most favorite stamp sets EVER from IBS is this Watercolor Sentiment Stamp Set. And I thought this stamp set is perfect for this blog hop, hoping this card will encourage not only Joanna but all those who are struggle at the moment.

I stamped the sentiment from the set using tone-to-tone stamping technique and created a background on a card base. Tone-to-tone can be easily achieved by stamping the image with a same color as a cardstock. If you do not have coordinating ink pads and cardstock, use Versamark ink pad to create the same look.

For the focal point, I used a piece of vellum and embossed the same sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and Clear Embossing Powder. I also added few of Sparkling Clear sequins as well. I used Kooltak clear foam tape for the vellum, you can still see them a bit, but I think it’s okay.

Hope you enjoyed my project! To check out other projects for the hop, please visit Inspired By Stamping Blog and leave some love for other amazing team members!!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season πŸ’• sending hugs and loves to your way ❀️❀️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view πŸ₯°πŸ₯° New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now πŸ’•

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. πŸ˜… Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! πŸ‘πŸ» While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy πŸ₯°πŸ₯° Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- πŸ’•πŸ’• I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not πŸ˜‚) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope πŸ™πŸ» I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead πŸ’™

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
