Here is my phrase clue for the GRAND PRIZE: STAMPS

The Blog Stroll continues at Sherry’s Blog

My card today starts with the newly released Flower Silhouettes set and the Flourish and screen backgrounds that were released last week.  I love how the flourish background goes with the new stamp set!  The technique is Faux Bleach using White Simply Smooth Prism cardstock.  The background was stamped in Distress Embossing Ink and embossed with clear powder.  Next comes the Alcohol inks from the new Country side collection.  The colors in the set include Shell Pink, Willow and Cloudy Blue.  To reveal the embossed image, place a sheet of copy paper over the top of the layer and iron off the embossing powder.  (you will see it melt into the copy paper)  The flourish from Flower Silhouettes was stamped in the corners using Distress Walnut Stain.  The layer was sewn on to Prism Baby Pink Medium and then Spring Willow Medium.  The layers of ribbon sewn on the faux bleach layer are both May Arts – 1” lt. blue woven edge satin & 5/8” variegated organdy.  My little tags measure 1” x 2” and were inked up with the rock n roll technique and the screen background was stamped over the top.  The words are all one long stamp.  I sewed the tags onto a layer of Prism Baby Blue Medium, trimmed and then layered on the Baby Pink Medium.  I accordian folded the tag and mounted it on foam dimensional tape for a little dimension.  The center tag sports more May Arts ribbon including a variegated green fiber and 1/2” Blue/Brown dotted organdy.  Lastly, the beautiful buttons are SEI from the Poppy collection.  The pink ones were smooshed into my Distress Worn Lipstick pad and air dried.  I sanded the edges of some of the buttons for a worn look.  They are sewn to the card using Linen Thread.

Now for the card: Images are all available from Rubbernecker Stamp Co. I used a Pearlized Distress mist to create the acrylic resist. Colors include, Tea Dye ink/blush perfect pearls, Red Brick ink/red perfect pearls & Scattered Straw ink/bronze perfect pearls. After stamping the angel boy, I lightly highlighted him with copic markers and some Sakura Stardust gel pen. The wings are Tim Holtz grungeboard that was painted with Frayed Burlap crackle paint. They were sponged with tea dye distress ink and black soot. Clock faces, brads and the dymo label were added to finish it off. Hope you like it as much as I do!

My 2nd card is for CC180, the color challenge at Splitcoast today. Yummy colors - Blush, Ruby, Cocoa. I only used Blush and Cocoa CS. The red layer is actually cocoa CS that was embossed with the baroque background (a fave of mine) using Tattered Rose Distress EP. The red tone comes from the Pearlized Shimmer Distress mist made by combining a dropper full of Fired Brick Distress Reinker, a little Red Perfect Pearls and water. The Blush layer was inked with Tattered Rose Distress ink, rock n rolled in Fired Brick, misted with water and stamped. I sponged the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink and also stamped the sentiment with it. The photo corners are from Spellbinders Hdw. & Hinges Shapeabilities set.
