The Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away Thinlits Dies bundle is so versatile! It has awesome sentiments for these adorable balloons. Birthdays, Graduation, Thinking of You and Thank You are just a few of the cards I see making with this set. Add the Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as I have here, and you have a perfect Valentine card!
Here's the new color challenge at Sunday Stamps! You have until Friday, January 13, 2017, to join us!
To play along with this weeks challenge, choose a minimum of 3 colors that are similar to the color swatch provided in the picture above. The colors I chose to use for this weeks challenge are: Wisteria Wonder, Sweet Sugar Plum, Blushing Bride and a hint of Soft Sky.
To create the background, I sponged the listed ink colors onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and then dropped water droplets on to it using an old tooth brush. To prevent the paper from curling, I quickly dried it with my Heat Tool. Next, I embossed this "rainbow" of color panel using the new SNEAK PEAK Falling Petals Textured Embossing Folder.
Finally, I wanted the embossed petal hearts to really pop, so I brayered a little White craft ink over them making sure not to press too hard.
