The new SNS Creative Challenges also begins today, with lots of prizes and recognition badges. This month, if you use a Sparkle N Sprinkle
image in your Challenge project, not only will you become a Featured Artist,
but your name will be entered in a separate drawing for 3 Ultra Fine Glitters
and/or Embossing Powders.
I used the new Flamingo Bay set for my card and used one of my favorite color combos, pink and black.
The image was stamped and heat embossed three times (twice with Black Detail embossing powder and once with the new Raspberry Tart embossing powder). I used the Out Of The Box Nesties technique and a Spellbinders’ circle die to cut out the pink image and layered this on top of one of the black images that was cut into three rectangles.
The three flamingos were colored and fussy cut from the third embossed image and added on top of the pink embossed images. Touches of the new Flashy Flamingo embossing powder were added to each using a glue pen.
To create the background for this image I added Flashy Flamingo embossing powder to a piece of white cardstock using the Creating Custom Glitter Paper technique. This was added to a piece of black cardstock, lined with "Tear-ificTape" and Black Ice glitter was added to the remaning exposed adhesive. All was added to a white card base.
I had some lovely pink silk flowers with plastic centers. I used brushable glue to add Diamond Dust glitter to the petals and then dipped the centers in glue and then in the Flashy Flamingo EP. I did not heat set this as it would melt these centers (yes, I did try it).
This is such a lovely scene
with these unique birds, and the two new embossing powders are perfect to use
with it. Check out what my fellow
designers have created using this set or one of the other new sets. Don’t forget to leave comments for a chance
to win one of these sets.
