I chose to use the Chicken Run set for my card.  I love the rooster silhouette and there are a lot of great sentiments.

The card background was run through an embossing folder and layered on black and the red card base.  A piece of cardstock was covered with Versamark Ink and the new Super Thick Black embossing powder and heated from beneath to create a thick glossy black.  While still hot it was pressed onto the embossing folder, then cut into three strips and added to the card front, lining up with the embossed design.

The sentiment was embossed in White Detail EP on a black oval and popped up on a layer covered with the new Checkers embossing powder.  I love how this mix of colors looks on the card.

The rooster is heat embossed with Black Detail embossing powder and die cut with Spellbinders’ Labels 8.  The Checkers embossing powder was sprinkled on top and heated from the bottom.  This was layered on a slightly larger die cut edged with the new Super Thick Black embossing powder.

I think this new stamp set and these new embossing powders make a great combo.

I hope you have enjoyed this reveal hop.  Your last stop is Eret.  Her project is worth the wait!!

Be a Flamingo

Birds are really in right now and the Jefferson and Wilson Stamp Sets features the latest birds from Sparkle N Sprinkle. I used both of these sets for today’s card but our little flamingo is the star.

The flamingo image was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder on top of a piece of cardstock already heat embossed with the new Rosa Embossing Powder. A copic marker was used to carefully color the beak and legs and the image was fussy cut.

 

The background behind the flamingo was created by masking and repeatedly stamping two of the birds from the Wilson set. This was die cut with Spellbinders’ Wonky Rectangle die and Chocolate Sparkle Embossing Powder added to the edges using the Distressed Embossing Technique. This was layered on green, die cut with a larger Wonky Rectangle. A Versamarker was run around the edges and covered with Rosa EP to create the look of another layer.

The sentiment was embossed with Chocolate Sparkle EP and then Rosa EP was added to the "Flamingo" with a glue pen.  This was layered on green die cut with a tag die and added to a pink layer covered with Rosa EP.

To add a tropical flair, pink flowers and green leaves were die cut with Sue Wilson Designs Perfect Peony Open Petals die set. Sparkle EP was added to the flowers, they were all shaped, and arranged on the card front. Pink jewels were added to the centers.

I hope this card made you smile!
