I put a Spell on You card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

Welcome to my take on the latest Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I had a lot of fun with this one.  I used a thick glitter paper to die cut the sentiment.  It really pops.  It is hard to see but the background black paper is printed with a Halloween black on black design.  I layered that on a glitter mat and finally the black gloss card base.

Here is the sketch.  Obviously, I turned it and did not do a slimline version.

The Ink Road Stamps Full Moon sentiment stamp I used already has the "I put a spell on you" part that I die cut.  So I used masking paper to mask off that part of the sentiment and just use the "and now you're mine" part.  Here is the stamp and masking paper in my MISTI.  I stamped with black pigment ink and embossed in silver.

Here is a side view where you can see a bit of the dimension.

Quick Quotes Spring Pocket Letter and ATC's

Hello, Alicia here today.  I may have gotten carried away playing with the new 2018 PowderPuff Chalking Inks.  I have stenciled, stamped, distressed and colored with latest colors plus a few others.

First I created a pocket letter to send to my sister.  I wanted to feature the Spring Showers paper with it's gorgeous flowers on the woodgrain background.  I tried to accent the papers with various spring die cuts and embellishments while keeping the continuity of the print.

I began my idea for this project with a template I created from a project during last year's Mini Reserve class.  It served it's purpose very well.  My paper piece turned out super.

I still wanted each piece to be a stand alone work as well.  On this piece I just layered die cuts, ribbons and gems while distressing with inks.

As with any good pocket letter, I have enclosed goodies on the back side for my sister to enjoy.

A close up of some more of the pockets, if you are not familiar, ATC's and pocket letters are 2.5"x3.5".  Pocket letters use baseball card holders.

Illustrated below are two of the techniques I used.  The first row of photos use PowderPuff chalking inks to stamp a word.  The next photos show me using a water brush to color the image.

I also made some individual ATC's with scraps.  I played with several stencils on these projects.  I added washi tape, gems, die cuts, layered stickers and sequins.  I inked all the edges with coordinating PowderPuff Chalking Inks.

I used a couple of  different colors of ink on the feather for the first ATC. I started with Key Largo then I inked just the edges with Tropical Punch. On the second, I did a partial background stenciling to add interest and make the layers pop.

Sending Smiles: Camp Create Background Bonanza Challenge

The final challenge for My Favorite Things' Camp Create is to create a background with various tiny stamps.  I used a couple of different sets of stars to create this background.  I first used Distress inks to create a night sky background.  I have been wanting to give it a try for a while.

I am pretty happy with my night sky.  I stamped the stars in Versamark and embossing in silver tinsel.  For the sentiment, I did the same as the last card.  I stamped in Versamark and embossed with Judikins black detail powder.  I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle and layered on black card stock.

Here's the first round of stamps all set up in my MISTI.

After embossing the first round I went back in with some of the simple stars to fill in the background.

Here's the two stamp sets I used.

Ingredients:

Distress inks:  Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch and Broken China

Hero Arts Shoot for the Moon stamps

Avery Elle stamps

Versamark ink

Peacock embossing folder card

Still working with these 11 embossing folders.  On this card, I cut the embossed part out and layered it with pop dots on top of the card base.  I water colored the peacock but since he is on a lavendar card stock the colors are a bit more muted.  I stamped the sentiment in the blank space....with my new MISTI!  I am so excited.  I picked it up on Friday afternoon but only found occasion to use it a few times over the weekend. 

Side view.

Ingredients:

Darice embossing folder

Distress inks: Peacock feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Lucky Clover

Here is my haul from last Friday, I have been broke and haven't been shopping in ages (except for necessities like pop dots and white card stock).  I stopped by Tuesday Morning and only spent $10...nice haul for a 10 spot.

Here is the Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented!!!  I told my son the name and he addresses it like it is my crafty friend MISTI, are you playing with MISTI?  LOL, he can be so funny! I spent $10 more dollars on top of the price of the MISTI and cleaner at my LSS, Stamping Buddies on Galbraith Rd in Cincinnati (if you are from around here). I prepaid for the MISTI on Monday and it was at the store on Friday.  All the MISTI's she ordered were spoken for but with such a great response, she said she will carry them.  I bought a new Lawn Fawn die and some clearance silk glitter paper.

I have a super neat project in the works for a swap with my MISTI, I can't wait to share!

Thanks for stopping by!
