Today I’m taking part in the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop and the theme for this month is Make it Sparkle. I usually don’t use a lot of ‘Sparkly” in my cards, so I really enjoyed making this card, something different is always good.
I used Brilliant Wings by Stampin’ Up!® to cut 3 butterflies from the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and to add some extra ‘sparkle’ added splashes of Wink of Stella to the completed card.

Method
Cut and score card Base
Shimmery White cardstock – Using the Blending Brushes colour the cardstock blending the two colours together.
Starting with the lightest of the two colours, Bermuda Bay. Begin at the top left corner working the ink down in a circular motion diagonally from corner to corner going down approx 2/3’s of the way. Keep adding colour until you have the depth you want.
Turn cardstock around 90° and repeat using the Pacific point Stampin’ Pad. Blending the two colours together.
Again turn cardstock around 90° so that the pacific point is at the top.
Place Decorative mask over the cardstock and tape into place with washi tape or something similar, to hold the mask in place.
Lightly go over the masked cardstock with Pacific Point Ink, this will leave a light ink embossed image.
Let this dry completely before stamping
Go over the coloured cardstock with Embossing Buddy or something similar.
Stamp the the filigree image using VersaMark.
Cover with White Embossing Powder, remove excess and heat set.
Adhere the the card front to the Basic White Mat using multi-purpose glue.
Attach to the card front again using multi-purpose glue.
Stamp the sentiment onto the banner using VersaMark, cover with White embossing powder and heat set. Add dimensionals to the back of the banner and adhere to card front.
Card Insert
Using the Blending Brushes, brush on the ink to the stamp…Bermuda bay at the bottom and Pacific point at the top. Always start with the lightest colour. Give the stamp a good puff over it to moisten the ink and stamp the image in the bottom right corner.
Using multi-purpose glue adhere the insert to the Bermuda Bay Mat and then adhere the matted insert into the inside of the card.

To all you lovely people out there that Voted for me a ‘BIG….. THANK YOU’. Because of you and your Votes, today I am taking part in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Winners Hop.
Daisy Garden
Daisy Garden by Stampin’ Up! ® is a beautiful large image of daisies…it can be used as a back ground or as a focal point on your card. There is so much detail to this stamp but is very easy to colour using Stanpin’ Blends, Watercolour Pencils or any other colouring technique.
For this card I used the Stampin’ Blends to colour my image, I love colouring with my Blends because of how well they blend and how simple they are to use. The colours I used are – Old Olive Dark & Light, Balmy Blue Dark & Light, Misty Moonlight Light, Daffodil Delight Light, Mango Melody Dark(Deleated), Bronze.
Tips when using Stampin’ Blends
Use good quality smooth cardstock and the Basic White cardstock is my choice.
Only use water base inks to stamp your image – Memento Tuxedo Black is perfect.
Start with the light colour & then add your shading in the dark. After adding your dark colour go over it again with the light shade to blend the 2 colours. My daisies were coloured with the Light Balmy Blue, shading added with the dark Balmy Blue to about half the length of the petal. Misty Moonlight Light was added at the base of the petal then Light Balmy Blue added over the top of all colours to blend them together.
Always work in small areas at a time. The ink will blend better when the ink is still wet and dries very quickly. I worked on one flower head at a time.

Today I have created another card using the Floating Strip Technique and used products by Stampin’ up! ®. This is a fun way to use up all those stripes we usually get thrown into the scrap bin.
You can cut your Window Sheet into any size or shape you want, just keep your shape simple simple e.g. square, rectangle, circle etc. The card I made for ‘Let Your Colours Shine’ I cut after gluing the strips onto the window sheet using Stitched Rectangle Dies, this was because I didn’t know what shape or size I was going to use at the time..LOL!
Below you will find my Facebook Live video showing how I made this card and the measurements used.

The Theme for this month is ‘Let your Colours Shine’.
This years new Stampin’ Up! ® In-Colours are beautiful and I love working with them. They work really well together as well as independently. For this card I have used a ‘Floating Strips Technique’ by cutting the 2021-23 In-Colours in strips. The strips were cut at angles and adhered to Window sheet and then die cut using the Stitched rectangle Dies.
How to Make this Card…..
Card Base Basic Black – 10.5 x 29.9cm, scored 14.9xm
Card Mat Basic Black – 10 x 14.4cm, Embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3d Embossing Folder. Attach to the Card Base using Multi-Purpose Glue or Seal.
Circle Gold Metallic Specialty Paper – 10 x 10cm, cut with the largest circle die. Attach to the card front – it is not centered, placed slightly to the right of the card.
Window sheet – 10 x 14cm
Floating Strips of In-Colour Designer Series Paper – strips cut at different angles and at different sizes (width) adhered to the window sheet using Multi purpose Glue. Cut out two different size rectangles using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Adhere the Foam Adhesive Strips on the back of the window sheet, hidden by the In-Colour DSP. Peel of the backing strips on Foam Strips and adhere to the card, one up & one down.
Butterfly Basic White – 11 x 9cm. Place Adhesive sheet to the back of the Basic White and die cut the larges Butterflies die from the Brilliant Wings Dies. Peel of the backing and adhere to the card on top of the Floating Strips. Double up two Mini Dimensionals and place under each of the bottom part of the butterfly wings.
Scrap Basic Black – 4 x7cm, Stamp the sentiment using VersaMark and heat emboss with white embossing Powder. Glue on to the butterfly using Multi-purpose Glue, this will also help to hide the dimensionals under the butterfly
Add some of the In-colour Jewels to the card Front.
Insert Basic White – stamp the coordinating sentiment in the right hand corner using Polished Pink Stampin’ Pad.
