Today I have a card I made using 3 products from the Happy and Joyful release. First, I used the 4 stencil grouping called the Layered Flowers Stencil. Next, I got out my Glimmer Hot Foil Machine and used the new Sketched Leaf Branches. Then I used a sentiment from the new CZ XL Stacked Greetings stamp set. Here are images of the stencils and hot foil plates:
And here is my card:
First, I made the background with the Layered Flowers Stencil set. I used several colors of Pawsitively Saturated Inks and the SSS small brushes. I used Lemonade, Pearfection, Surf, Tropic and Carnation. I only used one color of ink for each area instead of shading. I kept it simple! I love how these multiple stencils work layered over each other. It is so fun to do and SO EASY!!! I attached this piece to a teal card base for the background.
Next, I foiled the two branches from the Sketched Leaf Branches Hot Foil Plate using my Glimmer Hot Foil System and Viridian Green Foil. I love this color as it is perfect for leaves! They come with matching dies so I die-cut them out and then colored them in with Copic Markers to match the cardstock color.
I embossed a sentiment using the CZ XL Stacked Greetings Stamp Set. I cut the bottom portion of one off for this sentiment. I used white embossing powder on a banner cut from the SSS Label Dies. I layered it over a pink banner the same size and used foam tape beneath it. I attached the two branches coming out of the sentiment with foam tape behind them as well so they would stand out against the busy background. I used some PPP Jewels in the center of some of the flowers.
This card was so fun to make. It is sitting on my desk and it makes me happy with all those bright spring colors! If you haven't started "glimmering" yet, I highly advise it! I just got my system for Christmas and I love doing it! SSS is coming out with so many cool foil plates, so I'm glad I finally got on the foiling band wagon! Thanks for visiting today! xoxoxox suzy
