You are beautiful

Hello there, 

Today I have a fun card for you, so grab a cuppa 'cause there's lots of details!


I started with the background. I used the My favorite things Roses background, my Misti, 4 watercolor markers and a water spritzer. After placing the stamp in my Misti I scribbled the markers on the stamp, making sure I colored the whole thing and trying not to overlap. I wanted pink and blue, not purple. I then spritzed a couple of times with my water spritzer and closed the Misti door. I let the stamp sit for a few seconds before removing it. I set the background aside to let it dry.


On Neenah cardstock I printed this cute "She is charming" digital image from The Paper Shelter. I also printed a mirrored image. I colored the images with Copics as alike as possible. The original image was fuzzy cut. The other was die cut with the second smallest MFT linked chain circle. I felt the circle frame could easily be a mirror frame.


After die cutting the mirror image, I covered it with a thin layer of Ranger glossy transparant texture paste. I wanted to make it resemble the glassy surface of a mirror. I set it aside to dry.


The "mirror frame" was stamped with WOW! embossing ink and covered with WOW! Opaque pastel pink embossing powder. I repeated this step 2 more times for dimension. I then again stamped with the embossing ink and sporadically sprinkled WOW! Metallic platnum powder and heat set it. I repeated this step but sprinkled with WOW! Pink sherbet powder, which is pastel pink with a little bit of glitter. I think this all gives the frame a cool vintage look. I then die cut the linked chain circle frame 3 more times and adhered one on top of the other.
Note the glossy mirrored image.


I stamped a sentiment from the MFT All about you and die cut the YOU from the MFT Miss you die-namics 4 times. The top layer is embossed with 2 layers of WOW! Black magic - How gorgeous is this powder?!
The sparkle on the dress, shoes and headband are Spectrum noir clear sparkle.


To "ground" the beautiful girl I used the Avery Elle Bookmark elle-ments and cut some Doodlebug paper. I cut the bookmark shorter to fit it to the card. To do this I first die cut the whole bookmark. Then slide the die over the cardstock circa where I want to cut, until the little knobs fit into the indentations. Remember to place your top plate so you only cut the wanted part. I wiped the embossing ink pad along the edges of the bookmark and covered it with WOW! Black magic. I also added a hot pink ribbon and some silver twine.
I popped up the girl with craft foam and placed her directly across from the mirrored image.

Copics used:
Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000, R32, RV13
Hair: E21, E23, E25
Puff: R32, R20, R00
Outfit: BG07, BG57, BG53, BG000, RV04, RV02, RV00

Watercolor brush markers: Arteza 117, 138, 149 and Panduro hot pink

I hope I have inspired you!
Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting.
And remember - You are beautiful!

    Amazing detail! I didn't even notice the high shine on the mirror. I have some glossy texture paste, but I have only used it with inks, so I hadn't thought of using it in this application. Is it as shiny as Glossy Accents? My issue with GA has always been that it can tend to yellow over time, and the clear Nuvo drops crack if applied to such a large area, so I've always ended up using a few coats of clear embossing in High. This would be so much easier! Please let me know when you get time. Thanks!

      Hi dear Enna, the texture paste is nowhere near as glossy as GA. I applied a really thin coat and you can really only see it when the light falls at an angle. I've never noticed that GA would turn yellow, nor that Nuvo drops crack. My isse with Nuvo drops is that they flatten if I leave even a peace of paper on them. Unless they dry for a REALLY long time! I use them because they're pretty and most of my cards are given, not sent. Have you tried Nuvo glaze? It's really close to GA but slightly thinner. I feel it's harder to apply to say word cuts, but it pretty much looks the same. Thanks for stopping by, hugs XO

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-brugere, uanset hvor meget eller hvor

Masculine birthday card

Hey everyone, Today I'm sharing a masculine card. It seems to be something a lot of us strugle with, but since I had my oxide inks out (see post from yesterday) I ink blended one more panel using Faded jeans, Broken China and Cracked Pistacio. I just love this combo. I placed the panel in my Misti and prepped it with my antistatic powder tool before stamping the Simon Says Stamp Ornate background stamp. This is one of my all time favorite stamps and I keep going back to it. I often use my Versafine Onyx black and clear embossing powder, but for this I used Stampendous black embossing powder because it has a really gorgeous raised glossy look.  Just look at that shine! The TILLYKKE sentiment simply means congrats and is from Simple and Basic. I die cut it from black cardstock 4 times for dimension, and covered the top layer in WOW! embossing Vintage peacock glitter. TIP: The die does not come with a shadow, but i turned it upside down on a black

Pop-up how-to

  Hi friends, here's a how-to on my pop-up cards. Last summer I decided on finding a card design that was sort of interactive, yet not too dimensional, to make for the Danish Operation write home.  For those who don't know, the Operation write home delivers cards for military personnel to send home to their loved ones while deployed.  ~ My favorite things Mermazing, Elegant rectangle stax, Neat & Tangled Mermazing, Taylored Expressions Sweet scallop stencil The pop-up card design is not my original idea. It's been around for years, and I recall making one a looong time ago, but it was tedious and I didn't like the working process. But I recently saw Jennifer Mcquire make it this way, and I knew I had to give it a try. And once I'd made one they just flowed on out of my crafty quarters. They are really easy to make and add quite the dimension to the card. AND - they fold flat, which is absolutely perfect. ~ Whimsy stamps Whale of a time, Sunny Studios stamps Sea
