HANDS REACHING OUT

 I have a quickie post for you today featuring a fun card created using the Hands Reaching Out stamp from Technique Junkies. I've been having a blast with this stamp! Check this one out!

Fun, right? For this card, I simply inked the edges of a purple piece of cardstock using a dark purple ink. On a smaller piece of orange cardstock, I created a simple tombstone mat and inked the headstones in a grey ink, added the RIP's with a marker. I then stamped the hands stamp in a dark black ink, and inked the panel with the dark purple ink. I sprayed it using Shimmering Bliss Iridescent Topper spray. I attached both pieces to a card base, added a piece of washi tape and a few mirror gems, then stamped the sentiment, also from Technique Junkies, called Wicked Halloween.

A quick, easy card for Halloween.

BEAUTIFUL FALL

It looks so colorful outside with all the leaves changing. I love this time of year. Mother Nature sure paints a pretty picture...and I'm inspired to create cards that represent these magnificent colors.

I've created a card for you today using NO STAMPS! Can you imagine? None. What I did use was some A Colorful Life stencils and the amazing Technique Junkies Shimmering Bliss sprays. Take a look.

The layers of leaves and colors come together so beautifully. I'll bet you'd like to know how I accomplished this. To give you a better idea...check out the three stencils I used:

This actually started from a clean-up kind of situation from a card I previously created using the Big Leaves Stencil. After I sprayed the stencil for my original card, I flipped the stencil over onto another piece of cardstock which created a reverse print of shimmer.

I then masked off different areas of the Leaf Set 1 and Leaf Set 2 Stencils and sprayed with Shimmering Bliss using these colors:  Wine Stain, Golden Olivine, Imperial Yellow and Just Squeezed.  Here is a close-up of just how stunning this background turned out.

Is that not fabulous? The "hello" is a die cut using the Spellbinders Stamp of the Month (May 2018) die.

Are you as in love with these stencils and sprays as I am? Here's a treat! Save 10% on them any time by using the code below. Simply enter it at check-out, never expires!

Hope you have been inspired to go create something of your own! 

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!
