Just Us Girls #686 – Color Week

Last week I didn’t get to do much crafting so I missed one or two challenges that I usually like to participate in. This week it is easier so I’m back in my craft room trying to regain some mojo. I don’t do a lot using pastels so decided to have a go with this challenge at JUG’s.

I pulled out some marble paper that was gifted to me and cut a frame, using Hero Arts Infinity dies, for the card front. I also cut a circle, also Hero Arts, to go behind the dotted die piece. This die is from Your Next Stamp (sadly closing shop). With an older SSS set called Lifting Hearts I stamped the cute image, coloured it with pencils and then covered it with Versamark ink so I could heat emboss it. Once I had one coat done I repeated it only this time I used the Ultra Thick powder and kept adding it until I was happy with the result. I die cut several pieces so I could stack them for a bit of dimension and now the image is shiny and to me, quite pretty. Using a stamp from the same set I added the sentiment at the bottom. I decided against any embellishments but may change my mind later on.

I hope you are having a good day, and thanks for taking a look.

  1. Great shine on your “floating” image. It is adorable and the use of marble patterned paper peeking out from the the edges and fun circle die is a great design and card.

    1. Many thanks. I used to do this a lot in the past and then forgot about it. Saw a video that reminded me and thought it time to try again. Glad you like the card.
