Hello friends! I hope you're all surviving "Maycember"! ha ha! With three kids in three different schools this year, things have been BUSY! Lots of fun things to celebrate and attend, but sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming, am I right?
It's always a good time when I'm here to share projects made for a countdown and here we are for day 1 of the Papertrey Ink May release countdown! My first card for today uses the new So Radiant Stencil Collection paired with the new Amazing Grace Background Stamp. There is also an Amazing Grace Press Plate, but I don't have the Letter Press system, so I just opted to use the stamp today.
This card also uses the new Love to Layer: Whimsy Die...I chose to use the largest in the set to cut out the heat embossed Amazing Grace background. I heat embossed it on Raspberry Fizz cardstock using gold powder and then mounted it onto the stenciled panel. The stencil set has three stencils; you can use two together to have two different colored "rays" or you can use the stencil with all of the "rays" and just use one color. I opted to use the two stencils for two different colors of yellow.
I left the stencil over the top on the first step and added some darker yellow ink splatter and then removed the stencil.
The card I'm sharing for the Project Inspiration feature this weekend uses the poppies, so I thought I would try them in pink! I love how they turned out. I cut them using the Into the Blooms: Poppies Die and the Into the Blooms: Pressed Flowers Die from white cardstock and then colored them with dye ink and blender brushes. I arranged them over the background using foam squares and liquid glue and then added some glitter!
I'm always a sucker for patriotic themed products and even more so this year, with the 250th birthday coming up! This is the new Freedom in Bloom stamp set paired with the new Cover Plate: Gathering Florals Die.
I also used the fabulous new Land That I Love Sentiments heat embossed in gold.
I added some flowers from the same Into the Blooms: Pressed Flowers and from Into the Blooms: Wild Wood.
Join me tomorrow for day 2! Thanks for fluttering by!
