On to today's card:
I wanted to create a card using the second smaller stamp set and the wafer die that comes in the SSS May card kit (unboxing video of that HERE and first 2 cards and video HERE) - so that's what I did.
I stamped the tea cup flowers image and the hummingbird onto Arches cold press watercolor paper and coloured them in using a Daniel Smith dot chart and a water brush.
I was completely inspired by the Pinkfresh enamel heart that's adhered to the cup - the gold foil "splatters" in it got me wondering how I could achieve that look on my card.
My first attempt was to spray the new Distress Resist Spray onto the patterned paper, coat it with Sticky Embossing powder and heat it with my heat tool until it melts (unlike regular embossing powder Sticky embossing powder will melt and become shiny and sticky). I then used a DecoFoil gold foil sheet and rubbed it against that sticky embossing powder with Simon's teflon bone folder and peeled it away to reveal gold foil splatter - success!!
To get the gold foil accents on the flower centres and the tea cup I used Tonic's Smooth Precision glue pen - it worked too but I need to experiment with it more.
I finished off the inside of the card with remaining bits of the patterned paper I'd used on the front, and a heat embossed sentiment from the Mom & Dad Icons stamp set and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
