Ahhhhh nothing like racing to finish editing and voicing-over a video while a thunderstorm rolls in and before the kids (and the noise!) wake up!
It was a long weekend and a holiday here yesterday - so today definitely feels like a Monday.
I wanted to create more with the Beautiful Flowers stamp set that came in the SSS June 2018 card kit (as predicted the kit sold out REALLY fast - the stamp set and everything are available separately though and I'll have links at the end as usual). I've had a lot on my plate lately and missed getting this video edited for last week's Color Throwdown challenge:
You can still check out what the rest of the team created HERE <------click! as well as check out the gallery of cards that were made by those playing along - always great inspiration! There will be a new Color Throwdown challenge up tomorrow as well!
I also wanted to play around some more with the Tonic Nuvo Shimmer Powders - so that's what I did. I white heat embossed the large floral image from the Beautiful Flowers stamp set onto Canson XL watercolor paper then sprinkled on 3 different colors of the Shimmer Powders before spraying with water.
I moved the color around a bit with my finger (It WILL stain your skin just fyi) just to fill in some of the flowers and leaves, and then sped up the drying with my heat tool.
I die cut the panel once it was dry with the largest of Simon's Wonky Rectangles wafer dies, and heat embossed sentiments from the Beautiful Flowers stamp set onto scraps of Audrey Blue and Green Apple card stocks. I finished it off with white pearls and adhered the panel to my card base with foam tape.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the sentiment with SSS's Green Apple ink then stamping the individual flowers with the Audrey Blue ink and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:

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!
