Hello hello friends! I pulled out a bunch of my Nuvo Shimmer Powders to create some cards and decided to add in some Distress Spray Stains when making the backgrounds. If you've missed some of my previous videos that I've done (nearly 2 dozen over the last few years) using Nuvo Shimmer Powders you can find that playlist here:
AmyR's Tonic Nuvo Shimmer Powder Videos
AND if you've missed any of my previous videos using Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers wafer die sets I did up a playlist on those too:
AmyR's Honey Bee Lovely Layers Cards
So yes - lots of inspiration and info all in there and now much more easy to find lol!
I pulled out Honey Bee's Lovely Layers: Hydrangea and Lovely Layers: Bugs wafer die sets and made these cards:
I created several panels using Canson XL watercolor paper and a variety of Nuvo Shimmer Powders and Distress Spray Stains. I have all the supplies that I used linked below as always and I "grouped" the powders and spray stains together in the order that I used them just in case anyone was wondering what colors/combos were used. I'll also list them with the closeup of each cards (as I type stream of conscious thoughts while typing this post LOL).
After all the panels were dry I used Honey Bee's Lovely Layers: Hydrangea wafer dies to die cut all the flower layers and leaves. For the backgrounds I used Honey Bee's Quilted A2 Coverplate on Canson XL watercolor paper along with a bit of Jade Fountain Nuvo Shimmer Powder and Speckled Egg Distress Spray Stain.
For the bugs I used the Lovely Layers: Bugs wafer dies, Canson XL watercolor paper, and Solar Flare Shimmer Powder, Meteorite Shimmer Powder and Black Soot Distress Spray Stain. The wings were all die cut from Lawn Fawn Pearlescent Vellum.
All the leaves were: Jade Fountain Shimmer Powder, Falling Leaves Shimmer Powder, Sunray Crosette Shimmer Powder, Twisted Citron Distress Spray Stain, Rustic Wilderness Distress Spray Stain
Pink Hydrangea: Cherry Bomb Nuvo Shimmer Powder, Spun Sugar Distress Spray Stain
Purple Hydrangea: Violet Brocade Shimmer Powder, Lilac Waterfall Shimmer Powder and Shaded Lilac Distress Spray Stain.
Blue Hydrangea: Atlantis Burst Shimmer Powder, Blue Blitz Shimmer Powder and Speckled Egg Distress Spray Stain.
I used Honey Bee's Kind Buzzword wafer die for all 3 cards - layering it with the Pearlescent vellum and topping it with Simon's Matte Gold Mirror card stock. I then used the Kind Buzzword stamp set to gold heat emboss all the companion sentiments.
On the insides of the cards I used the Miss You Big Time stamp set and stamped the large sentiments with Simon's Goldenlocks ink and then stamped the companion sentiments with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and that finished them off!
