A big congrats to Mandi, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & color combo, but used different images, different dies & made mine a summer card instead of Christmas. This is also for Kathleen's Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. We'd love for you to join in & for all the details go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum ..but you'll need to be a Fan Club member. It's sooooo easy!
To make my popsicle card, I started w/ a piece of Embossing Folder Stamped bg & used part of it for my bottom section. Instead of inking the embossing folder, I sprayed it w/ several colors of shine sprays then closed the folder on a piece of white card stock. It wasn't embossed, so it's still flat. I used a curved border to cut the top section. After I put the two sections together, they were also embossed w/ progressively smaller sizes of the set of pierced rectangles dies. Only the largest layer was actually die cut..all the smaller ones were only embossed.
The popsicle was stamped, colored w/ Copics, over stamped w/ Versafine then fussy cut. I added some Wink of Stella on it for a little sparkle. The fuchsia borders were colored w/ Copics to match because I didn't have any card stock to match. The greeting was stamped using the lilac posies ink.
Congrats again, Mandi! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff
