Hello Gorgeous

Hello gorgeous!  Yes, you!  It's me, Shay, with a bright and happy card to share with you today.

I love using embossing powder and Distress Inks with my stamps.  A whole lot of creative play can be done by using those key ingredients, don't you think?

I pulled out the script heart from You've Got Love Mail and inked it up with Versamark and got to stamping on a piece of watercolor paper.  I heat embossed the hearts in stages with white embossing powder.  After I finished the heart pattern I pulled out Distress Ink in fired brick, spice marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn and broken china.  I smeared some of the ink onto an acrylic block and used a water brush to pick up the ink and add horizontal stripes of the color in a rainbow pattern.  With a damp rag I wiped off the embossed section to remove the ink.  

On a banner I die cut using a Papertrey Ink die, I stamped "hello" from The Big, the Bold, and the Happy and "gorgeous" from The Big, the Bold and You in onyx black Versafine ink.  I adhered that onto a piece of black cardstock and to the heart panel with foam dimensional adhesive.  Then I adhered the hearts panel with foam dimensional adhesive to a strip of black cardstock attached to a white card base.

I finished up the card with some sequins, of course (I may need to enter a sequins support group soon!).

Hope you've enjoyed today's card and your Wednesday is as fabulous as you are!
