Just a note black magic card

Sorry I’ve been a little lax in posting.  Life has been very busy with the grandkids on summer break.
Today’s project is one I created for a friend who is going through some pretty tough times dealing with a horrible case of breast cancer.  Just a little note to brighten her day.  It’s made using the black magic technique but a little more modern I guess you’d say.  I was inspired by a video I watched from Ruth Trice of Artful Inkin’. I first stamped on rich razzleberry cardstock sized at 5” x 3 3/4” my largest images in Versamark ink.  The stamp sets I used are Beautiful Bouquet, Floral Essence, Colorful Seasons, Flourishing Phrases (sentiment) and First Frost.  You can use any floral sets you have on hand to create this look simply by picking out a a couple of large images and filling in with smaller ones.  I then added white embossing powder.  I then, carefully, added my medium images being sure not to stamp over any embossing powder.  I heat set the embossing powder with my heat tool.  Finally I finished up by adding my leaves and the smallest images, added embossing powder and heat set those.  Once completely cooled, I began to color my images using Stampin’ Blends markers in old olive, pretty peacock, rich razzleberry, rococo rose, seaside spray, so saffron and mango melody.  I used both the light and dark markers.  I then set it aside to thoroughly dry.  I added by focal panel to a layer of seaside spray cardstock cut at 4x 5 1/4” and finally added to a thick whisper white card base 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”.

For the inside of the card I used a quote which comes from the Rustic Retreat stamp set and the leaves are from Very Versailles.  Both are beautiful stamp sets and can be used for any occasion.  

I hope I’ve inspired you today to try this technique.  It does turn out really lovely.

Everything is Rosy meets Floral Essence

Today’s project features the beautiful products from the Everything is Rosy product medley, available only through May 31, 2019, so hurry and get your products today before they’re gone.  They are so pretty and feature the colors of melon mambo, night of navy, and rose gold foiling.    Check on the information at my online store, product code is 150059.  I used the 6x6 rose gold foiled designer series paper, the rose gold foil 6x6 foil sheets, included dies and label sheet from the bundle on this card.  You get so much product and it makes such beautiful cards.  I also used the brand new Floral Essence stamp set (149450) which will be available beginning June 4, 2019, when the new annual catalog launches.  The sentiment comes from Butterfly Gala (148580) which is available now.   I stamped the flowers in night of navy and melon mambo with flower centers of crushed curry.  The leaves are stamped in soft sea foam and punched with the leaf punch (144667) which is also available now.  The Floral Essence stamp set can also be purchased in a bundle with the perennial flower punch for a savings of 10% when the catalog launches.  I used a standard card base in thick whisper white, then added a 3 1/4" x 5 1/2 piece of night of navy cardstock with a 3x5 1/2 piece of the Everything is Rosy designer series paper.  I attached the rose gold foil diecut to each side of the night of navy cardstock .  I also made a matching insert and envelope to complete the ensemble.  

I hope I've inspired you to stamp something today.  If you don't already have the Everything is Rosy product medley, please check it at my online store by clicking the shopping cart in the upper right.  Be sure to get yours before it disappears on May 31 2019.
