Sparkle N Sprinkle Calla Lillies [04.18.2018]

Hi! Today's card is using one of Sparkle N Sprinkle's new April reveal stamp sets, Calla Lillies. I LOVE this stamp set, and these calla lillies are gorgeous. This set tends towards a sympathy stamp set, but I wanted to show how it could also be converted into something bright. I also created some depth and clean lines. Let's check out the card.

I started by stamping out the calla lilly stamp, in my Tonic Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, and Versafine Black Onyx ink (works great with water color mediums!) on two 4.25" x 5.5" pieces of cardstock. The Stamp Platform worked out really well because I was able to stamp two copies of the same image in the exact same spot on the cardstock. I colored one of them using my Zig brush markers, and then placed it in my Stamp Platform and stamped it again with the Versafine Black Onyx ink and then sprinkled on Clear Detail embossing powder and heat set it. I stamped the other piece of cardstock again (the one that hadn't been colored) and also added Clear Detail embossing powder and heat set it. Then, I layered an oval die using one of the Tonic Mixed Edge Oval Layering Basics Die set ovals. I offset the oval to the edge of the cardstock. I layered the non-colored oval-cut cardstock panel over the colored one and lined up the images and adhered the layers together with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Note, it is easier to use a wet adhesive for something like this because it allows a little bit of wiggle room time to get the images perfectly lined up. This was really easy to do! Then, I rolled on some Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen onto areas of the colored calla lillies and sprinkled on Pink Fizz, Tangerine, and Gecko glitters to help color the flowers and leaves. You can see those awesome flowers below.

I stamped out a sentiment from the Flower Girl - Magic in You stamp set with Versamark ink, using my Stamp Platform, and sprinkled on Princess Rose embossing powder and heat set it. Here is a close up of the sentiment. Note, I also die cut the card panel with my Tonic Tangerine machine, and the Tonic Mixed Edge Rectangle Layering Basics Die Set. I also matted that cardstock panel with some of the Emerald Green High Gloss Mirror card stock - which is GORGEOUS!

And, to top it all off, I squeezed on some Nuvo Woodland Green Crystal Drops at the bottom of the card, and sprinkled on more Gecko glitter to give it even more sparkle and some additional texture. I also used more Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and added some of the white flowers fro the Paper Blooms Coconut collection. I brushed on some Deluxe Adhesive to the petals, and sprinkled on some Diamond Dust glitter to give a lot more shine! So pretty!
