Challenge: Just a hint of clover…

Simon Says stamps has several weekly challenges.  This week, their color challenge was "a hint of clover"...  Here's a link to their challenge blog: http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/

Here's the card I made for this challenge:

No process vid here... I have my second cold for the month and I want to limit my talking.

Base card stock is Stampin Up! Naturals... I think... Then the next piece is velum embossed with a cuttlebug folder.  I then daubed two stains on it: 1- forest moss distress stain and 2- a homemade glimmer mist composed of aderondak butterscotch spray and gold pearl X.  Then the central image uses the stamp kissing technique.  First I inked the Stampendous Lily of the Valley stamp in Brilliance Pearescent Ivy (which does need reinking)  and then I "kissed" it with a background stamp from Stampin Up! that was inked in Distress Peeled Paint.  I then heat embossed the whole thing with clear powder.  This was all done on the same natural's card stock as the base card.  I mounted it on an off brand gold paper I picked up at my office supply on clearance.  The twine from the dollar spot at Target and a flair that I altered.  I coated the flair in gesso.  Then I mixed a touch of the butterscotch spray into Folk Art Pearl White paint and painted it.  I finally stamped it with Staz-On using a Studio G stamp.

Enjoy!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Lucky

This is a card in response to this challenge blog:
http://curtaincallchallenge.blogspot.com/2015/03/curtain-call-inspiration-challenge-lucky.html

Here is my card!

Sorry.  No process video for this one.  I'm just too sick!  But... The card stock base is a recollections kelly green.  I dragged Brilliant pearlescent ivy over it to darken it up a bit.  The pattern paper comes from Carta Bella Yesterday 6x6 paper pad.  Next layer is vellum, embossed with a cuttlebug folder.  I then randomly swiped Brilliance Ivy and Orchid on the back of the vellum.  The Main panel is a Stampendous stamp.  First I used watercolor cardstock and put a quick wash of distress inks wild honey, picked raspberry, and peeled paint.  I dried it.  Then I heat embossed the lily of the valley stamp over the distress ink wash.  Then I used home made pearl X paint to color in the negative areas of the lily of the valley image.  I used green on the leaves and stems and pearl white on the flowers.  Finally, the tag at the bottom is the same green card stock, dragged with ivy, and then stamped in versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Taht stamp is studio G.

As usual, it looks simple but is full of details. That's my typical style.

Enjoy!
