Blessed

Hi Everybody,

Did you know that Graciellie Design offers rubber stamps sold through Unity Stamp Company?  There was a new stamp release beginning of this month and the design team is having a blog hop to inspire you.  If you purchased stamp sets at the beginning of the month, you'll get lots of ideas.

I used two stamp sets for the card I'm showing today called Sending Kindness and May Blessings Follow You.  You can purchase these two sets in digital or rubber stamp form.  Here are links for both stamp sets in digital and rubber stamp form.

I used the apple blossom flower stamp, it's the perfect size for the center of a card.  I love the sentiments  in the May Blessings Follow You about blessings and blessed. There are SO many people I could send this card to.

I used Brutus Monroe Gilded Embossing Powder.  This was the first time for me to use this and it was fabulous.  It embossed so smooth and such a beautiful, shiny color.  I colored the stamp with Zig Real Brush Markers and I actually only used one color for the flowers.  I found out after the fact this was not watercolor paper but I tried it anyway.  The results weren't too bad actually.  I embossed the sentiment also with the Gilded Embossing Powder.

To finish it off I added some pink sequins from The Ton and flicked some gold Gansai Tambi watercolor paint on the card to get some specks on there.  I put post it tape over the sentiment and flower when I did this.  No way could I have flicked that paint and it not gotten it on either of those.

I used Gina K Designs Passionate Pink Cardstock for the mat layer.

Your next stop is Terri Burson who always blows me away with her outstanding, amazing creations.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!
