Imagine Crafts and Magenta Blog Hop - Day 4

 

Welcome to a week of fantastic collaboration between IMAGINE Crafts and Magenta Rubber Stamps! Both companies are excited to share with you their products, from the latest inks from IMAGINE Crafts to the newest Fall and Holiday stamp releases from Magenta.      

For day 4 of the hop, I am sharing an ATC. I cut the leftover strip of 12x12 gessoed cardstock that I used for my Fall is my Fav art journal page into 2.5" x 3.5" sized pieces.

    

Imagine Crafts Products used: Fireworks - Lulu Lavender, Grape Jelly, Lilac Posies; Irresistible- Bahama Blue; StazOn - Jet Black, Stone Gray

Magenta Products used: Stamps - Deco Pattern damask, Script and Postmark, Do Small Things With Great Love sentiment

Other: heavy cardstock, gesso, pen, jewels

I started by stamping the background with the Script and Post Mark stamp using the Stone Gray StazOn. Then, I sprayed the 3 different Fireworks sprays starting from lightest (Lulu Lavender) to darkest (Grape Jelly) and added a light spritz of water to lighten the colour and move it around. I allowed each colour to dry slightly before adding the next one. Once the last colour was dry, I sprayed the Bahama Blue Irresistible onto a small 3x3 foam square to create a sort of stamp pad and stamped using the Deco Pattern Damask stamp. Once the Irresistible stamped damask image was dry, I outlined the image with a pen.  Using the Jet Black StazOn, I stamped the sentiment and edged the card. Lastly, I added the jewels as the final touch and compliment to the shimmery background.

It is hard to show in the photo but if you look closely, you might be able to see the shimmer that comes with the Fireworks sprays. Such a beautiful effect and so pretty in real life.

Hope you enjoyed todays offering.

Blog Hop Hint – if you click on a link that takes you to a page saying something like, “Sorry this page cannot be found,” just click on the header at the top of the blog (usually a picture, or the blog’s name), and it will take you to that blog’s most recent post. That post *should* be our hop. If not, you can probably scroll down a short way to find the hop post.
