I don't usually post on the weekends but I had a couple of ideas for cards that came as I reflected on techniques shared at my online class and I actualy had time to make them. Kristina Werner made an adorable card that featured two panels of the same card stock. Using supplies to alter one of the panels, she placed them side by side in the layout. Here's my take on it!
I cut two strips of Pool Party card stock (each is 1-3/8" x 5-1/2"). I altered one by inking it with VersaMark, then heat embossing with Iridescent Ice. It gave a great sparkle and changed the hue just the tiniest bit. Beginning with a Crumb Cake card base, I stamped the delicate leafy image from the Pines & Poinsettias set using White Craft ink along each side.
The focal panel was inspired by our monthly magazine for demos, Stampin' Success. So many beauituf projects in there! I used Red Craft ink to stamp the floral image, and using Heat 'n Stick Powder I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I love the frosty shimmer.
All wrapped up in a red satin bow. (ETA - which I straightened up after taking the photo. Looks better now. <g>)
