Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap.
First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality.
I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso. Cute layout too! Her cards are often among my favorites. The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.
She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image.
You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here. It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!
Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples?
DETAILS – Makes 1 album with 28 pages – Album size: 7-3/4″ x 7″ x 1-7/8″ – Page size: 6.5″ x 6″ – Colors: Blueberry Bushel, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger – Sentiments printed in English, French, and German

What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!
Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.
On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.
I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.
I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.
