Life is Beautiful with a beautiful masked & sponged window technique!

I like to join many online card swaps in groups with friends from all over the country; especially when new catalogs come out. 

Here is a swap I made with my Life is Beautiful stamp set; the set I helped create as a Million Dollar Achiever with Stampin' Up!  I achieved this over a year ago but the stamp set just came out this month.  You can order it now here.

I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock. The inks are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Calypso Coral.  I absolutely LOVE creating masked windows! Sponging is a learned art and I have some great tips for you.  I shared this card on Facebook Live Tuesday, August 11th and uploaded the video to YouTube below.

This card is one I am so pleased with.  It shows off the pretty images included in the set so perfectly.

Do you make doubles or more of your favorite cards?  I actually really like making multiples of the same card.  But when you're doing a time consuming technique like this one it can little 'old'!  However, using the Stamparatus when making multiple cards is the ONLY way to go!  It sure makes quick work of making many of the same card.  I don't usually like to show my 'messy desk' pictures but you can see what happens to my desk area when I'm working! It gets smaller and so crowded! Ha!

    The new Rainbow Glimmer paper is absolutely amazing! Have you seen it yet?  Click here.

    Many Medallions black Save

    If you like colors, and I mean sparkly, bright colors you need to get some of this Rainbow glimmer paper!  It's on page 153 of the Annual Catalog.  

    Here I used the Many Medallion dies to cut a full sheet of this pretty paper and adhered it to a Black card.  All it needed was a simple greeting (Tasteful Touches set) and bow made with the new Pool Party sheer ribbon!  

    How about another option? 

    Many Medallions white Save

    I used the same strip of this paper for this die-cut; it's just further down on the sheet.  So many beautiful colors in gradient hues.  The greeting is from the Field of Flowers stamp set. 

    Here are both cards side by side.

    Which do you think highlights this beautiful glimmer paper better; white or black?  I was torn so I did one of each.

    I made these cards to send out to everyone who purchased the Starter Kit from me in June.  

    Gorgeous Posies Welcome cards Save

    I used the Gorgeous Posies stamp set (seen here) in Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral.  I just love our Distinktive style stamps!!

    Gorgeous Posies welcome card Save

    I stamped the large flower once in full strength Calypso Coral ink, stamped below without reinkining, and then lastly off to the right side.  Look at the gorgeous leaves; they are two different images. Both full strength ink but the solid style leaf is the Distinktive style so you get multiple hues of ink with just one stamping.  I did stamp the flower center dots image using White Craft ink. 

    The greeting is from a stamp set only Demonstrators can purchase. The die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.
