I created two cards using the new Isn’t She Lovely stamp and die set. I’ve linked the new release below, but be sure to read on to see how I created these cards.
I really love the way the Isn’t She Lovely set gives you options for how to create the main focal sentiment, so I used it in a couple of different ways to create these cards.
I stamped the main solid sentiment using ombre stamping – I used Limoncello and Polished inks (my new favorite combo), making sure the colors blended in the centre. Catherine’s acrylic blocks are fab for ombre stamping.
I then stamped on top the speckled overlay from the stamp set in WOW! embossing ink and heat embossed in Gold Metallic EP. Doesn’t this give a cool effect!! I then die cut the word out using the Lovely die and set aside.
For the background, I stamped the various hearts all over the background in Polished and Limoncello (and a couple in ombre). The very very tiny heart is from the Love is in the Air set, although there are several Catherine Pooler releases that have a teeny heart!
I also used the heart from the Lovely Die and stamped an ombre heart. I also stamped the heart again in embossing ink at the bottom and heat embossed in gold. I then popped it up on the background overlaying one of the hearts. I coated it in Glossy Accents. I then popped on the Lovely die cut, and stamped some of the sentiment words from the set in Midnight directly onto the panel.
As a finishing touch, I scatted some CPD Vegas, Baby and Miami sequins to co-ordinate with the gold EP.
For my second card, I carried on with the similar theme. This time I stamped the main Lovely sentiment outline in Black Jack ink and die cut it. I then used a Zig Blender to color in the word with Juniper Mist and Stone Blue inks.
For the background I used the Be Wild stamp set from the new release and the smaller heart images from Isn’t She Lovely stamped all over the background, overlapping in some places. I used Black Jack, Juniper Mist, Be Mine for a pop of color, and Stone Blue. I then popped the die-cut Lovely over the top and adhered the panel to a white notecard.
The sentiment was heat embossed in white on a Smoke and Mirrors cardstock and popped up too. I finished with some of the Aspen and Miami sequins, and Stardust Stickles in places for a tiny bit of sparkle.
Enjoy the hop!!
