Golden Cranes

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Today I am sharing this card I created with the gorgeous Japanese Cranes stamp from Technique Junkies.  I stamped the Japanese Cranes with Versamark ink onto some black cardstock, then covered it with gold embossing powder.  After I tapped off the excess powder, I used a heat tool to melt the gold powder on the black cardstock.  These cranes really come to life with that shiny gold reflecting off the black paper.

I added some gold mats behind the cranes and the gorgeous blue washi paper.  You can see the swirls of gold paint on that blue washi paper.  It's just beautiful.  I adhered all the layers to a black card base.  It's a very clean and simple card but everything is taken up a notch with all the gold accents.

Rainbow Zen Edges

 Hello! The Hopeful Crafter, Tracy Shultz, sharing two colorful cards with you today. The new Zen Edges stamp set is highly versatile and so bold! You can purchase the stamp set here: https://techniquejunkies.com/zen-edges/  Don't forget to use my code: TJ10Tracy to save 10% off your order!

For my first card, I used a piece of 4.25" x 5.5"Accent Opaque card stock and heat embossed the edges with the edges positioned at the top and the bottom. I used black embossing powder. After embossing the flourishing Zen Edges, I ink blended a rainbow using Catherine Pooler Inks. I started from top to bottom using foam domed blending tools. The colors that I used were:

1. Pucker Up
2. Catching Rays
3.  Chiffon
4. In the Park
5. Cummerbund
6. Serenade

Next, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the panel down to 4" x 5.25" and, using Versafine Claire Nocturne Ink, stamped the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the Technique Junkies Inside Out Young at Heart Stamp set: https://techniquejunkies.com/inside-out-young-at-heart-set-of-10/   Finally, I adhered the panel to a black A2 card base and applied rainbow colored gems to the flourish at the bottom of the panel.  

 

For my second card, I used a piece of 4.25" x 5.5"Accent Opaque card stock. I positioned the Zen Edges in the middle of the card panel, leaving a space between the two. I heat embossed the stamped images with black embossing powder. I then ink blended the panel with my foam domed blending tools. I blended at a diagonal angle, using Distressed Oxide Inks in the following colors:

1. Picked Raspberries
2. Mustard Seed
3. Twisted Citron
4. Lucky Clover
5.  Prize Ribbon

I heat embossed the sentiment I believe in You, https://techniquejunkies.com/i-believe-in-you/ from the new release for March 2022. I sprinkled a bit of water on panel, dried it with my heat panel, then sprayed Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Spray https://techniquejunkies.com/dazzle-shimmering-bliss-topper/ on top the panel. After the panel dried I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the panel down to 4" x 5.25" and adhered the panel to a black A2 card base.
