Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21

I really love Dawns Challenges! This was a wonderful color combo to try. I thought I would try a new style and went for a grunge look. I would really suggest getting a Janome sew mini sewing machine for anyone that is interested in sewing on their cards. For this Challenge I used Stampin' Up items. I chose Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Bashful Blue, and Barely Banana

Sooo... Ta Da...

Supplies:

Stamps: Seeing stars, Extreme Elements & Circle Circus

Ink: Barely Banana, Bashful blue, Chocolate Chip & Versamark

Embellishments: Jumbo Eyelets pewter, Clear Embossing Powder, Twine, On Board Timeless Type & SU Billboard

Tools: Cropadile, Janome, Star punch, Heat Tool, Color Spritzer, Bone Folder & Cutter Kit.

Thank you for Looking

Dasher

I love this stamp set Dasher (located in the back of the catalog). It is so beautiful and big. I did this card for Dawn McVey's Color Challenge. I {heart} how this card came together. I punched out several snowflakes with Stampin' Up's newest snowflake punch to create a tone on tone background.

I created a shimmer spray using a combination of Shimmer paint and Alcohol and sprayed the background with it. I wish it showed up better in the picture because it is very sparkly. You can also add reinker to it to tint the spray with the shimmer. Just be aware that you can not use 99% alcohol if you are planning on using reinker because the ink is water soluble. Without the diluted alcohol you will get clumps of ink :)
