You're Egg-straordinary!

Hi, I have a super quick card to share with you today. It is a little 3.5 x 3.5" note card that I made using one of Emma's newest release stamps sets Happy Hunting


I tried a new technique (for me) on the background. You ink the background up with Tim Holtz distress ink and then you spray your stamp with glimmer mist and stamp it. For the background stamp I used Emma's pretty floral background stamp from the Spring Chicken Background stamp set. This gives a really cool effect in person. The inner part has the exact impression of the background stamp and then it gives a glittery outline to everything. I just wish it showed up better on this picture. Oh and I also stamped and colored my bunny on PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock.

Well that's it for today. I hope you have a TERRIFIC day! Hugs- Glora

Items Used:

My Creative Time stamps - Happy Hunting
My Creative Time stamps - Spring Chicken Background
My Creative Time Die - Stitched Oval
Twine from The Twinery
Cardstock from PaperTrey Ink
Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Glimmer Mist

MCT February Release Sneak Peek Day #2

Hi and welcome to day 2 of sneak peeks from My Creative Time's newest stamp release. Today we are showcasing a couple of background stamps called Spring Chicken. These are darling. The background that I used is really chicken wire but I thought it also looked a lot like honeycomb so I made a 3.25" note card using the chicken wire/honeycomb background.


To get the pretty glossy (honey) finish on the background stamp I inked it with watermark ink and then I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I ALWAYS love how clear embossing powder looks on a background stamp! The sweet little sentiment and tag are from Emma's January release and are called Teeny Tag Greetings. The cute little bee is from Create a Critter and stamped with the Snow Cuties face by Peachy Keen Stamps.
