Hello Everyone!
Welcome Back for a peek at Today’s Card!
Today’s Card is for an Inspiration Challenge…
Appropriately named ‘Inspired By…’
Here is the Challenge!
I was inspired with all the blues in the picture!
Here is my take on the Inspiration…
I stamped in Night of Navy Ink and then quickly coated with
Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed…I wanted to be able
to water-color and not worry about the ink running!
Here is a close up of the card front…to show the raindrops AND the
Wink of Stella on the Swan, her babies, the water, the flowers…
Here is the inside of my Card!
I also heat embossed Clear Embossing Powder over the Night of Navy Ink!
I also added a few ‘raindrops’ to the inside too!
Here is my Card with its stamped to match envelope!

As I type this (Saturday) it is raining here!
I picked a great day to make this Card!
Until the next Post…Blessings and Coziness to you ALL!
I LOVE THIS CARD! You did an amazing job!
Sometime can you help me with embossing? I’ve tried and haven’t gotten very good results, even after watching tutorials. I don’t know if my supplies are too old, or if I’m just not doing something correctly. 😂
If you feel your powders are old…try putting about a 1/2 tsp of uncooked rice in the little jars with the powder…sort of like rice in salt shakers…it doesn’t create a problem when using…this is how I keep my powders!
thanks for the tip. I’ll try that. I bought all of my ink pads and embossing powder for someone on a yard sale site, so I have no idea how old they are. I know I need to buy some new supplies now that I have my stamparatus! 😄
This is so pretty! I love the touch of glitter! Thanks for playing at Inspired By 🙂
