And another gorgeous new background stamp, Victorian Tile. I stamped the background with Distress Embossing Ink onto gray cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I started coloring the embossed circles with Copic R21 and RV25 for a fun, different look:
Yes, can do this! I like to use the less-used chisel end of my markers for this type of project, just in case some of the embossing powder might clog the nib. But generally, if you color quickly and don't linger, then wipe the tip off by scribbling on scratch paper, you shouldn't have a problem. But if you do, remember your Copic nibs/tips are replaceable!
I chose my colors by matching the R21 marker with the Gina K Innocent Pink cardstock I used to mat the colored background. Then I matched the Memento Rose Bud ink that used to stamp the sentiment with Copic RV25, for a perfectly coordinated project!
The pretty pearl label was stamped with Memento Gray Flannel ink and colored with the same two Copic colors. Pearls accent the sentiment, which is glittered around the edges:
I custom dyed the light pink seam binding with Copic R21 Various Ink Refill, so it would also match the background coloring.

I'll be back later this evening to draw and post the winner of my Color Cubbies giveaway a few posts below this one . . . you still have until then to enter!
This sentiment set will get you through all the upcoming winter holidays, straight through to Mother's Day and beyond! And there are plenty of general all-purpose occasion sentiments as well.
I stamped the background with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Natural White cardstock and then colored it with these Copic markers:
The Mother's Day sentiment was also stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and while the cardstock was still in the die, I airbrushed it with the BG45 Copic marker. The pretty decorative circle heart border was stamped with Memento Rose Bud ink, circle die cut, and then backed with a black die cut Spellbinders Picot Circles:
Each of the sentiment circle layers were popped up on Copic Foam Tape. The Mother's Day sentiment circle and rose in the bow have Star Dust Stickles on them -- you can probably see it better by clicking on the photo for a larger view. The aqua seam binding came from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store -- I added a few drops of the BG45 Copic Various Ink Refill to the ribbon to get it to match my colored background perfectly!

Good morning! Today marks the start of JustRite's December release inspiration blog hops. We're starting the week off with some sweet Valentines and I made this cute little 4.50" shaped card for you:
It was made with part of this pretty new Cling Cupid Background stamp:
I inked the stamp with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink and stamped it onto Neenah Natural White cardstock, then colored it with Copic R22 (stripes) and R83 (flowers):
I die cut the background with Spellbinders (retired) largest Nested Heart die -- I love the little "stem" at the top! Then I cut apart a white heart paper doily and adhered it to the back of the die cut heart. Next, I just lightly traced around the doily shape onto doubled red cardstock and cut around the shape, leaving the folded top uncut.
The sentiments are from another new JustRite Clear stamp set, Antique Valentine Tags One (you'll see more with this new set on Thursday's inspiration hop). I stamped the sentiments with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Natural White cardstock and then die cut them with JustRite's Custom Dies - Vintage Label & Banner Dies (banner) and Antique Tags One Dies (Be Mine). The Be Mine sentiment was glittered around the edges and popped up on Copic Foam Tape.
