July 2017 Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

It’s time for another Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

I know theoretically July should be a release month, but earlier in the year I mentioned that I was aiming to take some of the stress of releases away a little, I have delayed it until August, it’ll be a good one – promise!  Anyway, the Design Team and I are here today to revisit and give some fresh inky love to a previously released clear stamp set.

This month I decided to dust off and revisit the previously released Marvellous Mehndi

As usual I have picked a couple of my ‘old’ favourites using this set and I am sharing them over HERE at the start of the hop. I’ve had so much fun creating cards using this set, it really does have a wealth of possibilities. Here’s how I used it today…

I’ve had these Gansai Tambi Starry Watercolours for AGES and I think I’ve only used them once since I got them nearly year ago *hangs head in shame*.  Anyway, I had the idea of using them with the large mandala from the set for a couple of weeks now and I really wanted to try them out on some black card stock too. So that’s how this card came about!

I stamped the mandala in VersaMark and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. I then used all of the colours from the Gansai Tambi Starry Watercolours collection to colour them in. This was seriously therapeutic and I just LOVE the sparkle! I added a die cut congrats sentiment from Stampin’ Up! and some gold nail heads to finish the card off.

I have a little sneaky peek of another card I will be sharing HERE (at 1pm GMT) for this weeks CAS Colour & Sketches DT post. I had so much fun I couldn’t resist using almost all the same supplies!

    OOOOH I am in love with the card you have created!!!! The GOLD and silver coloring is just so classy. I didn’t know the water colors could create such amazing results on black backgrounds. Thanks for sharing:)

    Such a pretty card.. the use of metallic on black makes it stand out! I am not sure if you know that , there is a style of henna tattooing where they use gold along with the henna!

    Glad you are taking the time to slow down. Constant
    striving to attain goals is not good for our health –
    physical and mental. I love the Mehndi design.
    The gold colors are fantastic.
    thanks for sharing.

    Absolutely love this card. I love the colours you’ve used and the little bit of sparkle is great. I would love to be as talented as you are, but I’m not lol. So thankyou for revisiting some older cards and bringing much needed inspiration. X.
