Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Add a Sentiment

I've had a really tough year and my husband is my rock. He has been there for me through it all. I made this card for him, and it's the perfect epitome of how I feel about him. I used an embossing folder for the background and colored it with Lindy's Magicals. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the girl (Stamping Bella) on a separate piece of white cardstock, colored her with Copics and Stickles and fussy cut her, then attached her with foam dimensional tape. Peace.

I used the ink smooshing technique for the background with Picked Raspberries Distress Oxide Ink for a lighter shade of pink, and then I sprayed some Cocktail Party Mica Spray Stain on my glass mat and smooshed that around on top of the lighter pink. I then used Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink through a snowflake stencil and stamped the sentiment (Unity Stamps Co.) with it, then embossed with clear embossing powder. I dragged a Distress Ink pad in Villainous Potion around the edges to finish it off. Peace.

I colored her with Copics and Lindy's Magicals (using a paintbrush) and fussy cut her, then attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
