Geometric Sparkles

October 6, 2016

Hello, Jess here to share a card for our current challenge!

I struggled a little with the geometric challenge (since I own a ton of floral stamps from Hero Arts) 😉 but then I remembered the pretty Christmas Crystals set and here’s what I came up with!

Geometric Sparkles
I stamped the ornaments and sentiment with versamark and heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder.  I masked the lowest one with a post-it note so that I could stamp another ornament behind it.  Then I added a stripe of color with the zig clean color marker and blended it out in each triangle with water and a small paintbrush.  I also added grey around the ornaments and blended it out across the whole panel.  

Geometric Sparkles
Next I pressed versamark over the edges of another A2 piece of cardstock and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder.  I trimmed down the watercolor panel and adhered it over the embossed frame and finished the card with some silver sequins!  And that’s my card!
I hope you’ll enter our challenge this month for a chance to win a fun new Hero Arts stamp set from us! 🙂

    So cool! Love the colors, and how you masked the one crystal. Gives a nice illusion of dimension. Tfs! 🙂 ~ Andrea
