hey s'up?

I've seen some fantastic cards on Pinterest lately featuring the

masking/misting technique. I made my own mists using some

 small spray bottles with about 30 drops of Stampin up 

re-inker and filled them up with about 20ml water 

(for this card I used calypso coral and crushed curry). 

You can experiment with the strength just adding more water 

if you want a lighter colour and more re-inker for a darker colour. 

I used a Prima mask but Stampin Up has just realased some great 

masks in their new catty.

You simply place the mask on some  whisper white cardstock 

(taping in place for security if you wish) and spray one colour at the top

and the other colour at the bottom. To finish it off I embossed a sentiment 

from the Hi There stamp set in white onto calyso coral card stock and used 

some vellum, white thread and gold sequins.

So I've been playing around with gesso a bit lately and as you know 

I love to add texture and different mediums and layers 

to my cards so this card has a bit of everything!

The base is from the new DSP set 

Gold Soiree which is definitely my new favorite DSP. 

The papers are so shiny and smooth and the colours are divine! 

I embossed this with the ampersand embossing 

powder and applied some layers of gesso using an old ID card 

and placed 4 gold sequins on randomly. 

To get some extra height I used a rectangle piece of 

cardboard from one of the stampin up boxes my deliveries came in, 

a practise I might use more frequently instead of Stampin dimensionals. 

I used a piece of paper cut from 

an old book with a layer of gold glimmer paper and 

some vellum with the embossed 'hello' from the "Hi there" set. 

I painted the top of a clothespin with gesso to get a white look 

and tucked a strip of gold sequin trim and a piece of pink ribbon 

i had at home under the clothespin.
