Stampendous has teamed up with another incredible company. All this week, we are playing along with Core'dinations. It's been great fun so far. Please remember to stop back on Saturday for a show-stopping, grand finale blog hop.
I created a card using the Stampendous Cling Jumbo Dahlia stamp and Core'dinations Black Magic ColorCore cardstock. I started by stamping the flourish from the Cling Jumbo Dahlia on the purple back side of a piece of Black Magic cardstock. I then 'embossed' this flourish by once again placing the stamped image side up, black side down on a foam mat and then tracing the flourish with a stylus. I turned the cardstock over so the black side was up and sanded over the raised areas. Here's the magic, the purple color shows through where sanded.
The glorious dahlia image was stamped onto Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. I cut out the image and then adhered it to the card. Simple, easy and fun.
And now for more inspiration.
(That's me)
Thanks for visiting today. Have a magical day!
