MCT 48th Edition Release Sneak Peek #2


It's Sneak Peek Week for My Creative Time's 48th Edition Release, and today we are showcasing a fun new background stamp called  Best Friends Background.  I tried out a new technique with it, and I really like how it turned out.  First, I heat embossed the stamp onto watercolor paper with clear embossing powder.  Then I added blotches of distress ink all over it, spritzing it with water to let the inks blend together.  Once it had dried, I put the paper between two sheets of printer paper and used my clothes iron to iron off the embossing, leaving a nice smooth, matte look.

Once my background was trimmed and adhered to a white card base, I die cut the "friend" die from the new Friendships are Forever set three times, adhered them together, and added that to the front of the card.  I stamped "feel better" from this set, cut a little flag around it, and adhered it above the die cut.  Finally, I added some turquoise sequins.

*Sneak Peek Giveaway***

We will be giving away the sets we are showcasing each day to ONE lucky winner!  For example, for the set we showcase on Wednesday, Emma will announce the winner in her video on Thursday, and for the set we showcase on Thursday, she will announce on Friday, and so on... ALL you have to do to be eligible to win is to leave a comment on our blogs!  You are NOT required to comment on EVERY SINGLE blog, but the more you comment on, the better chance you have of winning!  VERY IMPORTANT, please leave your contact information with your comment, just in case "YOU" are the lucky winner!  For extra entries, you can spread the word about this release on Facebook, tweet about it, OR even instagram it! #mycreativetime!  GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY, & let's start spreading the word!

    Plain and simple but so pretty.
    The stamp makes it so easy to design a beautiful card - a little embellishments and some scrubbing of color and you're ready to go.
    thanks for sharing.

    Such a cute card Katie! I like that you added "Feel Better". I don't believe I would have thought to put them together.

    That's why I love blog hops because you get some many ideas!
