NEVER STOP MAKING WISHES

Hi there Technique Junkies Stamps fans!!! 

I have a fun and easy card to show you today.  I am having such a great time playing with the new TJ Shimmer Bliss Sprays that I had to show you this card I created using them in a different way.  

Just a note:  The sprays and any Technique Junkies Stamps are available to you with a 10% discount with my coupon code TJ10Cheri.

Using Thulian Pink color of Shimmer Bliss, I sprayed it onto my craft mat and took a wet paint brush and applied it to an 80# card stock layer toward the center area.  I was careful not to use too much wet so as not to break down the paper.  

Using Mardi Gras Purple, Vivid Volt, Festive Flamingo and a tiny bit of Imperial Yellow, I stippled each color around the area of the center water colored area.  For a little extra color dimension I held the spray tubes (from inside the bottles) over the panel and let the colors drop.  

Once dry, I prepped the panel with a embossing buddy and using my MISTI I stamped "Never Stop Making Wishes" stamp from the new August 2018 Release with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I did not remove the stamp from the MISTI, so I replaced the panel and reinked the stamp with a dark purple dye ink and moved the panel just a tiny bit and stamped the image again, giving it a "shadow".  The white ep, worked as a release and I simply wiped away the purple ink from the white stamped image.

The window effect was created using an older Spellbinder square dies.  The "frame" was popped up a bit using mounting tape and the cut piece was placed inside the frame.  

These sprays are truly wonderful to use.  I'll be showing off more fun projects in future blog posts.  

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget your coupon if you're going shopping in the Technique Junkies Store.

I am having so much fun playing with the new shimmer sprays and stamps!  Here is a card I made this week using these new stamps "Enjoy the Ride"  and "Messy Marble" and Shimmer Bliss Sprays "Miami Vice", "Mardi Gras", "Harvest Sunset" and "Iridescent Shimmer Bliss Topper"

I first stamped the Messy Marble bg stamp with VersaMark ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  This created a resist for the sprays.  I then used Miami Vice and Mardi Gras and blended them on the panel in various areas.  I absolutely love how these sprays work together.  

I dried the sprayed panel and then sprayed it again lightly with Iridescent Topper.  This photo does not do the shimmer justice!  It's stunning in real life.  

Choosing the sailboat from the "Enjoy the Ride" set, I stamped it in a navy dye ink color, used a round die to cut it out then sprayed it with the Iridescent Topper.  I gave the image a glassy appearance.  I made the frame out of a pumpkin colored card stock scrap and then sprayed it with Harvest Sunset Shimmer Bliss!  

I was so delighted with the results of the stamps and sprays on this card and I hope you found some inspiration here.
