Sparkly Sunglasses with WOW! Embossing Powder
I saw the cutest piece of art by Jen B Peters that I've been dying to recreate in card form. Check her out, she's awesome!
There are lots of ways to create glittery sunglasses but I have some WOW! embossing stunners just begging for attention so that's how I did it. I mean just look at these colors...
I coated these die cuts...
...with VersaMark and Turkish Nights embossing powder (and black for the "lenses").
I cut the circle into pieces to create the rest of the frames and assembled.
To add the dark pink to the top of my heart frames, I just applied a little pigment ink with a blending tool, then clear embossing powder and heat set.
And I love them! I think I might need to create more with my other WOW! colors.
Thanks for stopping by!

1 stamp, 3 ways - happy hedgehog
Coloring cute little characters is really not my forte, I like messier techniques that jive with my messy crafting. But the little guys from the Essentials by Ellen Tree Farm set are too cute to resist!
To create this card start by stamping the hedgehog and leaves on a smooth watercolor paper. I used my MISTI and stamped a bunch of things because I wasn't sure what I wanted to use.
Next color. I used Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush on my hedgehog and Distress Abandoned Coral & Carved Pumpkin inks on my leaves.
Create the background by stamping leaves and embossing in white. Watercolor over the embossed leaves for a resist effect. This background was inspired by my friend Amy Lee's awesome style. Her blog is always full of amazing inspiration, check it out The Craft Bunny.
Die cut hedgehog & leaves and adhere to watercolor background.
Happy Friday Eve!

love you so
I like to plan my crafty projects, I even keep a calendar for it. I find that making a plan ahead of time helps inspire me and increases my creativity. Does that sound dorky? Does anyone still say dorky? LOL!
I love Where The Wild Things Are and I love Julie's "Love You So" stamp. And after seeing the most adorable Wild Things costumes for littles, this is one of those cards that struck me.
Creating this card is super easy! Emboss leaves in clear to create a resist. I used leaves from nultiple sets.
Paint a messy green & blue watercolor over the leaves. I used Distress Inks, my favorite multi-taskers.
Stamp sentiment in black, masking the crown.
Stamp the crown in a mustard-y gold. I used Clean Color Mustard.
Watercolor crown. I started with a Clean Color marker and the added some metallic Gansai Tambi on top.
Hope your week is going well!
