Be sure to visit Instagram for more information on the hop, see beautiful inspiration from the team, and ways to use digital stamps with embossing powders! As well as enter to win a PRIZE!!!!!!

For my first card I used the Beautiful Peony stamp set from Graciellie Designs. https://gracielliedesign.shop/product-category/digital-stamps/floral/ You can see this set along with many other beautiful floral images here in the link provided. I started by layering the large peony and added leaves to my image to create a large floral cluster! This is one of the reasons digital images are so fun and easy to work with! You can layer/mask right on your computer, no masking paper required! I colored my images using my zig brush markers. I also used colored pencils in the nooks and crannies on the peony image.

The WOW embossing powders were so fun and easy to work with! I had a great time! For my first card I chose to work with the beautiful Sea Turtle Embossing powder. https://wowembossingpowder.com/embossing-powders/ I love the tones of green and white in this powder, I thought it was perfect for leaves! I also wanted to add some more embossing to this project, so I die cut my sentiment (hugs) from Simon Says Stamp and added the metallic gold rich to the word hugs. For both the leaves and the sentiment I used my embossing pen by Ranger to emboss the area prior to adding the powders. I then added splatters and sequins for additional shine and interest!

For my second card I chose to work with the Hey Beautiful stamp set https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/hey-beautiful-mega-digital-stamp-set/

I started by working with this beautiful large floral image in word and added leaves behind the image. For this design I wanted to make the floral image bright and use pops of color! I used my arteza brush pens for my coloring. I used many layers of color, I wanted to create a bold and bright card! I also used colored pencils in the nooks and crannies. I love adding deep rich colors here, it truly makes the image pop! I then wanted to create added interest using the embossing powder, I used the Metallic Gold Rich powder here on my card. I used my embossing pen to create horizontal lines across my card front using my t-square ruler on my card front panel. In some areas I chose to leave an area off for embossing to create added interest and more of a distressed look.
