SumMore Fun - Mood Board Challenge #19

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!
Today... starts another FUN Challenge over at: 

 YAY! I know how you
guys enjoy a good Challenge!


Our Mood Board is -- TRY SOMETHING NEW




 You can use the Mood Board or go by the Theme
or Use the color combo or Use all 3!!! You don't have to use
a stamp from SumMore Fun if you don't have one!


All the rules for this fun challenge are RIGHT HERE!



Here's what I created to inspire you --




I decided to try something NEW to ME! I've NEVER EVER tried
the BABY WIPE Technique - So, I watched a couple of videos
and then felt good enough to try it myself - I started with a stamp --

I really didn't like how it came out so then I thought???
Hey, I can just use this baby wipe on some
Watercolor paper!! Right?? Maybe?? Let's see....

And so I did use the baby wipe method on some watercolor 
paper, I used Distress Re-Inkers (Peeled Paint, Dried Marigold,
Worn Lipstick, & Scattered Straw)
Dabbing my Baby wipe all over the watercolor paper
then proceeded to spritz some water on the watercolor 
paper - to help mix it up a little more
and the background you see here is what I got!

I ended up liking how neat it turned out - so I dried
my watercolor paper completely and then sprayed it with some
Sheer Shimmer Frosted Spritz - I LIKE SPARKLE!!
Then I needed a little bit more so I added some
Splatters of Distress Spray in Tarnished Brass
Once that all dried, I REALLY LIKE my background
I thought it was so NEAT!

So, then I thought what else can I do???
So I decided to TRY ANOTHER TECHNIQUE!! EEK!

I've NEVER EVER Embossed on ACETATE Before -

and I bought some acetate that's designed for
heat embossing but never tried it until now!!

So I took that AWESOME HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAMP (2871-H)
from Victorine Originals and stamped it on some
Heat Resistant Acetate (Crafter's Companion)
using my Versamark ink, then using some
Super Fine White Embossing powder to cover over it -
shook off the excess powder
 then pulled out my Heat tool and away I went!

And it turned out so PRETTY! EEK! 
I didn't want to cover up my cool background so
I used a label shape die I had to cut out the
Happy Birthday Sentiment, then used that same
die to create a thin frame around the sentiment -

I didn't add anything else to my card, because I
thought all that color was so pretty and didn't think
I needed anything else to add!


Of course I did the inside of my card as well --





I didn't use any special techniques, but I used that
Pretty BEST WISHES Stamp from Victorine Originals
along with a flower & Gem from my stash!


I hope you guys can join us --
 I would LOVE to see what you create!

  4. I have never done the baby wipe technique either and I love the idea of being able to spritz it with water to blend the colors a little more. The heat resistant acetate would be a gun medium to use as well. A very lovely card, Theresa!
