Ink Smooshed Encouragement Card Plus Sale and Freebie!

Hello crafty friends.  I wanted to share this card I made with an ink smooshing technique and also celebrate the kick off of the huge Scrapbook.com 7 day Sizzling Summer sale event.  I used 

Catherine Pooler Inks for this card.  Have you ever done smooshing?  It's a thing!  Simply press your ink onto a craft mat and lightly spritz with water.  Then, press water color paper or mixed media paper into your spritzed ink to create amazing backgrounds.  I work with one color at a time and dry in between colors, to prevent the colors getting muddy.  The stamps I'm using are from the Unity Stamp June 2018 sentiment kit.  It's a beautiful stamp set and has a wonderful selection of sentiments.  (Psssst.... it's on sale too!)

Tri-Color Embossed Butterfly Card

Hey friends, I'm popping in today to share this pretty Spring card.  I'm showcasing this is amazing background stamp from Unity Stamps, called "Migration of Beauty", (current sale,  price reduced by 50% when added to shopping cart) and pairing it with the "Wishing You Sunshine And Laughter" sentiment. I wanted to try something different today, so I'm mixing up some of my Nuvo embossing powders for a unique trifecta of beauty!   (Psst... the current 50% off sale at Unity ends Thurs. 5/16 at midnight!) 

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

My trio of embossing powders are from the Tonic Studios Nuvo brand and include Ocean Sparkle (and yes, this stuff really sparkles!), Crushed Mulberry and Glacier White.

I simply grabbed a clean, empty salt shaker from my cabinet and filled it with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of each color, placing my hand over the top of the bottle cap, and shaking to mix.

Such an interesting combination and you can see closer detail in the photo further down.  When you tap off the excess powder prior to heating with your craft heat tool, simply place it back in a baggie or shaker bottle for another use.

(Because folks are asking,  I used 2 long strands of string to make my triple loop figure 8 butterfly.  Here's an older video I made showing how to do that.  Just pull the loops to form the butterfly!  https://youtu.be/Do_IAnPGF2U )

Let me mention that all of the products (other than Unity Stamps) that I'm using today can be found at Scrapbook.com.  *Please note, some of the products that I'm using will be new in the shop, and not available for purchase until June.  If you click on a link and find that to be the case, you can select to be notified when it becomes available. 

Also, all stamping supplies are currently on sale up to 50% off, through Thursday, May 16th at midnight MST.  Stock up now!

In addition to embossing my stamped background and sentiment, I also embellished with Nuvo Dream Drops, Jewel Drops and Crystal gemstones (centered on my burlap string butterfly).  This card sparkles and shines and is so pretty!  I watercolored my card using Altenew pan colors and then blended in some ink from Catherine Pooler Ink.  You'll find product links to most of the products that I used at the end of this post.

Lastly, I made a coordinating envelope for my card, using my 123 Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers and some pretty lavender paper from DCWV Inc.  I made a fun 1 minute video, if you'd like to see it on my Instagram account, here.  I hope you're following me, as well.  Thanks so much for popping in today.  Terri
