July Cards
Here are some things I have been working on. The blue and pink is some Whipped Spackle through a stencil then some glittery embossing powder over the top. It's a fun, sparkly card IRL. Then a simple card with some new stamps.

Re: July Cards
we had a challenge over at Stamp Nation - making the inside of a card decorated in addition to the outside. This was one idea I came up with. For the front panel I inked up my cardstock with CP ink, then placed the stencil over top and removed color with a baby wipe.

Re: July Cards
Those are all very cool cards. Love that spackle.... fun sparkly look.
and the ink removal with the baby wipe looks like a great idea! I'll have to try that, for sure!

Re: July Cards
These Catherine Pooler cards always make me smile. Her stamps and colors are wonderful!
The one with embossing powder, did you heat the powder?
And I wholeheartedly agree with Pam, ain't nothin' simple about them. Fabulous.

Re: July Cards
To heat the powder, first I set it aside to dry for a day.
Then I hit it with a heat gun - I tried a bit while wet but it makes the spackle bubble up.
So a day to rest seemed to do the trick!
Thank you both!!!

Re: July Cards
These are all outstanding Nancy! Hardly simple and your use of all these great techniques are inspiring. CP is a fool not to have you on her DT. I hope you are hash tagging them somewhere where she would see these.

I did post them in Stamp Nation
They did just have a call for DT at Stamp Nation (they call it dream team) but I was too chicken to apply. Maybe next round? I think they are only for 6 months so not a huge commitment.
Re: July Cards
You need to go for it. What have you got to lose?
Oh, maybe time. I guess it does take a lot of time to make monthly (weekly?) masterpieces.
I am half tempted to joi. The stuff I see is so wonderful. But I'm thinking I need to focus my time and money on layouts, not cards. I'm already spread too thin. Ha ha

Oh for sure Nancy...go for it. It's a commitment but no reason for you to be chicken. Your cards are always excellent and these recent ones have certainly promoted CP products well. Tempted, I am, because of you.
