SugarPea Designs Sweet Peek - Watercolor Brush Strokes and Sparkle & Shine

Click HERE for my Reverse Confetti SFYTT post.

Today is the final day of Sweet Peek Week with SugarPea Designs, and that means all new 11 products will be available for purchase tonight at 6pm EST!  Do you have your list ready? Before you finalize it, I must introduce you to today's featured products Watercolor Brush Strokes and Sparkle & Shine! Sparkle & Shine is this month's Sweet Incentive Stamp Set (FREE with $60 purchase).

I had so much fun making this shaker card even though I didn't quite know where I was going with it. My initial intent was to repeatedly stamp and clear emboss one of the Watercolor Brush Strokes stamps to create a striped card front, which I did. I then used Zig Clean Color Markers to fill in the rainbow of color. At that point I had what I thought looked like a hot mess...so I decided to try out the new Scattered Stars Journal Card, cutting out the center of my hot mess and was so excited with the results, but still didn't know where I was going, lol. 

Then the idea of a shaker card popped into my head and the rest is history! I adhered my die cut star journal card to the base, created a shaker with the negative cut/card front and stamped the acetate barrier with a sentiment from Sparkle & Shine. I was a bit nervous about stamping and embossing the acetate layer, so I just took my time stamping the sentiment and embossing - slow and steady wins the race! 
Tip: definitely treat the acetate with an anti-static pouch before stamping. After the embossed image has cooled, you can buff off the dusty film from the pouch with a microfiber cloth. Also, take your time with the heat gun, making sure you don't direct/hold the heat on any one area for too long.

  3. I like where you went here. Love the dimension and texture. It reminds me of a clothing line I used to where in high school, the eighties, the ESPRIT clothing line. I had a shirt that looked exactly like this...minus the sequins. Hahaha.
