Hi there! Welcome to the third day of the November Neat & Tangled release countdown! All of the new products will be available in the Neat & Tangled Store on Friday November 10th at 8:00 am EST!
Today we are showcasing the beautiful Radiating Star Stencil and a gorgeous stamp set called Joyful Sentiments. I absolutely love the font used for these beautiful sentiments!
Okay this may look like a pretty CAS card and one that would not take you long to make... well it shouldn't have, but I spent longer on this card than I did on any of the others for this whole release. I had a trash can full of mess ups! I stamped the sentiment in 24 different colors, embossed it in 12 different embossing powers, and colored the stencil in with 18 different shades of ink before I finally got the right color combination. But... when I did I was enthralled with this card! I love it!
Okay if you want the final simple steps.... the sentiment was stamped in pink and red with the MISTI stamping tool and I blended yellow for the Radiating Star stencil and then went back with the red in the center. I also added some of the new sequin mix to finish it up. Whew! LOL!
