Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Winners Hop March 2022

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Winners Hop March 2022

• I’m SO excited to participate in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Winners Hop for the first time ever! What an honor! Thanks so much for voting for my card!
• Be sure to check out the blog posts from all this month’s winners in the list  below the two photos. After that you’ll find my card measurements, instructions and product list.  Thanks again.
  

Front photo above: I loved the graphic representation of the waves diecut with the Blue Specialty Foils and the Mother of Pearl paper. Reflections of the waves (especially the silver wave diecut with a foam adhesive sheet) really adds lots of depth. I didn’t glue the waves down completely so the parts sticking up would reflect more onto the background foil. You really can’t see the incredible sparkle in the Mother of Pearl paper in the photo, but it’s AWESOME in person! Adding the strip of DSP adds even more interest to the cardfront and ties in the stamped image on the inside.

Inside photo above: I LOVE the detail in the Waves of Inspiration stamp set, so I featured it on the inside of the card.

• Mother of Pearl specialty paper: 2” x 3 ½” attached to adhesive sheet then diecut with wave

Instructions:

• NOTE: These instructions aren’t completely detailed since I plan to feature this card in my You Tube Facebook Live on Wednesday, March 30th at noon Central time. Watch the replay for instructions at this link: Facebook.com/CreateWithKelley.
• To make sure the Coastal foil fit properly onto the card: 
  • I strategically layered and CAREFULLY used liquid glue on the Navy and Pearl waves so I could leave portions of the waves loose to cause a reflection in the foil.  BUT you could just use adhesive sheets and glue them flat if you prefer.
  • In order to show more depth and raise one wave above the others I adhered a FOAM adhesive sheet before diecutting it.
• I “dry-fitted” the foil piece with the DSP before gluing down the DSP strip then adding the foil waves layer over it.
• I stamped the wave on the inside white layer using the Stamparatus, inks and blending brushes with the GORGEOUS detailed wave stamp. I created the sky using blending brushes and the same inks I used on the wave. Finally, I added white “foam” using White Craft Ink and Embossing Powder to make it seem more realistic.
