Pigment Sprinkles





This past weekend I was a part of stampin' retreat hosted by Stamp with Lisa Marie AKA my amazing mom. ( follow her here--> Stamp with Lisa Marie ). It was great fun and I was able to play with some product that has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. One of the products was the pigment sprinkles, which to be honest are quite intimidating to me. I very much like for things to be precise and controlled and I don't like when I lose control of my work, and pigment sprinkles are very unpredictable! So after I created a horrid disaster that I will save your eyes and not share with you, I was cleaning my space with a baby wipe and this amazing smear affect occurred... so I decided to recreate it on my project! It's funny how happy accidents occur when you are crafting. Below I show you 2 different projects I created using this baby wipe smear technique and I just absolutely love it! I love that I could control it and that it created a simple background that my overthinking brain didn't muddle up. 

 Our retreat this weekend that I was a part of, was a 2 day event and everyone who attended received a goody bag, since it was Lisa Marie's 20th stampaversary ( congrats!!) everyone received a little extra beyond the standard $50 dollar goody bag budget. Everyone received the Most wonderful Time Medley. Which by the way is AMAZING! The catalog pictures never do complete justice and I was deterred by the price, but you have to remember that the medleys are an all INCLUSIVE kit. So in this medley you received a FULL stamp set, a FULL set of dies, a spool of exclusive tinsel trim, GORGEOUS 6"x6" DSP with gold foil accents, full size cardfronts with gold foil accents and cardstock quaility coordinating stickers! It is absolutely wonderful... hehe. You can click the photo below to purchase the medley and/or the pigment sprinkles! 

 Every Sunday evening at 7:30 pm CT Lisa Marie and I come together and we are doing a Spontaneous Stampin' Sunday Live on Facebook. In this week's live, I demonstrated the baby wipe technique plus we both featured some samples from our medley PDF that everyone at the retreat received in their goody bag! If you order the Medley from me you will receive the PDF for free plus the paper to make each of the 6 cards featured in the PDF! How fantastic is that!?

 In this sample, I incorporated the medley stamps and the pigment sprinkles. To get the background, I simply sprinkled the pigment sprinkles onto my fluid 100 water color paper and then swiped a baby wipe left to right across the paper to create this smeared appearance. I love the titration of colors!!

 In this sample, I incorporated the sip, sip hooray bundle. I smeared two colors, the Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. Then smeared the sprinkles with a baby wipe. I went in a second time with a few more sprinkles of each color and I was able to get this bubbly appearance up at the top, so I thought it was fitting to emboss a tall glass of bubbly!

Peek at the August class

Image
If you are coming  to my August card class then you will be able to make this card with me! I felt like mixing the old with the new when I designed this card. I absolutely love our new nautical set Sailing Home with the sailboats and the anchor, but I still love the words that are in the original lighthouse stamp set, High Tide. This was a simple layout which featured the banner triple punch ( why are the words backwards, I feel like it should be called the triple banner punch.. alas I did not name the product). The banner triple punch was designed to assist with making banners without having to fuss with getting the corners straight, it does all the work for you, which is great because banners and I do not get along! The banner punch is designed to accommodate banners that are 1 inch, 1 1/2 inches and 2 inches wide. My night of navy banner was created at 2 inches by 4 1/4 inches and my white layer is ever so slightly smaller than 2 inches by 4 inches. DSP is cut to 2 i...
