Stamp Focus: Shine Like a Diamond

Hello friends!  It's Laurie Willison here.  I am stopping in today with 3 new cards using the new stamp set Shine Like a Diamond.  This background stamp is gorgeous with so many possibilities.

Using my Misti, I placed a half sheet of white cardstock and placed the background stamp along the bottom.  I inked it up with Obsidian Black ink and stamped the cardstock.  I was able to cut out a card front from the top of the sheet with 1 1/2″ of white along the bottom, creating a masked look, without the masking.

The gorgeous “shine” sentiment is included in the set and looks great in Gold Embossing.  I stamped bright, again in Obsidian ink and then finished the card off with some sequins.

Using the Mega Bloom Stencil, I blended in Altenew's Rouge ink on a pale pink cardstock.

I kept the stencil and cardstock together and laid it in the Misti.  This time I stamped the Shine Like a Diamond background in white ink.  I love the texture it gives on the Mega Bloom.

To finish off the card, I popped up the hello die on fun foam and added in a few sequins.

Heat embossing is such a fun technique, as it gives card so much texture.  I always think I need to ink blend though, to showcase the embossing.  This time I decided it needed to stay white!

I inked the background stamp up with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The detail this background has is gorgeous in white.

I stamped up the bloom from Handpicked Bouquet and added that to the front of the card, along with a sentiment stamped on a pink strip of cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!
