Hi All!
The orange-y background for this card was created using Fireworks by Tsukineko (the same company who makes Memento and Versafine inks, among others). It’s an ink spray that has a beautiful shimmer to it. I totally love them. My sister got a 3-pack of them from her friend for $1 at a garage sale! Um, totally worth it. After making this card, I went out and purchased another set of blue/purple.
I broke out my Papillon Potpourri set and matching punch. I haven’t used these in awhile – too many products and not enough time!
Anyway, enjoy!
Darlene

Oh Darlene, this is just so beautiful!! I got to get me that stamp set and matching punch, I think it’s fabulous how it punches the image so perfectly.
I never heard of those spray paints, I think I’m going to go and take a look at them, thank you for this video, you really open a lot of possibilities to explore and expand our card making horizon. You are really something else!!

Stunning card Darlene! Hard to imagine using sprays as the technique for the entire card. Sounds appealing to me.

I recently bought some spray inks, it’s so much fun to play with. I die cut some letters to make the word Hello on masking paper, placed the letters on my card and sprayed it, love the result when I took off the masking paper. Also bought 2 stencils, it’s a lot of fun! Thanks for an inspiring video!

I’m surprised you didn’t use the Stamp a ma jig 😉
Did you happen to get my email about the ribbon?
Darlene DeVries
Hi Van – I know! It’s bothering me that it’s a bit crooked, lol!! And yes, I responded to you. Sorry for the delay. 🙂

Great card! Thanks for reminding me that I have several sets of these Fireworks! LOL!! I had hidden them away a while back when I had to pack up some of my craft supplies so I need to get them out and try them. I love things that give a shimmer or sparkle to my cards!
Susan
Wonderful card! Love the butterflies (always a favorite of mine!) and the inks are spectacular! Do you know if local stores like JoAnn’s or Michael’s carry them?
Thanks,
Susan
Darlene DeVries
Hi Susan, they have the sprays at JoAnn’s – not sure about Michaels.

Beautiful card. I love your videos. You have a great voice, too! Did you get the spray ink at amazon or elsewhere?
Darlene DeVries
Hi mtk107, I got the blue sprays at JoAnn’s, but you can purchase them online too if you local store doesn’t have them.

Hi.
This is a beautiful card.
How do you get it to dry flat. When my paper is wet, it usually dries curly.
Thanks.

Hi Tammy, I find that letting the paper dry naturally, without the use of a heat gun, helps some. However, it’s still a little bit warped. But, that’s some of the charm in a handmade card, right? If it’s bad, you can always adhere that layer flat to another piece of cardstock, being sure to use adhesive all the way to the edge.
