SSS Holiday Sparkle Release BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Holiday Sparkle release Blog Hop! You can check Day one here. Also, make sure you read until the end if you want to know how to participate in a giveaway!

¡Hola a todos! Bienvenidos al segundo día del blog hop celebrando la colección de Simon Says Stamp "Holiday Sparkle". Podéis ver el día one aquí. Además, os recomiendo leer hasta el final para conocer todos los detalles y cómo participar en un sorteo.

You Are My Joy


For my card today I used the "Retro Layering Christmas Berries" stencil and "You are my Joy" die. I applied color with Distress Oxide Inks to a piece of white cardstock and then used the stencil on top of it applying a bit more pressure. For the second part of the stencil, the one with the details, I used embossing paste, although it didn't turn out exactly the way I intended. I expected it to stay white, but since Distress colors are water-based, they blended with the paste. Still liked the result though :). 

Para mi tarjeta de hoy he usado el esténcil "Retro Layering Christmas Berries"  y el troquel "You are my Joy". He aplicado color con tintas Distress Oxide sobre un trozo de cartulina blanca y después he usado el esténcil por encima, aplicando un poco más de presión al aplicar la tinta. Para la segunda parte del esténcil, la de los detalles, he usado pasta de embosado, aunque no ha quedado exáctamente como yo quería. Esperaba que se quedara de color blanco, pero al tener las tintas Distress base de agua, se than mezclado un poco los colores con la pasta. Me gusta el resultado igualmente :).

    I think the way the paste picked up the colors look fantastic! White would have still looked good too, and tied in with the die cut, but may have been too bold and taken away from the message. Sometimes we get lucky when things turn out slightly differently than we expected! Great job!

    I appreciate how you used non-holiday colors to do the background ink blending. Even though it's a holly berry folder, this shows how it can be used for other occations.

    I do love the look of paste, but I havent shopped for any because I cant imagine which color I would get. Then poof I didn't know they would bleed/blend, wonderful information and I love the change it gives to the texture in COLOR, yummy, I love it.
