Stampendous Is Playing With Imagine Crafts

This week Stampendous has been playing with neon inks and neon Amplify that Imagine Crafts so generously sent our Design Team.  And as an added bonus, this is sneak peek week for the NEW January 2016 catalog!!  Today I'm sharing a card using images and stencils from the January catalog!

We have prizes! Three lucky commenters will receive a prize package that includes:

• 1 Radiant Neon Ink Pad and Ink Refill
• 1 Color Fragments Jar
• a Creative Palette Rectangles Set

See Official Contest Rules for details.

The background was made using the Creative Palette Rectangles and Radiant Neon Electric Pink pigment ink refill.  Several things I love about using these products together are, when using the Creative Palette you will get several generations of backgrounds from one inking.  The other is when using the Electric Pink pigment ink instead of acrylic paint, it dries almost instantly so you don't have to wait to start creating. Here is how my card was made.

1.  Apply several drops of Electric Pink ink to the Creative Palette Rectangle, spread with a brayer and stamp into it with a clean squares stamp (it comes with the Creative Palette Rectangles) to remove the ink.  Lay a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Mixed Media White Paper onto the Palette and lightly rub the back of the paper then remove.

2 .  Now ink the squares stamp with Electric Pink ink and randomly stamp the panel several times without reinking.
3.  Randomly place the Petite Fern Stencil on the panel and sponge with the same ink and repeat.

4.  Stamp Happy Memories on Mixed Media White Paper with Tuxedo Black VersaFine, tear the edges and sponge with brown ink.
5.  Trace "Happy" with Radiant Neon Amplify in Electric Green and Electric Pink then heat with a heat gun until it raises.  Set aside.
6.  Die cut Leafy Branch Die and Petite Fern Die from paper inked the same as above except using Electric Green and Electric Yellow Radiant Neon pigment inks.
7.  Glue pieces down as shown using Zip Dry Glue.

8.  Now for the final touch add Pink Dot Sparklers to the corner of the card and to the leaf at the bottom.  I LOVE these Dot Sparklers and I really think I need to go to Dot Sparklers Anonymous to deal with my obsession with them.  But really they look great on everything!!

                                                                                                                                                       Now take a look at what the other Stampendous Design Team Members have for you today!

Rain Dance

Today's card, uses the Creative Palette from Stampendous! to make the background, using Radiant Neon re-inkers.  This process was so much fun and the possibilities are endless!!  Here is how it was made.

1.  The background paper was made using the Creative Palette Rectangles.  Radiant Neon reinkers in Electric Pink and Electric Purple were squeezed onto the Palette and brayered.  The squares were stamped into it without ink to remove the ink from the Palette to get the lighter shade.  Then white cardstock was placed on the Palette and rubbed before removed to dry.
2.  Stamp Rain Dance from Stampendous onto paper with Memento ink and apply Dot Sparklers to the umbrella.
3.  Sprinkle the upper left corner with Spoonful of Gold Dust from Stampendous, and heat from underneath so it doesn't blow away.
4.  Layer onto black paper and mount to a gold card.

Tea Time

Break out the frou frou! For the month of February, the Dream Team are going Frilly and Fabulous! Vintage, retro, or modern, adding extra charm with fun Fran•tagéproducts from Stampendous, ribbons and lace from May Arts, buttons, crystals, charms, or even creating your own dimensional decor! A snippet or a pile, whatever your creative heart desires! Remember to link your creations using the Inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog for a chance to win the stencil of your choice! Bonus points for using Dreamweaver and/or Stampendous product in your work of heart.

Here's what I've been playing with:

1.  Die cut DG681 Nested Teacups (the middle size, it comes in a set of three) out of pink paper, stamp with Floral Tapestry, emboss with Ivory embossing powder and color with Distress markers then sponges edges with pink ink.  Set aside.
2.  NK Studio Kaffee Klatsch set has some great designs that work perfectly as a doily. One of the stamps was stamped onto tan paper with Shabby Pink embossing powder and cut out.  Set aside.
3.  The background paper was made using the Creative Palette Rounds with two shade of pink paint from Deco Art.  When dry sponge copper paint from Deco Art on LX7028 I Beams.  Let dry.
4.  Now for a little Frantage, sprinkle Shabby Pink embossing enamel onto the background paper being careful not to use to much or you won't be able to see the image.  Heat from underneath the paper so the powder doesn't blow off.
5.  Glue lace to panel (all layers glued with Zip Dry Glue) and layer on the stamped doily, a skeleton leaf that has been embossed with Jeweled Gold embossing powder.
6.  Glue feathers to the underneath of the teacup, tie tag that has been stamped with the small doily stamp in Beige Brilliance and words from Angel Wings Quotes Perfectly Clear Set in Black Versafine ink. Tie to teacup and glue to card.
