Hi there! I’m back again with another project using some of the new releases from STAMPlorations. My card features the Hashtag Authentic stamp set as well as the Leaf Print stencil.
I love the design on the Leaf Print stencil. I had some fun mixing my white embossing paste with Distress inks.
Such a gorgeous ombre effect you get when the colors blend together.
I stamped part of the sentiment in black and embossed the top part in white on black cardstock. To finish it off I added some loose silver thread and glossy accent dots.
Make sure and stop by the STAMPlorations blog to see more inspiration using these fun new products, and leave a comment for your chance to win some fun prizes!

In other news…I have a project & video up on the Simon Says Stamp blog today, too! I’m sharing some fun ways to use up those pattern papers and do some stitching on your cards.
Head over to the Simon Says Stamp blog to see the whole shebang:)

Love how you did the embossing paste and got so much color in it. Love that stencil stuff too.
I is taking everything I have not to jump on the Embossing paste photo–YUM! Now when you scraped off the paste with your palette knife did you do it on an angle or straight down and it looks fairly thin?
Oooh, love the colours with the distress. Must try that. And the multiple colours of paste. What fun. The black on white and white on black sentiment is fab. And while I’m gushing, the glossy accent dots are super. I liked all your stitched hearts over at Simon Says Stamp as well. HUGZ
