Social Stamping Blog Host - Rainbows

Hello and welcome,

Today, from the Social Stampers we are sharing our creations with the theme “Rainbows” for this week. I just love Rainbows! They bring a smile to my face and the colours are just gorgeous together. When my family and I go out for walks around our neighborhood, I've seen lots of hand drawn Rainbows in the windows of houses or on the footpath. Children have been drawing them and displaying their creations which makes everyone's day that little bit happier.

I feel that Rainbows bring us magic and that’s why I’ve used the unicorn stamp from the Leave A Little Sparkle Stamp Set. I think the two go nicely together. What do you think? I’ve used the embossed resist technique with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and heat set with the Heat Tool.

I spritzed water with the Stampin’ Spritzer onto the watercolor paper and then I added the colours to the paper. The colours I’ve used are Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. I've used three clear blocks for the ink and I added like colours together on the block. The yellows together, blue & green together and purples together. I used the Aqua Painter, applied the ink to the watercolor paper and blending the colours until I was happy.

I’ve added some sequins to the card using the rainbow colours, the sentiment is in White Stampin’  Emboss Powder and heat set onto Basic Black Cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Pigment Sprinkles Unicorn Card

Welcome to my first card using the Pigment Sprinkles and Leave a Little Sparkle Stamp Set. This card was created for my daughter who just loves Unicorns and Galaxies, I think she’s going to like it.

The Pigment Sprinkles comes in six vibrant colours, I used four of the colours – Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo. A good tip is to cover two of the holes with Washi Tape to control less powder onto your paper or block.

Pigment Sprinkles

Leave a Little Sparkle Stamp Set

To create my galaxy background I heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder with the tiny stars stamp which is from the Little Twinkle Stamp Set onto a piece of Watercolor Paper. Then the fun begins with first using your Stampin’ Spritzer spray water lightly onto the Watercolor paper and then add a little of the four colours until you are happy. I then used my Aqua Painter to mix the colours together. 

While the galaxy card piece was drying, I started on my unicorn using a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock I stamped the unicorn image in Versmark and sprinkled Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I also did this for the sentiment as well. The unicorn was coloured in with Pigment Sprinkles using Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay. To add a little sparkle, I used Wink of Stella and coloured in the unicorn.

In another Stampin’ Spritzer I put Rubbing Alcohol and a couple of drops of Frost White Shimmer Paint and spritzed onto Gorgeous Grape card base. I also did this with a piece of Bermuda Bay and the dried galaxy panel. To finish off my card I placed the pieces of Cardstock together to my liking, adhered the unicorn and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the backing of the sentiment.

Thank you for coming along and seeing my card today. I’ve already created more cards using the Pigment Sprinkles and I’ll be sharing them with you very soon.

Happy Crafting,

Vicki Boucher
