The winner can email them to claim his/her prize :) Now let's take a look at what I have created for you today. Keeping with my blog hop tradition, I have created three different looks for you featuring a bunch on new products, and all of them feature the Lines Background, designed by my crafty pal Miriam Prantner.
For the first card, I used the Lined Background and embossed it using Hero Arts White Satin Pearl embossing powder. Then I added some of the brand new Eucalyptus Stem Foil Plate and Dies which I foiled in gold and colored in with Copic Markers. I added a bit of gold splatter using Tim Holtz Distress Foundry Wax mixed with alcohol and a splatter brush. I finished the card with a sentiment from the XL Spring Greetings set that was embossed in gold.
For my second card, I went all out with the Lined Background and colored each line with my Karin markers, spritzed the colored stamp with a Distress Sprayer and then stamped it onto Distress Watercolor cardstock. I cut the panel using the Wonky Rectangles dies . To finish the card, I used a sentiment from the new Time to Party set, don't you just love that font? And I added three little embellishments made from the hat toppers in the Time to Party set to make it pop, I cut them from black card stock and went over them with a Wink of Stella pen.
For my final card, I went Copper on Soft Navy cardstock. I embossed the Lined Background in Copper. I added the new Sketched Leaf Branches Hot Foil Plate that I foiled in Copper Glimmer Foil to coordinate, and then added a sentiment from the XL Love Greetings that I embossed with Copper embossing powder.
I hope you enjoyed the three different looks for this new Lined Background stamp. Let me know which one is your favorite! The next stop on the hop is the amazing Yoonsun Hur!
