ICS July Blog Hop Sale-a-brations

Welcome to the ICS July Blog Hop as we celebrate the new Sale-a-brations catalog and all the amazing new products that you can earn for free with a qualifying order. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative for the Summer. 

It was so hard to choose which Sale-a-bration product I wanted to showcase. I finally decided to use one of the designs from the Gold & Silver 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to create the background for my card design. You can choose this beautiful paper pack for free during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying $50 order. One of the great things about this pretty paper is that you can color it in a variety of ways. For my card design, I decided to use Orchid Oasis and Tahitian Tide Classic inks with Blending Brushes to create this wonderful background.

For this card design, I used Blending Brushes to create the beautiful background. I started with Tahitian Tide Classic ink, starting in the center of the Silver Polka Dot piece of designer series paper, and worked my way out towards the edges. Then I blended Orchid Oasis Classic ink from the outside edges, especially at the corners, towards the middle. For my focal image, I stamped the cute little gnome onto Basic White cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die. Using Stampin' Blends Markers, I colored in the image to coordinate with the background. I attached the gnome to the Starry Sky circle and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. for the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder onto Starry Sky cardstock and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added several small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to make it sparkle. I just love how the silver polka dots on the design series paper pop against the blended background and give the impression of falling snow. This card design would work well for a variety of occasions for the Winter months.
