Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko + Magenta Blog Hop

Magenta_badge 



 Welcome to a week of fantastic collaboration between IMAGINE Crafts and Magenta Rubber Stamps! Both companies are excited to share with you their products, from the latest inks from IMAGINE Crafts to the newest Fall and Holiday stamp releases from Magenta.    


   



I picked Magenta's new and pretty phrase  and Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Ink and tools for making FROZEN effect.


Supplies

MAGENTA

Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko
Kaleidacolor - Blue Breeze
Inkportion No.9
Memento Luxe - Wedding Dress
Jumbo Dauber
VersaMark Dazzle - Champagne
Embossing Powder - Sparkle
Memento - Danube Blue
Goosebumps Texture Spray

Other
Plastic snowflakes - unknown
kid's painting brush
Watercolor paper (block type)
Spellbinder - Nestabilities die



How To

Using Snowflake Mask, apply Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze with brush

Slightly move the mask, add more colors.

Apply colors unevenly - make some dark and light spots for more dimention

spray InkPortion No.9 all over, and make one big puddle for focus point.
 Let it dry completely.
Add Memento Luxe Wedding Dress over the spot to make it more frost-ish.

Trim the paper 5 1/4" square.  Cover inked potion, apply Goosebumps for texture.
Let it dry

Unfortunately, camera can't catch the effect much,
but for sure there is ice-like finish over white area.

On another cardstock, stamp the words with VersaMark Dazzle,
then heat emboss with Sparkle powder.
Then Apply Memento Danube Blue over it.

Die cut the stamped word.  Make slightly bigger piece with white card stock


Assemble card.  Ive added some plastic snowflake pieces here and there, and the tiny ribbon at the corner.
Folded card base is from Magenta also.
Finished card is 6 x 6 inches

This Blog Hop means me a lot.  Since I started stamping about 20 years ago, Magenta is the top stamp manufacture to me all the time.
Always elegant, always beautiful. always wanting more stamps from them.
I hope this card is qualified for Magenta style.

  4. Kazuko, you always amaze me. You do more than honor to Magenta with this beautiful card. All of the techniques you've used make a marvelous card for the holidays. I really like the texturing for the icy snowy look, and the overall effect in the background. Framing the sentiment stamp the way that you did is perfect!
