Born to Sparkle Spotlight Ballerina Card and Video with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the Born to Sparkle stamp set along with the new Tiny Dancers stamp set and Sparkle Word dies.

To begin I first started off with a piece of watercolour cardstock and used a piece of masking tape, cut it to a hill shape and used the negative piece to mask off the top half of the card. I then used Pumice Stone Distress Ink to lightly blend over the bottom half of the cardstock. 

Next, I lifted the mask, replaced it with the positive piece of the mask, then used two more pieces to create a sort of upside down cone shape, going smaller from the top of the paper to wider at the bottom. This is going to create my spotlight. I used Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed to ink blend that on there. I then used the stamps from Born to Sparkle and stamped all the little shine images and stars with Mustard Seed Distress Ink over the spotlight too.

Next, I coloured up my images from Tiny Dancers using some Copic Markers and die cut them out using the coordinating dies. I adhered them down to the centre of my spotlight using foam tape and flat adhesive. Next, I die cut the Sparkle Word die cut out of some teal/aqua cardstock that I created a gradient on using some Lucky Clover Distress Ink. Once that was die cut out I added foam tape along the back. I stamped the 'You Were Born To' sentiment from the Born to Sparkle stamp set with black ink on the bottom of the panel and then adhered the Sparkle Word underneath. To finish off the card I adhered the panel to an ombre piece of patterned paper and then onto a card base.

The video I created for this card is linked down below.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you're enjoying all the inspiration using the new release!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Francine Vuilleme

Hi everyone! Francine Vuillème from 1001 CARTES here! I’m so happy to guest for Sunny Studio Stamps again this year! Many thanks to Mendi for inviting me. Today, I have two cards for you featuring the newest Spring collection. Here is what I came up with: 

For the first card, I chose to showcase the newest Sparkle word die and the Born To Sparkle stamp set. They can be combined with cute images but also used as stand-alone sentiments on a simple background. They are so versatile! I went for a colorful galaxy background using rainbow colors (as very often lol). I used watercolor paper and Winsor & Newton watercolors. Once it was dry, I splattered white ink over the panel to create the stars. I heat embossed the bigger stars with white embossing powder using the sparkly element stamps from the set. I adhered the panel to a top-folded card base created with black cardstock. I die cut the "sparkle" word and heat embossed it using golden embossing powder and fixed it to the card front using foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the Born To Sparkle set to white cardstock, cut it and fixed it to the panel with foam pads too.   

For the second card, I used the Team Player stamp set. I think that this set is AMAZING. I don’t have many sets featuring sports stamps so this is a must-have for me! I wanted to feature the beautiful cup image. I went for a clean and simple design. I created a background using a sunburst stencil. I sponged it with black Distress ink and added tiny black and white dots to create a sparkle effect. I stamped, colored and cut the cup. I adhered the image to the stenciled background and added a stamped sentiment from the set.

That’s all for me! I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting!
