Welcome to the Spellbinders Blog Hop.

My post is featuring On the Wings of Love by Joanne Fink Collection  
For my first card, I am using

These two dies are truly unique and different from any dies that I have come across.
They are artsy and full of details.
love dream create

I guess you can say that I was inspired by Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and thus, a multi-color panel. 
love dream create-002

My color choice came from a color palette photo from Pinterest.  I wanted to keep it contemporary and fresh.  After making the die cut,  I inked up each area with Distress Oxide (see links below).
love dream create
I embossed the piece with Translucent EP and then glue it to the black card stock.

love dream create-003

As for the white textures in the background? I applied the White Embossing Paste with the negative of the other die from Love Dream Create Etched Dies . I really love how it turned out.

My next card features
Shapeabilities Hearts and Butterflies Borders Etched Dies On the Wings of Love Collection by Joanne Fink

I am using my latest favorite things: alcohol inked vellum and glitter paper .

Basically, I made the die cut with the alcohol-inked vellum and Rose Gold Glitter paper.

love you more-001

I did a bit of re-assembling and rearrangement. That's it!

These are really beautiful! I love both of them. I just have to ask....where did you get the adorable wooden pencils shown with the first card? So cute!

Kirsty Vittetoe said...

Love your cards. They are so beautifully designed!

Virginia L. said...

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Keep them coming and you may WIN a prize :)

Hi Barbara, I got those cute crayon pencils in the market in Aruba's during a Caribbean cruise vacation 4 years ago. I actually have seen them in stores like Winners (here in Canada). I suppose you might see them in stores like Ross or TJ Mexx in US? Good luck in hunting them down.

Kara Lynne said...

These new dies are so cool! I love your glittery rainbow of colors and how they go so well with the words. Those hearts are just amazing in your gold and watercolor design! Beautiful and so artistic, Virginia!

Harriet said...

Your first card reminds me of 'Joseph and his many colored cloak' very different. Colorful and the sentiment is good. Your second card is so very inviting and unusual....truly super!
