Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink Blending & Rubbernecker Stamps New Spring Release

 Today we are celebrating Rubbernecker Stamps' awesome new spring release!  There are lots of fun new stamp and die sets in several different styles--check them out here!

I made this card using one of the new release stamps called Bird/Rose Background Strip set.  There are actually two stamps in this set and I'll be sharing another card with the rose stamp soon!

First I inked up a panel of white card stock with the NEW, and beautiful, Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink.  I just received my order of the Oxides and Distress inks and sprays and just had to use these on a card!  Be sure the ink is dry before the next step!

Next I used an anti-static powder pouch before stamping the Rose Background Strip stamp with Versamark ink.  I sprinkled on some gold embossing powder and heat set it.  I trimmed the piece to 2-¼" x 5-¼".  I adhered a strip of gold mirror card stock to the right edge and added foam tape to the back.

For the card base, I just sprayed a few squirts of Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide spray across the panel.  When it was dry, I adhered the heat embossed piece to the card base.

I used the You Script w/Shadow die for my sentiment.  The You is die cut four times and the layers are adhered together with glue before adhering it to the gold mirror shadow layer.  I used a sentiment from the Sweetest Sunrise set and partially stamped the "you make my day" (with Versamark) by covering the "you" with tape while inking.  I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.  To finish up, I carefully added a few gold spatters to the card around the sentiment area.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
