Technique Junkies New Release!

Today's cards feature #S947 BoHo Dots Background.  The design is flowing circles of many size dots great for any type of background.  For this first card, I used some stencil brushes and pounced color directly on to the stamp  with Lavinia Inks. You can use any kind of juicy ink!

Next, I used one of the inks to create a vignette around the outside edge. I used another TJ stamp SD717 Never Stop Flying from my massive stash of TJ stamps and stamped that down on to some Bristol Smooth card stock.  I used a die to cut it into an oval shape and then painted the wings with the same colors from the background. I used some of the wet ink to splatter some color all over then created a vignette around that as well.

I glued some foam that I cut out to the back of the oval then glued that down to the background. I then glued it all to a white card base.

For this card I used some Catherine Pooler inks and tamped them on with stencil brushes as well, but this time I used the stamping platform because I planned to do another step with embossing.  Once the first layer was dried, I stamped again with Versamark ink and then embossed with Catherine Pooler and WOW Halo embossing powder.  

Next I used some spray stains to add color to the background and dried thoroughly.  I used the Magical die from my stash and cut it out three times in white and once in holographic paper and glued them all together to add dimension. I cut out the shadow layer in some silver glitter paper and glued it down to the background.  I cut a mat layer with the same holographic paper and glued the background down to it then glued those down to a pink card base.  Last, I glued the Magical word down and added some confetti to finish off the magical look!

Here is a video for you to see the process.
