Stamp Review Crew: Rays of Light

 



Hello and welcome to the latest Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop!   Our international crew highlights one Stampin' Up stamp set on each blog hop.  Hops are the first and third Mondays of the month and are a great way to get lots of ideas for using a set!   Click on the banner below to see a complete list of Crew members and see all the past hops which we keep active.  

 

We are using the very cool background stamp Rays of Light for this edition.  I am looking forward to seeing what the crew members create as this stamp has oodles of possible ways it can be used.

Our daughter-in-law and I had a chance to spend an afternoon together in the craft room.  What a fun time!  As she had never heat embossed we pulled out different powders and stuff to experiment.  She came up with the very neat background for this card by using clear embossing powder, various markers and then spritzing it with water.  



It created a groovy tye-dye effect.  Since we know a special someone who has a big selection of tye-dye shirts and socks it was perfect for a hip Father's Day card.  

TIPS for creating this effect:  First heat emboss the rays with clear embossing powder on white cardstock.   Then scribble random sections with Stampin' Write Markers.  (Three colors were used here.)  When scribbling don't completely fill in the white areas.   Then spritz with water.  After the colors have bled together a bit blot with a paper towel. 


I tried to get a photo to show the clear embossing a bit better.   The stamp is created with a distressed effect for the rays really giving this a unique look.    


Thanks so much for hopping with us!  Have a lovey sunshiny day!
