Sweet Stamps- Anything Goes+ Parchment Technique

At Sweet Stamps, we are combining our Monthly challenge- Parchment- with our weekly challenge- Anything Goes : )
 These fun stamps were just released last month and I was itching to ink them up!  I used the antistatic pad over the Parchment vellum and used the Sweet Stamps White Dye ink and White embossing powder on the flowers. I colored with Copics on the back of the vellum, and it gave the flowers a greenish hue, so I colored them again on the front. I pierced around the edges of the vellum as well. I love the soft look of the Parchment vellum.

  The accent pieces are chipboard accents called *GLOBECRAFT & PICCOLO*  by Sweetstamps.com, and I love how detailed they are and easy to emboss using the enamel embossing adhesive- and I love the fab embossing enamels- the colors are so pretty plus they are mixed in with a shimmery/glittery metallic- love the way they look!

Here is a quick look at how quick & easy the Enamel embossing powders are to use- and hope you can see the fab sparkle  )
 Dab the Enamel Embossing Powder Adhesive onto the swirls.

 After gently rolling the powder in the bottle, I pour it over the chipboard using a coffee filter. Can you see how sparkly it is???  I take a piece of the chipboard sheet that is unused after removing the shapes and make a sample and attach it to the top of each of the bottles- you can see this in my adhesive picture above.

Here are the Sweet Stamps products I used this week:

Love the way the flowers turned out on the vellum, Shelly! I have to dig out my embossing powders. I was reorganizing and put them in a box somewhere because I hadn't used them in ages. Now I'm inspired to do some vellum work. Thanks for the inspiration.

So lovely, Shelly! The blue, yellow combination is so very sweet. Thanks for sharing how you apply your piccolo items as well...they are a perfect touch!

Great card Shelley, love the baby blue card against your patterned papers. The embossing on the vellum really stands out and the green really pops.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us at Crafting When We Can Challenges. :-) xx
