Hello and welcome to day 3 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. You are just going to love this release! It's my favorite release from Emma ever, and I've been on the DT since day one. :) Ok, on to my card... I started by cutting letters with the new Lower Case Fun Dies with Post It Craft paper. It's sticky like a Post It note. I then arranged them and stuck them to a tag from the Tag Dies set from MyCreativeTime. I then inked over it like crazy with peacock feathers distress ink and my inking tool.
After it's all inked up I sprayed it with a mixture of perfect pearls and water in a mini mister. I zapped it with my heat gun to dry it. And then peeled up the letters to reveal the white underneath. And here's my finished card....
I stamped my background with the dotted circle and regular circle from the new Vintage Label Stamps set from MyCreativeTime. I stamped the label shape from the Vintage Label Stamps onto white cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I inked it up with peacock feathers distress ink. I cut it out and mounted it on to the Vintage Label Die.
I stamped the "miss" from the Vintage Label Sentiments onto the Stitched Circle Die and white heat embossed it. It's actually the word "missing" but I masked off the rest. I used the U from the new die called Lower Case Fun set. I added glossy accents over top to finish it off.
