MCT Hop

Hello! I hope you're enjoying the hop! You should have arrived from Nancy's blog, but if you didn't, head to Emma's blog to start at the beginning. For this first card I stamped the chicken wire from the new set called Spring Chicken Backgrounds. I added color with shabby shutters distress ink. I used the cute egg dies that come with the Hello Spring set. Onto that I stamped the flowers also from the Hello Spring set. I heat embossed the with clear embossing powder and used broken china distress ink to add color. 

I used my iRock tool to add the gems to the egg. The sentiment is from the Color Me Happy set from MyCreativeTime...........and onto my other card {that is one of my favorites ever!}

For this one I stamped the floral background from the Spring Chicken Backgrounds onto patterned paper {Yours Truly by Echo Park} and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I added color over that with pumice stone distress ink. This darkens the areas that do NOT have embossing powder and makes the colors underneath pop! You can see the effect better here...

See the clear embossing shine?! Looks really pretty in real life! I white heat embossed the sentiment from the new set called Hello Spring. Ok, that's it for me.......
