Sending You Smiles (with new Kirarina Wink)

Hi everyone! We’ve spent the last two days trying to shovel out from the blizzard but in between, I managed to spend a bit of time in my craft room.  Now available from Imagination International are two new Kirarina Wink pens – Emerald and Violet.  I used Emerald on my project along with Old Rose, Dandelion and White Pearl. (I love them on black card stock.) You can read a bit more about the Kirarina Wink pens HERE.

I’ve used For to Us (it’s not just for Christmas!) and Sending and Wishing along with the coordinating Sending die from Simon Says Stamp. (Sending and Wishing with both dies can be purchased all together here.)

Here’s how I created my card:

1-Stamp-black

First stamp the swag onto black card stock using black ink. If your ink disappears very quickly, try another brand. Some show better than others.

2-Color-images

Use Kirarina Wink pens to trace and color the image.

3-Color-Diecut

Die-cut “Sending” from black card stock then color with Old Rose. Once dried, I colored over the die-cut a second time.

4 Adhere-diecut

Adhere beneath the colored swag.

5-Repeat-stamp-and-color

Stamp the second swag in black ink and color.

Lastly, I used my powder tool over all areas, then stamped the remainder of the sentiment in white ink and embossed with white powder.  🙂

Thanks so much for visiting today!
