Remember the 80's?

Hi Everyone! It's Judy! Do the 80's feel like just yesterday for you? For me they certainly do, and this new blend called I Love The 80's really captures all that 80's spirit! So check out my project for today.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this blend was roller skating in the 80's and a few months ago Catherine Pooler had come out with these fun stamps that I thought was just perfect. So I stamped my background using At The Rink background stamp using my Wow Embossing Pad and used Nuvo Fine Detail Embossing powder in Glacier White. I then used blending brushes to apply my Catherine Pooler inks to create my fun skate background layer. I then used a Lawn Fawn layering die to create the white frame. I then used scor-tape to attach a layer of acetate to the back of the frame. 

Next I used foam adhesive tape to create my shaker area. I then added I Love The 80's and sealed the shaker space. Next I stamped out and die cut the two pairs of roller skates that are from the Let The Good Times Roll stamp and Die sets, and added a little color with my Copics. I then added some stars from the sequin mix to my roller skates and adhered these to the frame. I then used a Happy Birthday sentiment and its matching shadow layer from Crafters Companion for my sentiment. I then adhered the sentiment and there you have it!

OMG, I Love the 80's!

Happy June! Alison here. I am super stoked to share today's card. Why? Because it uses one of my favorite Sparkle Blends ever! It's called "I Love the 80's," and it was been released on Monday, along with 6 other amazing Blends from Doodles Paper Playground. Totally rad!
The "I Love the 80's" Sparkle Blend inspired the entire card. I knew I needed to pair it with one of the OMG Sassy Girls from Sassy and Crafty. She was so much fun to color (I used my Zigs), and I made sure to use colors that were in this bright and bold Sparkle Blend.
Take a look at those fabulous colors in the Sparkle Blend! Those big yellow sequins are highlighter yellow in real life. They are huge and bright! There's different colored Fimo stars and sprinkles, turquoise gems, plenty of hot pink and black, and it's just a great big party!
For my shaker window, I took one of the masks from Sassy and Crafty's Comic Book stencil set and outlined it in pencil. Then I used a craft knife to cut it out. For my top layer's background, I used the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp along with Rina K's Poppin' Pink Glitz Glitter Gel. I'm crazy about this color! And it's so perfect with this new Sparkle Blend. Behind my shaker window, I used a piece of turquoise cardstock that I flicked with some Rose Bud Fireworks! Spray from Imagine. The "fabulous" sentiment is from Jillibean Soup. That secondary sentiment and my card base's border were colored in with Zig's florescent yellow marker.

This could be my favorite card that I've made in 2020 so far. The Sparkle Blend is so rad, the Sassy Girl is gorgeous, and all of the elements were so much fun to combine! I am stoked for you to see the rest of the brand new Sparkle Blends, which are available right now in the Sparkle Blends shop on Etsy. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
