Dandelion Wishes & Black Ice Technique

for my January, 2019 Hostess Club Project

The Black Ice Technique is so easy, and all of my wonderful Hostess Club members will have the opportunity to make this at our meeting on January 24, 2019.

Want to learn the Black Ice Technique, and are not a member of my hostess club, just Google "Stampin' Up! Black Ice Technique" and there are lots of videos on YouTube.

Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Basic Black scored at 4 1/4. 
• The background on the 5 1/4 x 4 Grapefruit Grove layer is made by stamping baby dandelions with Grapefruit Grove ink.
• The next Basic Black piece is 4 1/2 x 3 1/2. The bottom edge is hand torn.
• The Basic Gray layer is 4 1/4 x 3 1/4.  The bottom edge is hand torn.
• The Grapefruit Grove foil (free with a $50.00 purchase until 3/31/19) is 3 x 3, and stamped with a stamp from Dandelion Wishes and Black Stazon ink. Next, lightly swipe a Stazon ink pad over the stamped image.  Next, light swipe a Versamark pad over the image, sprinkle with clear embossing powder, heat, and use dimensionals to adhere to your card front.
• The words from Itty Bitty Greetings are stamped with Stazon Black Ink on a 2 1/4 x 1/2 piece of Whisper White, and the Grapefruit Grove base under the words is 2 1/2 x 3/4. (Tip: A dedicated cleaning pad & Stazon cleaner is needed for Stazon inked stamps.)
• The three pearls are colored with a Smoky Slate Blend.
• All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.

Guest Designer,

Better Together & Botanical Butterfly DSP 

I used the free Botanical Butterfly DSP and the Better Together stamp set to create this "anything you want it to be card".
I am offering it at both of my January 2019 classes.
Recipe:

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Balmy Blue scored at 4 1/4. 
• The Basic Black layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Grapefruit Grove layer is 5 x 3.
• The 5 x 2 top layer of the dsp, and the 5 x 1 1/4 layers of Basic Black, Balmy Blue, and dsp are cut with a die from Seasonal Layers Thinlits.
• The Balmy Blue ribbon is part of the free (with a $50.00 purchase) Organdy Combo Pack.
• The words from Better Together are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
• The little wooden butterfly element is also a free item (with a $50.00 purchase).  It is stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and a stamp from Butterfly Gala.  Stamping the element is really not necessary, just sayin'.  I was having so much fun, I couldn't help myself.
• All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.
