Good morning! I’m so excited to be helping Colorado Craft Company celebrate a year of offering exclusive Anita Jeram designs to the stamping community! Today I have two very different cards using some of the new release stamps!
First I stamped the adorable mouse and sentiment from A Star is Born with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. I also stamped a mask, fussy cut it, and placed it over the mouse. Then I blended spun sugar, kitsch flamingo, shaded lilac, blueprint sketch, and prize ribbon distress oxide ink over the background. I also added a little hickory smoke at the bottom to ground my scene. I splattered the panel with water, shimmer spray, and white gouache and let it dry completely.
Once it was dry I removed the mask and colored the mouse with copic markers. I used R00 and R02 for the ears and feet; T1, T3, T5 for the mouse; and Y00, Y11, and Y13 for the star. I added a thin layer of nuvo crystal glaze to the star and then sprinkled it with prisma and chunky glitter to finish the card.
For my second card I sprayed a panel of distress cardstock with distress oxide sprays in cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon, and black soot. I let the panel blend together and then once it was dried I added additional splatters of black soot, white gouache, and shimmer spray. Once that was dry I added splatters of gold and pearl metallic paint for additional stars.
Next I stamped the mouse from Twinkle Little Star and the stars from Falling Star with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. I colored them with copic markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I used R00, R02, E40, E70, E71, and E74 for the mouse and the same yellow copics for the stars. I stamped a sentiment from Falling Star with versamark and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder before adhering the mouse and stars. Finally I added a little more nuvo crystal glaze and glitter to the stars to finish the card!

The touches of glitter really make these cards shine!!! I always enjoy seeing what you create.
Sherry W says
All of the sets are so sweet. Your cards are lovely. I like how you used spatters for stars – it is still bling-y, but without pesky glitter to gluing on sequins one by one. It’s a great card.
