Well the alligator didn't really swallow my hand but I had to have some really good reason as to why I haven't posted on my blog for so long and I thought that would get your attention. LOL!!
My husband and I went to visit our son and 3 yr old granddaughter in Sweden. We have been back for a month but between having company and other commitments, I kept putting the blog on the back burner. So today I'm going to try to make up for my long absence.
First, please indulge me while I brag on my little granddaughter by posting one photo...I can't resist. She's a happy little girl and I already miss her sooooo much.
We've been having a lot of fun in Stampers Club. I have three current clubs...two of them meet in the evening and one during the day. If you would be interested in joining a club and receiving free hostess products enjoy hands on projects each month and be introduced to the newest product, email me at carolyn@oh2bstampin.com.
This card was made with the Diamond Dust Technique. The Bermuda Bay ribbon is from the new In Color Polka Dot Collection. It was attached with one of the clips from our Clip Collection. The stamp set is For All You Do and I also used a Texturz Plate to create the dry embossing on the background.
To recreate the Diamond Dust technique, stamp the image on cardstock. Cover the entire image with Versamark. Sprinkle with Iridescent Embossing Powder and emboss with heat tool.
This was a fun card to make but I am not the original creator. I saw this card on someone's blog and the first thing I thought when I saw the black dots was "I didn't know we had a polka dot stamp." Then I realized we don't...can you guess how they were created?? The stamp set used in this card is Eastern Blooms but the stem came from a different set...I think For All You Do if I remember right but you can use any stem to recreate.
