Stampendous Brings on the Bling

(Hello crafty people.  If you are looking for my Waltzingmouse Stamps Challenge card, please scroll down below this post.)

It's the very first Saturday of the month and it also just happens to be the first Saturday of the year, and that means the fabulous ladies at Stampendous have a brand new challenge to share with you to get your mojo runnin’.  This month we are all about bringing in the New Year with BLING!  Glitter, rhinestones, sparkly stickers...you name it. 

My project is one considered a “SNEAK PEEKS” of sorts because it contains stamp image and other product that will be available at the end of January, all of which will be revealed at CHA in Anaheim, January 29-Feb. 1.  Are you ready?  Let’s get to it.

My blingy project today highlights a new set from Stampendous called Corset Ladies.  If you enjoy images from an era bygone, you will love this set.  I die cut the long classic rectangle die and then sponged Scattered Straw Distress Ink around the edges of the die cut before removing the die from the cardstock, giving me a nice white border around the die cut. I stamped my image using VersaMark ink and then I sprinkled on Aged Aqua Embossing Enamel – another new product from Stampendous that is sure to add texture and dimension to your projects. 

Sponge on Old Papers Distress Ink on patterned paper, and die cut the Eyelet Pendant from the Cool Mint card stock and inked edges with Old Paper Distress Ink and used a distressing tool on the edges of my mat bases. 

To finish my embellishments I added my swirly, pearl embellishment below the focal image and on top of my patterned paper layers and attach Sage and Chiffon Color fragments (another sneak peek at some great new product) around bottom of rose using white craft glue.
