nutmeg creations: Sneak Peaks with the Creation Station Blog Hop

The Creation Station Design and Blog Hop is back this month! I was beyond thrilled to be asked to join this group of talented women for a monthly blog hop to inspire you with creative top of the line projects with a theme from all around the globe! We hope that you hop thru each blog and leave comments as we all love to hear praise about our creations!

This month we were to show some sneak peaks of brand NEW Stampin' Up products from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. I recently had to do some Artisan projects with the Love & Affection Stamp Set so I decided to do just one more card with the same stamp set. I also wanted to use two of the NEW 2016-2018 In-Colors: Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.

Some of my favorite things on this card:

I used strips of the striped pattern paper from the Neutrals Collection DSP.

I stamped in a random pattern the images in the Love & Affection Stamp set is a circular formation in the center of the card.

I embossed the greeting from the You've Got This Stamp set in Gold Embossing Powder.

I added a few loops of the Gold Metallic Thread behind the Basic Black cardstock square.

I took my Wink of Stella in Gold and flicked some of it on the card for splatter across the card.

So I had added the top layer on the card before I decide to add the splatter and I did not want it get on the strips. I used the Floral Affection TIEF to cover the strips and then added the Wink of Stella splatter. You gotta do what you gotta do!
