These projects feature the brand new Gull-Friends Set  from  Art Impressions . These projects are featured on the  Art Impressions  blog today as well, check it out  here .   All of my projects feature the same scrapbook paper and background design theme. To create the textured background I used kraft cardstock, Vintage Photo distress ink, and the starfish stamp. I used my Copic alcohol markers to color the seagulls.

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I'm sharing two creations I made using my Glimmer Hot Foil System from Spellbinders . Check out the Glimmer Hot Foil collection here . Project 1  I wanted to give my first card more of an elegant look so I went with a pink, coral and gold color scheme. First, I ink blended the ombre background with Tattered Rose, Kitsch Flamingo, and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide inks on to a 3.5" x 5" piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. Once the background was dry, I used the Slimline Confetti Background hot foil plate with Gold Matte Foil to create the rising confetti look. Next, I used the "Congratulations" plate from the Essential Glimmer Sentiments hot foil plate set with the same Gold Matte Foil  to create a 0.5" x 4.25" sentiment strip on black cardstock. I adhered the sentiment strip and the smaller card panel to the A2 sized white card base with double sided foam adhesive for extra dimension.  Project 2 Fo
