Visible Image - Phoenix Rises in Pink & Gold

Have you seen the beautiful new Visible Image stamps being released this month? This was the first card I made using this awesome set. I really enjoy making bright backgrounds with black silhouettes so it was always going to be bright and blingy with a super dark phoenix.  I got to dip into my collection of sparkly paint and embossing powders. A very happy crafting afternoon 💖

I cut a piece of white card to about 7" x 7", grabbed a water spritzer and a collection of fiery coloured paint powders.

I used Cosmic Shimmer Shakers in Raspberry Rose, Rich Wine, Tangy Tangerine and Nuvo Shimmers in Catherine Wheel, Cherry Bomb and Sunray Crossette.

I gave the card a light spritz to catch the powders and then tapped a little colour from each bottle in different sections of the card.
Then started spritzing water to activate the powders

A little more water and the pigments burst into colour.

Dried with a heat gun and the mica really shines.

I trimmed the card down to about 6" x 6" getting a couple of strips for the sentiments.

 

I  patted an anti static bag over the dry card,  stamped the flames around the edges and then heat embossed with Stampendous holographic gold powder.

I stamped the Phoenix with Black Versafine Clair ink using my stamping platform a few times to get a solid coverage then heat embossed it with Wow black glint embossing powder.

Feeling really happy with how this is turning out 😊

I poured a little black gesso into a scrap foil tin and then dabbed a little around the edges of the card using a sponge.

I watered down the black gesso and flicked a little over the card.

I stamped the sentiments onto the strips in black and heat embossed with clear powder.

I cut a triangle out of the left hand side of the WE RISE sentiment and matted them both onto black card.

I added white highlights to the sentiment and doodled around the edges with a gold sparkle pen.

I outlined the phoenix with a white gel pen to make it pop.

Finally I mounted my card and attached the sentiments.

I hope you have enjoyed this project, thanks for stopping by,
