Tonic Studios Chalkboard Die & Stamp Sets - Card Share

Hello blogging friends!  Today, I have two cards to share with you using a couple of the New Chalkboard Die and Stamp Sets from Tonic Studios.  There are three sets in this collection -- Birthday Wishes, It’s Your Big Day, and Special Occasion.  These sets are prefect for card making and all of your DIY projects.

Here is a look at the first card I designed.  I used the 1099E It's Your Big Day Indulgence Chalkboard Die & Stamp Set and 485E Mixed Oval Layering from Tonic Studios.  The card base in an A2 top folding card.  I die cut the sentiment and decorative oval using white pearl shimmer paper and then I die cut the label and oval shape using black cardstock.  

I rubbed a little White Pigment Ink on to the black label and then buffed off the excess ink with a paper towel.  Doing this gives the black paper a chalkboard look.  I used the Nuvo 203N Nuvo Glue Pen Medium to adhere the sentiment to the label shape.  Then I used a couple of pieces of craft foam as backing for the label and decorative oval shape.  I used the Nuvo 650N Crystal Drops Gloss - Ebony Black to embellish around the edges of the card.  The crystal drops look similar to pearls or enamel dots.

To finish off the card I added a few Wild Orchid Craft Flowers.

Here is a look at the second card I designed.  For this card I used 1098E Special Occasion Indulgence Chalkboard Die & Stamp Set and 484E Mixed Rectangles Layering Die Set.  To start I stamped the sentiments twice on to white paper with VersaMark Ink and then heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder.  

I fussy cut one set of the sentiments--the top and bottom pieces of the sentiment.  Then I layered the pieces using Foam Squares.  To add a bit of color I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens to do a light watercolor wash and color the tiny images--heart, flower and butterfly.  I layered the label shape on to the decorative vine label.  I also used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens on the tiny vines.  To embellish the card I added pink and aqua rhinestones.

I used the 484E Mixed Rectangles Layering Die Set to die cut a couple of layers of white, and aqua cardstock and then layered everything on to an A2 top folding card.
