Studio Katia 2nd Birthday Celebration Blog Hop + Giveaway

 
Hi there guys! Welcome to my stop of the Studio Katia second birthday celebration! You should have arrived from Amy Kolling‘s blog.
 
I am super excited to be here celebrating Katia’s 2nd birthday, I was so excited I made two cards with the new release!
 
First up is this floral beauty
 
 



I wanted to use the newest Chunky Confetti Glitter, and I thought the outer layer of this card would be awesome to add. 




I used tombow adhesive on the card base, added my chunky glitter just on the edge. 




Then I stamped the center cardstock with the Lovely Blooms stamp in light pink. Then heat embossed the sentiment from the same set. 


  
On a separate cardstock, I stamped, colored and hand cut the Lovely Blooms image and placed that over the white panel. To finish up, I added a bit of glitter Nuvo drops to the center of the florals. 


 
For my second card, I wanted to make a square card!
 
 
To make this I used the Brush Stroke Wave stencil, with gray and pink ink, blending those into each other.  For the Seashell Shaker, I die cut it out of pink cardstock. The inner part I used clear Nuvo Drops and for the outer part for the shell I used glitter Nuvo. Once those were dried up, I place those on the center of the card.

 

 
The mer-people were colored with Copics. I thought the tails needed to be super special, so I used the Dots Chunky Glitter.
 

 



The sentiment was then heat embossed with silver powder




The outer edge of my card panel was decorated with Copic dots that matched the tails of my mermaids.




 I am specially fond of these guys, they are super cute!
