Stamping with JoJo: InKing Royalty March Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty's March Blog Hop! During this year's blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. Hop, hop! This month's projects celebrate Easter, so prepare yourself for a variety of gorgeous, Easter-themed projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I don't have any cute little bunny or Easter egg stamps, but that didn't stop me - I think it actually enhanced my creativity, having to design something out of the box. And boy did I ever have fun!

I chose two of the Sale-a-Bration papers from the 2nd release - they are so versatile! You'll want to place an order so you can get one or both of these Level 1 products.

Here's how it's made:

Start with a base of Thick Whisper White cut to 8.5" x 5.5", scored on the long side at 4.25" and burnished with your bone folder along the fold
Cut a piece of Purple Posy So Very Vellum Specialty DSP (available as a Level 1 SAB reward) to 4" x 5.25"
Squeeze a generous amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue onto your Silicone Craft Sheet. Use a wedge from a Stampin' Sponge to pick up some glue and spread it onto the back of the vellum in a thin, even layer over the entire surface - this is the best way to adhere vellum without seeing your adhesive!
Use the Largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly die set to cut a piece of the Flowering Foils DSP (available as a Level 1 SAB reward) - I chose the design with the small gold and silver flowers that look like daisies
Using the sponging method I described here, sponge on Pear Pizzazz over your die cut piece of DSP. After applying the ink, I recommend "buffing" the foil with a piece of paper towel so that the foil really shines
Cut a piece of Pear Pizazz cardstock using the same die used in step 4
Adhere this inked piece of DSP to the cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue - this gives the DSP enough sturdiness to adhere it to the Purple Posy vellum using Stampin' Dimensionals. Place it slightly higher and to the left of center, as pictured above
Fussy cut a set of two flowers from the sheet of DSP and sponge them with Blushing Bride - set aside
Place a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock into your Stamparatus and stamp the sentiment "Happy Easter, Happy Spring, happy, happy everything" from Timeless Tulips in Melon Mambo
Clean the ink from your stamp, but do not remove it from the Stamparatus
Ink the stamp with Versamark and stamp over the Melon Mambo sentiment you just stamped
Apply Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heatset - this gives the appearance and feel of pink heat embossing - the shine looks amazing with the shiny foiled DSP
Use the scalloped label die from Stitched So Sweetly to cut out your sentiment - I suggest centering the best you can, as we are going to add elements to both sides
Put a Stampin' Dimensional under the right side of the sentiment and use Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the rest - adhere to the front of your card with the liquid glue on the Pear Pizzazz and the Stampin' Dimensional on the vellum
Glue the two Blushing Bride flowers that you inked earlier to the right side of the sentiment
Cut a length of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle to about 4-5 inches. I had dyed my tulle using water and Pretty Peacock previously, I didn't let it soak long so the color came out as a beautiful light blue, perfect for Spring/Easter!
Tie a knot in the center of your Tulle, don't pull it too tight, seeing the knot is part of the appeal
Trim the ends to angles - following the three polka dots works perfectly for this
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere this piece of Tulle to the left of your sentiment
