Sale-A-Bration Favorite

By | March 19, 2018

There are some really amazing products you can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration this year.  One of those is the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, which happens to be one of my all-time favorites.  This paper is a level 1 Sale-A-Bration product, which means you can earn it for free when you make a purchase of $50!  But, remember that Sale-A-Bration ends on March 31, 2018.  So don’t wait!

The specialty paper comes in white with preprinted designs in silver, gold, and rose foil as seen below.  For my card, I used two different designs and coloring methods.

Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper — Level 1 Sale-A-Bration product (Earn for free with $50 purchase):

For the background of my card, I used a sponge and Night of Navy ink to color the paper.  The silver foil resists the ink.  This is a super easy coloring technique you can use to make the paper any color you want.  Isn’t it gorgeous looking?

I cut out the flower from another sheet of the specialty paper.  Then, I used Stampin’ Blends to color it including both light and dark markers of the following colors:  Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, and Old Olive.  The Springtime Foils paper has a very unique quality that makes coloring super fun and easy.  There’s a little bit of a glossy finish to the paper.  As a result, the Blends markers dry a little quicker than normal and don’t completely blend.  However, I love the end result because it looks painted, and you know how much I love watercoloring!!!

I started with the darker colors and then gradually added the lighter ones.  Each time I added a new shade or color, I went over the previous color to blend.

If you look closely, there is another Sale-A-Bration product on my card, the gray shimmer ribbon!  The 3-pack of ribbon is another level 1 product you can earn for free before March 31st.

To finish off my card, I added a sentiment from the  Cake Soiree stamp set embossed in gold, a little punched Gold Foil border, and then swirled some gold mini sequins.  It’s funny, I was playing around with adding the sequins and they just fell that way.  I looked at it and thought, oh I like that!   I already had dimensionals on the back of my flower, so I just stuck it down and said “done!”  Ha!  Sometimes things just work that way.
