Movies and Popcorn

Hi my friends! It's a new month and time for a new Paper Funday Challenge. The sponsor I choose to work with is Newton's Nooks Designs. Aren't they just the cutest images?

I started with this cute cute stamp and die set called Movie Night:

I've mentioned before that I make cards for my daughter's shop In Wake Forest, NC. She has a line of North Carolina popcorn and seasonings which she sells and I thought a few cards in that theme would go perfectly! So I made 2:

I stamped the images and colored them with alcohol markers...I have various types and just use them interchangeably. I die cut the images with the coordinating die using my Big Shot machine.

The background is a stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Perspective Checkerboard. I ink blended Distress Oxide Weathered Wood for a light grey background using my Scrapbook.com foam blending tools. As always, using the Wendy Vecchi Make Art-Stay-tion when working with stencils makes it so easy and very seldom do I need Pixie Spray.

The sentiment is white heat embossed on Lawn Fawn Black Licorice card stock. To get a perfect white embossed image: always first use a good powder tool. Next, for me, I find stamping with Scrapbook.com's White Pigment Ink, a couple of times (instead of Versamark ink) keeps the white "whiter". The pigment ink stays wet for about 30 seconds, so quickly sprinkle on Taylored Expression's Detail White Embossing Powder . Heat set with your favorite heat gun. This combo makes for a perfectly embossed sentiment - white on black.

The edges are die cut with Avery Elle's Wonky Stitched Dies...one of my go to dies! I am not a fan of cutting my card panels even with all the cutter alignment markings. I just never seem to get them perfectly done, so I almost always use a die. 

I thank you for visiting my blog today and if you are a maker, enter into the Paper Funday Challenges with one of your creations. We love to see your work!
