Bright and Beautiful for InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to the very first InKing Royalty Blog Hop.  For our very first hop, we’re excited to share projects that showcase the fun of the holidays – from Halloween through Christmas, this certainly is the season to be jolly!

You may have started the Blog Hop here or may have hopped over from Pam Morris at Tap Tap Stamp.  After you read my post, I  hope you’ll hop over to the next.  If you get off track at any point during the blog hop, there’s a complete list of participants at the end of this pos

My card today is using the new and very beautiful Bright and Beautiful stamp set. This set is full of stars and of course, coordinates with the Stars Framelits found in the annual catalog.

Stampin UP Bright and Beautiful Stamp set

This set and these stars are obviously designed to layer together but for today’s card I opted to use tone on tone with some rather non traditional Stampin UP Bright and Beautiful Stamp set Frosted SequinsHoliday colors, Sahara Sand, White and Basic Black. The large and smallest starts are stamped with versamark.  The tiny cluster of stars from the Holiday Home stamp set were stamped with white craft ink.  Remember to let that ink dry for a while, or hit it with the heat gun to set, otherwise it will smear.

The tiny snowflakes, just adorable, are also from the Holiday catalog, Frosted Sequins.  There are Snowflakes and various sizes of silver sequins.  I applied these with mini glue dots.

The Season’s greetings stamp I just love. Also from the Holiday Catalog in a set called Watercolor Winter Too,  The font used for this greeting is just lovely.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, [insert name of person] at Bonnie Garrett at Stampin’ Bon.  You certainly won’t want to miss any of these projects.
