Framed out with the cool addition of the easy to use adhesive backed Rhinestone Jewels - this card is dramatic and sexy (or is that my love of coffee speaking??).

The cool Silver Foil Sheets take on an almost masculine look of metal sheeting when you emboss it in this soon-to-retire Argyle Embossing Folder and Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.  I love that this hand-crafted card works for the fashionably bold or the masculine card needs you may have.

High Shine... the small details like the Metallic Ink to the accents of the Rhinestones to the high-shine of the embossed Silver Sheets combines to make one tasty hand-stamped card!  It's hard to say good-bye to great stamp sets like this, add the fun embossing folder, punch, ink... whew this is a dynamic hand-crafted card that combines some amazing card making tools!

Simple additions, signs that tie in the theme of this beach wedding is easy with one of my very favorite stamp sets!  It is easy to create a simple but pretty decoration like this.  Here I printed the words on our Whisper White card stock.  Rub the surface of the full card stock (to make sure it prevents the silver embossing powder from adhering to the ink that is printed).  Stamp the By the Seashore stamps with Versa Mark ink on the card stock.  Cover with the Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder and shake off the excess.  Heat set and raise the image with our Heat Tool.

She is a beauty, inside and out.  I love the casual but beautiful setting this couple (the two on the Left) did for this special event.  This wise man nabbed her and put a ring on it.  What a beautiful celebration of love for a beautiful couple.  Sherri was married this past weekend and this beautiful wedding setting is made more stunning by the couple in it.

Water-coloring can happen on regular card stock but will have a better image using the Watercolor Paper.  Here the image will have a damp, slightly blurred image when you ink the stamp with the Sahara Sand ink pad then (holding it away from your crafting area) lightly spritz it with water using our fine mist Stampin' Spritzer.

Your spritzed image will take on that softened, vintage hand-stamped look.

Stamping it on the Watercolor Paper will absorb the excess water and hold up to the excess of moisture.  I did the same thing with the sentiment.

Die Cut this stamped image with the coordinating and *soon-to-retire Labels Collection Framelits in yourBig Shot Magnetic Platform and Die-Cutting Machine.  I will miss this stamp set (and hoard it for my private collection!!).  Score this stamp set before they are GONE!

Layered over the stunning ribbon, the adhesive backed Pearl Jewels and Very Vintage buttons add a whimsical accent to the card.

I love the combination of Real Red, Crushed Curry and that pop of black and white.  The Color Coach (133718) is my biggest helper in creating a card that pops!  Framing this soon-to-retire but awesome collection of paper (the Back to Black) gives me a cool looking hand-crafted card that comes together with ease.  

Stamping this stunning flower from the beautiful Bloom With Hope Hostess Exclusive stamp set, with the Jet Black Stazon ink pad, gives me a wonderful start.  Using the Aqua Painter in the Crushed Curry I colored around the center of the blossom with one application.  Going over it to color the full flower it will have an added depth to the center due to the two layers of color.  I love the look of water colored images!!  Adding the Early Espresso to the center with the Aqua Painter gives the card depth and a pretty center, much like you'd see in nature!
