Blast from the past - blog hop


Hi there,

and thank you for stopping by today. A warm welcome to all the hoppers who arrived here for the TE blog hop - you are on the right track :)

For today's hop I finally inked up my "You are my hero" set which was sitting on my desk for ever. And I used one of Taylor's awesome Key Ingredients set (just annot remember which one it is ...). Since I have to two and a lot of teenager around us this set is just PERFECT! So I tried to create a card that could be used for a boy or a girl. And the sketch Sankari provided was great to work with.

Unfortunately it was soo difficult to get a good pic from the card without any reflection from the foil - well, this is my best try, sorry!

The stars were stamped with black craft ink and then embossed with iridescent (???) embossing powder. In real life it looks so cool but on the photo ...:(. I added a lot of sponging with basic gray ink. The foil was cut with a circle nestie, embossed with an embossing plate from PTI and after that crumbled up. I like the look.

Gotta run, the kids need a nap (shhht, Mommy too ;))
Hugs to y'all and hope to see you back soon
Tanja
