Today, I am celebrating the promotion of my lovely, fellow Stampin Up demonstrator and downline team member, who, also happens to be one of my oldest friends. She has promoted to the title of ‘Bronze Elite’ and now earns 25% discount on almost everything she buys from Stampin Up. She also earns the same 25% commission on anything she sells………..and who doesn’t like a discount….
I decided to use the Bravo stamp set, which has some great, large, celebratory sentiments and is sadly retiring at the end of this month.

I teamed the large sentiment with a new product which will be available in the new annual catalogue launching on the 1st June, Copper Embossing Powder. I have been itching to use this since it arrived in my pre-order, and this is the perfect opportunity.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock and covered it with the embossing powder, and yes, I did remember to use my Embossing Buddy first, I usually forget…… I used my heat tool to melt the embossing powder; the change from powder to glossy image never fails to delight.

I ran my Aqua-painter over the embossed image, laying down a film of water. Using ink from the lid of my ink pads, I added layers of Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry inks then allowed the cardstock to dry.
I rounded the top, right and bottom, left corners of the water coloured piece and added it, using Tombow Mono Multi Adhesive, to a mat of Old Olive cardstock with identical rounded corners. I adhered the whole panel to a card base of Thick Whisper White using Dimensionals. I added some sequins from my stash for a bit of bling.

I really hope my friend likes the card and the goodie bag that goes along with it. If you would like to join my team go to – http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/crafty-rootes/ – click on the Join the Fun tab. To purchase any of the products, click on the Shop Now tab
