Guest Designer - Amy Brown

 
We're back for week number three with our sweet and talented Guest Designer for January - Amy Brown of Brite Designs Studio! Amy created another bright and cheery with a fun peek-through element. Here's what she says about putting this pretty card together:
 
"I decided to try something new this card so I hope you all enjoy it! 
I use a My Favorites Things 'Friend" die to die cut through both a card base and card front to create this fun peek-through card. I used MFT's Homespun Stitch Lines to add this lovely stitched detailing just above and below the die cut window. 
I heat embossed the sentiment from Avery Elle's Handwritten Notes stamp set in Midnight Black Stamp-N Stuff embossing powder. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set and use it all the time because the font is so versatile and works with almost any type of card you could make.
I popped the sentiment strip up on foam tape and adhered the gold detailed floral embellishment just slightly behind it. I topped off the card with some enamel dots in a deep teal that almost matched the floral element exactly. Thank you CropStop for allowing me to guest design again today!"

Guest Designer - Amy Brown


 Welcome to Guest Designer Friday. Today we have a beautiful card created by our January guest designer --- Amy Brown from Brite Designs Studio. I love the way Amy used her embossing folder on this card - such a bright and pretty design! Here's what she says about putting this card together:

"I ran the gorgeous Couture Creations Hyper Magical Embossing Folder through my Big Shot to dry emboss some white cardstock, then applied a soft layer of SSS (Simon Says Stamp) Inks in Wisteria and Sky Blue to the paper with a blending brush. I die cut two circles using SSS Stitched Circle Dies, one in vellum and the other in white cardstock, then stamped this sentiment from Trinity Stamps "Let Love Grow" Stamp Set with the same SSS Wisteria Ink onto the white circle off centered a bit. I glued the circles together, then placed them to the edge of the embossed panel and trimmed down the side of the circles. I added the silver glitter cardstock strip to the right of the card before adhering the embossed panel with Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I used the same adhesive on the Glistening Snow Confetti from Trinity Stamps and these beautiful Exclusive Acetate Leaves from the Hip Kit Club November 2018 Kit. This card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire, the queen of card making!"
