Keeping with my blog hop tradition, I have created three different looks for you featuring a bunch on new products, and all of them feature the Lines Background, designed by my crafty pal Miriam Prantner. 

For the first card, I used the Lined Background and embossed it using Hero Arts White Satin Pearl embossing powder. Then I added some of the brand new Eucalyptus Stem Foil Plate and Dies which I foiled in gold and colored in with Copic Markers. I added a bit of gold splatter using Tim Holtz Distress Foundry Wax mixed with alcohol and a splatter brush. I finished the card with a sentiment from the XL Spring Greetings set that was embossed in gold.

For my second card, I went all out with the Lined Background and colored each line with my Karin markers, spritzed the colored stamp with a Distress Sprayer and then stamped it onto Distress Watercolor cardstock. I cut the panel using the Wonky Rectangles dies . To finish the card, I used a sentiment from the new Time to Party set, don’t you just love that font? And I added three little embellishments made from the hat toppers in the Time to Party set to make it pop, I cut them from black card stock and went over them with a Wink of Stella pen.

For my final card, I went Copper on Soft Navy cardstock. I embossed the Lined Background in Copper. I added the new Sketched Leaf Branches Hot Foil Plate that I foiled in Copper Glimmer Foil to coordinate, and then added a sentiment from the XL Love Greetings that I embossed with Copper embossing powder.
