Much later......

Stamps: Kona [brand new exclusive Our Craft Lounge set only available at: Eclectic Paperie]

Wow, when I said later, I didn't mean nearly midnight! Sorry!

So, here's at least one of the finished cards. I am wiped out and the rest have to wait until tomorrow!!

This technique is one of my favorites! First, I embossed (Cuttlebug) some heavy cardstock (Papertreyink's Stampers Select) and sprayed with several colors of Luminarte's Radiant Rain. You could also use Glimmer Mist, Twinkling H20's or Shimmerz. I then waited until it was dry. Rubbed my Versamark 1" cube over various areas, sprinkled with UTEE (ultra thick embossing powder by Ranger) and heated with my heat gun. It leaves this wonderful glassy, wet, dew drop effect. And, when added over the sparkly Radiant Rain, it looks so cool!

Don't you just love that "Ride the Big Wave" stamp!?!?!!
See you all tomorrow!!!
