Well,Lynne had designed not one,but TWO sets of sentiments stamps...

Well,Lynne had designed not one,but TWO sets of sentiments stamps...
annnnnd,lets not forget to mention my recent package of winnings from Emerald Creek Dares~ who just happens to carry some of the most yummiest embossing powders I have ever seen!
Okay,now that you know I had a super mail week,on to what I have created with my new treasures!
Using a piece of cardboard, I tore away parts and applied modeling paste mixed with crackle paste to what was left. Once dry I spritzed a bit of water and added my beloved Infusions,and then more spritzing.
And when this was put aside to dry completely,boy oh boy!
did that crackle ever do it's job with those infusions!!

Next up was a piece of watercolor paper cut to fit inside of the cardboard piece.
Some background stamping and then more Infusion love using favorite colors.
Now to use my new stamps from Chocolate Baroque~a few background crocuses in the same ink as the background script,then three lovely flowers over the top and brought to life with white embossing powder.
At the flowers feet is deliciously chunky looking and beautiful embossing powder from Emerald Creek~Fractured Ice this was added to act as the soil for the blooming flowers
Yumminess all over~texture and color!
What more could a girl ask for right?
What more could a girl ask for right?
maybe more stamping?
On a separate piece of cardstock,I used one of Lynne's new sentiments,oh how I just love this phrase!!
(as well as all of the others Lynne designed)
Thank you so much Lynne~your stamps are fabulous!

The watercolor paper was added to the cardboard piece both by securing with glue and by using grommets which were colored with alcohol inks.
After the stamping was dry,I added a bit of color,
using a water heavy paintbrush and spots of Infusion left on my mat-just enough.
Next,I tattered the edges of the paper and gave them a bit of vintage color
After balling up some string and giving it just the right amount of color it was secured in place using Finn's heavy gel medium and then my quote was added to the center of that.
The last thing to do was add a few beads and some string to hang with.
Thanks for hanging in there through all the photos and I do hope you were able to feel the excitement I shared with these new products and how wonderful they are!

Oh my gosh Jackie! Your excitement is evident in your beautiful work! This is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be pinning! The infusions look so so good here with your gorgeous stamped and layered imagery. Love that you overstamped flowers on flowers! YES!!! Speaking of happy mail, I received the most amazing package from you! The little book you made me made me smile from ear to ear. It is absolutely fabulous! You are so crafty and utterly genius! The paperdolls are precious and will be treasured - so thank you thank you for thinking of me! I truly appreciate all of the odds and ends you included and will do a pic just as soon as I come up above water. My daughter graduates tomorrow and I am buried in cheese platters and cutting pineapple! LOLOL! Happy weekend, Autumn
So beautiful! I love how you used the cardboard, revealing the layers! And the crackle is terrific on this piece. The whole piece says ...tactile !
This is a wonderful creation. Love all the layers, colours, crackle and texture, and the lovely sentiment from Lynne rounds it off really well. Well done! Have fun playing with your new 'toys' Big hugs, Valerie

Thanks for sharing at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges x
Always you can create some new. You have much beauty in your head and hands.
How is your summer now?
Wow, that truly is a mixed media piece! I love the texture and those text stamps are awesome. I really need to try out crackling paste, I so love the effect. Well done! Hope you'll have a happy and creative week! Hugs xx
What a stunning piece, Jackie - between the colour and texture, I'm hard pressed to tear my eyes off it! Gloriousness everywhere, my friend! xo
Well! you certainly put your new purchases to good use! Love that crackle and all the color and texture in it - your quote is lovely with the wound string behind it - a beautiful hanging Jackie! Thanks so much for joining us in the A Vintage Journey Use a Quote challenge! Julia xx
Jackie, a fabulous textured piece, so much detail. Love the crackle and 'soil'. Thanks so much for entering our final challenge on the Chocolate Baroque CHallenge Blog, Judith xx
Oh, my goodness, Jackie! Can I just say that your excitement is clear, and VERY contagious! What a fabulous mixed media make, and perhaps a new favorite of mine! (Anytime someone used embossing powder, I get excited!) The Fractured Ice looks great as garden soil; I think I may have to go sprinkle some on my veggie garden, which needs a little magic. And those stamps! Wow! Another thing I must add to my wish list. Your background panel is simply delicious in texture and color! And I am one lucky girl to see your crackle/infusion (am I right to assume it's Infusions?)backgrounds in person! I love the wall art you made for especially for me! And all those little goodies to play with that came in MY Happy Mail package from YOU! A post is in the works! And yes, I got your e-mail. Just haven't had proper time to respond. Hugs to you!
PS Thank you for sharing your wonderful quote with us at A Vintage Journey and your dreams with us at Emerald Creek Dares!
Gorgeous card, Jackie! I think I've found a new technique guru. My gosh, the way you've mixed media (both figuratively and literally) is awesome. I love the crackle paste mixed with modeling paste technique. You have a new follower ;-)
