Cards for Kindness Post 8 - Spirals

Today's Cards for Kindness use the bright spirals in the middle of this picture. This background makes me think of the Incredibles for some reason. But since I don't have any Incredibles stamps, I stuck with the Funny Farm CMS361 stamps from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. With their hand-drawn feel, they go really well the the Spirals from Scribbles and Spirals CMS296.

This is again the Iron-off Embossing technique I learned from this Jennifer McGuire Ink video.

Once the Spirals were heat embossed with clear embossing powder, I inked the paper and then ironed the clear embossing powder off onto a second piece of paper.

I then colored that paper the same way. You can see the original stamping is still sharp and white, while the iron-off image on the left is a bit softer and wider.

I used the original and paired it with a piece of paper stamped in the same colors but using the Scribbles stamp. To finish this card I stamped one of the Stitches stamps along the right side of the inside of the card, and trimmed the front of the card on a diagonal, then machine stitched around the outside edge. The orange and yellow sequins were in a little baggie in my stash from eons ago so I have no idea who the manufacturer was.

The second card was made the exact same way with the only change being that I didn't leave the color behind the Scribbles stamp white. It was too bright for the soft Spirals side, so I lightly colored the paper yellow and stamped in the orange and red.

Thanks for sticking with me for all of the Cards for Kindness posts. I did make 30 cards, so I have a lot of them to share. I think there are only one or maybe two more for me to post after this. I hope that you are enjoying seeing the little differences the colors and stamps make with the same technique. 

Okay friends, lets go spread some kindness!
