Vacay Layout is Iconic Freddie, a Technique & Sketch ...

Continuing my layouts for our little "vacay" that took place on my way to Onstage 2025 Raleigh with Stampin' Up!™.  I would always see Freddy in these awesome Adidas shoes onstage in their videos.  So, when we visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this past March, I was so happy to see them on display.

My "technique" on this layout is pretty simply but can be a tad messy.  I used some scraps from Season of Elegance and after beginning and applying the DSP to the White Willow noticed I was out of Real Red and Cherry Cobbler CS.  So, I stamped my design onto White Willow using VersaMark and WOW Gold Embossing powder from our Basics Wow 3 pack.  Set that with our heat tool and after a couple minutes to let cool I then with a small blending brush went over the embossed design on the White Willow with Real Red ink.  Once finished there was of course Real Red ink on top of the gold embossed area and it dulled it a bit.  I took my microfiber cloth (cloth of my choice) and gently rubbed over the heat embossed gold to remove the ink and make it super shiny again.  So happy our inks coordinate with our cardstock perfectly!

I also used Darling Duckling, one of the NEW In Colors 2025-2027 for the title and dot embellishments.  And, I stamped LOVE on the White Willow using Layered Thoughts stamp set #165346.  These will be available May 6th.  

The title was made using Alphabet ala Mode dies #160750.  White Willow edges inked with Real Red ink and applied with a dauber.

Here is the Sketch.

Happy creating ...
