CIP - Sassy Birthday Wishes

Hi there CIP fans!  It's me again, this time with a Birthday card to share.  Of course I've added the shimmer and sparkle from the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  The Inspirations paints I've used are Buttercup, Pink Highlights, TuTu Pink, Mocha Latte, Beige, and Onyx.  I've also added Resplendence Angel Dust, to add sparkle to this Stella Birthday image from Bugaboo.  I've edged everything with Black Soot distress ink.
Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

CIP - Flamingo Sunset

Hi there CIP fans!  I have another Valentine card to share with you today, and I've used lots of shimmer and sparkle from the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  I started by embossing the image with the Deliquesce Black embossing powder on watercolor paper.  For the sunset I've used the Inspirations paints in Sunshine, Buttercup, Mango, Orange, and Pumpkin.  I've glittered the flowers and leaf with Resplendence Burgundy and Angel Dust, and then added a bit of bling with the clear Jeweled Inspirations in two sizes (SS30 and SS34).

CIP - Puppy Love Valentine

Hi there CIP friends!  I'm busy working on my Valentine cards and practicing with the Creative Inspirations Paint embossing powders.  I have to say that I stopped using embossing powders years ago because I couldn't get them to melt nicely, but the Deliquesce powders melt perfectly in seconds!  It really helps with keeping the colors from spreading with the distress coloring.  How great is that?

I pulled out some of my older TE stamps to get use out of.  So I've used the Deliquesce Black on the stamped image, and then used the Garnet, Aqua Marine, and Winter Frost on the flowers. 
Here are the CIP products that I've used:
