Sparkly Nature Card with PaperArtsy Sara Naumann Stamps

 

Hello crafty friends, it’s Ericka from Strangely Creative! ✨

Today I’m diving into one of my favorite creative combos—gel prints, sparkly textures, and beautiful nature-inspired stamps. For this card, I played with the PaperArtsy Sara Naumann 51 stamp set to create a nature card that shimmers and shines in all the right places.

Building the Background

I started with a gel press print using the gorgeous new PaperArtsy Fresco Finish colors in Watermelon, Coastal, and Admiral. These three shades blend into such a dreamy background that is vibrant yet soft enough to let the details shine through.

Adding the Details

Next, I stamped the focal images from the Sara Naumann 51 set with Versafine Clair Pine Cone ink and heat embossed them in clear powder. This gave my images a crisp outline and just the right amount of glossy texture.

But I wanted to bring in a little extra movement so out came the Sara Naumann 090 stencil! Using Spectrum Noir Glitter Paste, I added a couple more sparkling birds that really catch the light and bring that magical feel to the card.

 

Finishing Touch

Once the glitter paste dried, I completed the card with a simple but meaningful sentiment from the Lavinia Sentiment Stickers. Sometimes all you need is just a few words to tie it all together.

 

The Final Look

This project is all about texture, shimmer, and layering different mediums. Between the bold gel press colors, glossy embossed images, and glittery stencil birds, the card feels alive with nature’s energy. Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this sparkly card inspires you to mix up your gel prints with stamping and stencil textures for your next project. Wishing you a creative and joyful close to the month and enjoy the last week of August! 💖
