Do you have stamp sets that you are so excited to play with and yet they have sat in the packaging untouched longer that you wanted? That's what happened with the Gem Turnabout Stamp and Die set from Concord & 9th.
When I got it I was excited with how cute it is. I have played a lot with Concord & 9th's turnabout stamp sets, but this was the first time I used a mini turnabout set. I found it very easy to use and the multicolored background of gems is so cute.
I used a light and dark blue and a light and dark purple for my gem turnabout background. All 4 of these colors are from Fun Stampers Journey; Pool Play, Beach Ball, Pretty Amethyst and Deep Lilac.
I wanted the focal image, the large die cut gem to really be the focus of this card and thought the blue ink blended behind the circle really helped to draw the eye in towards that gem. The Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink, coordinates really nicely with the Beach Ball ink and card stock.
I used Pretty Amethyst and Deep Lilac card stock to die cut the gem using the coordinating die set. To make it sparkle, I covered it with Sparkle Silk and Journey glaze. The end result is a very shiny gem with a lot of shimmer when you turn it in the light.
