Hi Stampers!!
This weekend we are
celebrating my twin niece’s 19th birthday and I wanted to create
their birthday cards using the Alcohol Marker Marbling technique (see the Splitcoaststampers
tutorial here) along with the Splitcoaststampers WT497 Stencil It! Challenge using a mixed media collage design.
I must admit, I love this marker technique-
it is so addicting!!
Since they are twins,
I wanted to create similar cards geared towards their interests in college- one
has taken a music path and the other art.
To
create the background panels for both cards:
Using
the medium marker from the Night of Navy Stampin’ Blendabilities™ Collection,
scribble some color onto the zip lock bag as noted in the tutorial , add
additional color onto the zip lock bag using the dark markers from the Daffodil
Delight, Old Olive and Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Bleandabilities™ and spritz
with rubbing alcohol.
Lay
a piece of Glossy White cardstock over the ink and lift up, spritz the ink
again with the rubbing alcohol, lay a second piece of Glossy White cardstock
over the moistened ink and lift for your second print (I used the second print
for one of the cards and the first print for the other).
Allow
to the panel to dry and use Sponge Daubers to apply Blackberry Bliss, Island
Indigo, Mossy Meadow to the Positively Chevron background stamp and sporadically
press the stamp over the marbled marker background piece.
Using
the Island Indigo Classic Ink along with a Sponge Dauber, stencil the hexagon
areas and use a stenciling brush with Gesso to stencil the circles.
Using
StazOn® Jet Black Ink, stamp off onto scrap paper and stamp the flowers from
Choose Happiness onto the background panel.
To create the masks for the flowers- stamp a few flowers onto sticky
note paper, “fussy-cut” around the edges (don’t forget to leave a bit of the
sticky strip at the top).
Mask
the flowers and stamp a few more flowers onto the panel as well as the leaf stems
using StazOn® Jet Black Ink. Apply
additional Blackberry Bliss and Island Indigo Classic Ink using a Sponge Dauber
to the flower petals.
Fill
in the leaves and stems using a Black 199 Fiber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen and
darken the details on the flower petals.
Using
Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink, stamp the image from Friendship’s Journey onto
the panel.
Add
white highlights using a Fiber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen White 101 to the flower
centers to finish off the background panel.
For
the musical card with the punched squares (the punched squares were a result of a "too busy" background- lol!!) :
Ink
the background stamp, Musical Score using Mossy Meadow Classic Ink, lay
portions of the background panel onto the stamp and randomly stamp a few areas.
Using
the 1 ¼” Square Punch, punch out the entire panel. Randomly position the punched squares and
adhere to a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto the Island
Indigo panel.
Add
a 5/8” Satin Ribbon bow along with the sentiment (stamped onto Glossy White
cardstock, trimmed and banner points created with the Hexagon Punch).
Adhere the sentiment as well as the bow to the front of the panel and add to the Island Indigo cardstock panel, trim and mount onto the Whisper White card base.
