Ice Cream Happiness

Hi Friends!!  

I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend so far!!  Saturday is my turn to highlight a card at the Artistic Outpost blog and I wanted to share this quick One Layer Mixed Media card with you here as well:-)

This card was designed using the new Ice Cream Shoppe and Bottle Caps Background stamp sets from the Artistic Outpost 2016 Spring Release at Our Daily Bread Designs and the only additional layer would be the focal images (since they are mounted with dimensional foam) :-).

I am linking this card to the Splitcoaststampers’  Mix-Ability MIX132 “Waxing Eloquent” Challenge as well as the CAS361 “Sweet Treats” Challenge.   

To create this card:

Fold a 4 ¼” x 11” piece of Extra Thick Whisper White cardstock in half for your card base.

Ink the Bottle Caps Background stamp using Ranger® Tim Holtz® Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, spritz lightly with water, press the  card front onto the background stamp , lift and dry with the Heat Tool.

Apply Judikins MicroGlaze™ to each of the bottle cap images (I used my finger to apply)- this will resist the ink in the next step.

Using a modified version of the Smakin’ Acetate Technique (cut open a clear envelope so only one side is hinged, apply a small amount of Ranger® Tim Holtz® Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink to one side of the open envelope, spritz lightly with water, close the envelope onto the ink, use your fingers to spread and mix the ink a bit, open the envelope and press the stamped background into the ink, re-pressing as needed until you achieve the desired effect).

Ink the images from Ice Cream Shoppe with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, fussy cut and layer onto Basic Black cardstock, fussy cut once more and set aside.

Ink the sentiment from Ice Cream Shoppe with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp directly onto the card front.

Position the fussy-cut images and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

There you go, a quick and easy Mixed Media card!
