Hi Friends!!
I hope all of you are
having a great start to the weekend so far!!
Today it is my turn to highlight a card on the Artistic
Outpost blog and I created another quick Mixed Media card using Bottle CapsBackground along with Ice Cream Shoppe from the 2016 Spring Release at ArtisticOutpost.
I decided to incorporate
the Splitcoaststampers CAS384 “Cool Treats” Challenge along with the TLC595 “Stamp Selfie” Challenge and the #TGIF65 "Cut It Out" Challenge.
No, this girl image
is not me so it is not a true "selfie" (well maybe I looked a little like that 30 years ago-lol!) but I
could imagine standing next to a mural in an ice cream shop enjoying a bit of
ice cream, how about you?
If you have not
already visited the Artistic Outpost blog or the Splitcoaststampers challenge
sites yet, I hope you will do so- fabulous inspiration from all!
To create this card:
Stamp the images from
Ice Cream Shoppe with gray ink, color with a light pink and plum marker,
fussy-cut and mount onto black cardstock, fussy cut once more and apply a thin layer
of clear glitter to the ice cream in the large cone.
Use the modified
version of the Smakin’ Acetate Technique to create the backdrop for the Bottle Caps Background- scribble light pink and plum markers onto an opened acetate
envelope, lightly spritz with water, close the envelope to "smoosh" the ink
around, re-open the envelope and press a piece of white cardstock into the ink.
Stamp the Bottle Caps Background stamp with gray ink onto the splattered background, trim and mount
behind a die cut window from white cardstock (using the ODBD Double Stitched
Square Dies) along with the girl image popped up with dimensional foam.
Mount onto several
layers of light pink and black cardstock before mounting onto the white card
base.
Stamp the sentiment
from Ice Cream Shoppe with gray ink, adhere the looped silver cord with the ice
cream cone along with a few sequins to finish off the card.
Thanks again for
stopping by- your visits and comments are such an encouragement to me! Hugs and have a great week, my friends!
