I had a chance to stamp this weekend and create another Mixed
Media card using Artistic Outpost stamps- Ice Cream Shoppe,
Grunge Elements
and Bottle Caps
Background along with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles
Dies (all available from Our Daily Bread Designs).
I incorporated the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSS264 Color Challenge along with the Simon Says Wednesday “A Bit of Sparkle” Challenge and the Happy Little Stampers May "Watercolour" into the design.
If you have not had a chance to check
out the Artistic Outpost blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you
to do so! Inspiration is posted throughout
the week on the AO Blog/ AO Facebook Page and the challenge galleries have fabulous
samples as well!
To create this card:
1). Apply
Vintage Photo Distress Stain onto a craft mat, spritz with water and lay a
piece of white cardstock into the ink. Lift and re-apply the ink, dry with a
heat tool and repeat the steps with Pool Party and Watermelon dye based inks.
2). Ink the large splatter stamp with Vintage
Photo Distress Ink, stamp onto the background panel, die cut and emboss the
panel with Pierced Rectangles Dies. Mount onto black cardstock, trim close to
the edge, mount onto a pool party card base and sponge Vintage Photo Distress Ink
along the edges to distress the edges.
3). Ink
the Bottle Caps Background stamp with archival black ink, stamp onto white
cardstock, heat set with a heat tool before coloring the bottle caps with water
based markers- watermelon, pool and peach and a water brush. Apply microglaze to the bottle caps and once
dry, use the same steps above to fill in the background and add splatter.
4). Die
cut and emboss the Bottle Caps Background using the Pierced Rectangles Dies,
mount onto a black frame (also die cut and embossed with Pierced Rectangles
Dies).
5). Ink
the gentleman and ice cream cone images from Ice Cream Shoppe with archival
black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, heat set the ink with a heat tool and
color with water based markers and water color pencils. Fussy-cut the images, mount onto black cardstock
and fussy-cut close to the edge.
6). Mount
the fussy-cut images along with the heat embossed sentiment onto the card front
using dimensional foam.
7). Use a
clear shimmer pen to add a bit of shimmer to the bottle caps and ice cream to
finish off the card.
Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and visit- hugs and I hope you have a wonderful week!

What a fantastic card!! I love the retro/vintage vibe and agree with the sentiment 100% The colours you used even remind me of ice cream, they have a pastel, creaminess to them and the images are brilliant. I'm so glad you shared this with us at Happy Little Stampers!
I love the vintage and grunge feel to your card. Great idea on how you used the bottle caps and your take on our color challenge. Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
Great card! Love all the bottle caps that are a blast from the past. Thanks for joining us at HSS.
