Hi
Friends!!
I
had a chance to create another card last night and decided to pull out a few
sets that I have not had a chance to ink up in a while- Stampin’ Up! Butterfly
Basics, Awesomely Artistic and Rose Wonder (all three sets are over a year old :-)).
I
incorporated the Fab Friday #114 Color Challenge along with the Happy LittleStampers June 2017 CAS “Smoosh” Challenge and the Retro Rubber #64 "Anything Goes" Challenge into the design.
If
you have not already had a chance to visit the above challenge sites, I hope
you will do so- they both have wonderful Design Teams and fabulous challenge
entries.
To create
this card:
1). Ink
the floral image from Butterfly Basics with archival black ink, stamp onto
white cardstock, heat set with a heat tool and watercolor using an AquaPainter™
along with ink from the Powder Pink, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist
and Tranquil Tide Classic Ink Pads. Use
the Stampin’ Write Markers to add more color and definition and once the flower
has dried, fussy-cut and set aside.
2). On a
clear acetate envelope, tap a bit of Powder Pink and Berry Burst Classic Ink,
spritz lightly with water, smoosh the ink around and lay a piece of white
cardstock into the ink. Dry with the
Heat Tool, add a bit of splatter with the splatter image from Awesomely
Artistic stamp set with Berry Burst Classic Ink. Apply Picket Fence Distress Stain over some
of the “smooshed” areas to tone down the ink, dry again before trimming.
3). Ink
the verse sentiment from Rose Wonder with Fresh Fig Classic Ink, stamp onto the
panel and mount onto a piece of Berry Burst cardstock.
4). Mount
the flower using dimensional foam, use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to
the petals and an extra fine white paint pen for highlights in the center of
the flower.
5). Add
the droplets using Rosewater Nuvo Crystal Jewel Drops to finish off the card.
