Rose Banner #2- Vintage Birthday

Hi Friends!

This is the second card that I am sharing today using the  Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps  April Stamp of the Month, Rose Banner along with the previously released Texture Tiles I stamp set (if interested, please see this post for my first card).

Just a reminder, today is the final day that you can receive the April Stamp of the Month, Rose Banner free with any $75 (US) net order (after all discounts and before shipping and handling) plus any $75 US order ships for free!

I decided to create a Vintage Mixed Media card for this card and will be linking this card to the Seize the Birthday “Anything Goes” Challenge along with the Word Art Wednesday #332-#333 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Ink the Rose Banner image along with the sentiment with archival black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Watercolor with water-based markers and distress inks (see below for details).  FYI- I was not satisfied with my initial colors so I have multiple layers of color.  Once you are satisfied, fussy-cut the image.

 

2). Stamp the sentiment from Rose Banner using archival black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

3). Press antique linen distress ink onto a craft mat, spritz with water and press a piece of white cardstock into the ink.  Dry with a heat tool and using the script image from Texture Tiles I, stamp the background repeatedly with the same distress ink.  Use a stencil brush with a flourish stencil to apply a bit of mermaid lagoon distress oxide ink.  Distress the edges with a distressing tool and mount onto a piece of black cardstock.

4). Add the ivory crochet lace and a piece of black satin ribbon, wrapping the edges behind the panel.

5). Mount the fussy-cut Rose Banner image with dimensional foam and use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the flower petals.  Add a few pearls in the corners and clear crystal drops on the petals and sentiment to finish off the card.
