Happy Saturday! It is my turn to share on the ArtisticOutpost blog and I wanted to share this fun Mixed Media card with all of you as
well!
I designed this card
using the Ice
Cream Shoppe stamp set from Artistic Outpost by Our Daily Bread Designs.
I wanted to play
along with a few of my favorite online challenges so I incorporated the TGIF! #72 Sketch Challenge along with the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSS246 Color Challenge into the design.
I hope you have a
chance to visit us at the Artistic Outpost blog as well as the other challenge
galleries – wonderful inspiration from all!
To create this card:
Die cut and emboss
the light blue piece of paper from the ODBD
Boho Bolds Paper Pad
with the ODBD
Pierced Rectangles Dies
and “distress” the die cut with ink using the Smakin’ Acetate Technique (I used
a clear envelope, applied ink from water-based markers- Dapper Denim, Flirty
Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum, spritzed lightly with water, closed the acetate
and” smooshed “ the ink around, re-opened and placed the white light blue die
cut into the ink).
Once the ink dries,
mount onto a piece of white cardstock, trim close to the edge and adhere to the
black card base.
To create the center
panel, use the same color markers as above for the Smakin’ Acetate technique
with white cardstock.
Once the ink has dried,
apply crackle texture paste with a circle stencil (allow the paste to dry), die
cut and emboss the panel with the ODBD Pierced Rectangle Dies and mount onto a piece
of black cardstock (die cut and embossed with the ODBD
Double Stitched Rectangle Dies).
Add the 1” black
satin ribbon strip (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel) and mount
the panel onto the card front with dimensional foam.
Die cut and emboss three circles from the ODBD
Boho Bolds Paper Pad
for the outer frame with the ODBD
Pierced Circle Dies
and die cut and emboss white cardstock with the ODBD
Circles Dies
for the inner circles.
Stamp the Ice
Cream Shoppe
cone images onto white cardstock with archival black ink, color with the same water-based
markers used in the first few steps and apply shimmer with a clear glitter pen.
Fussy-cut the ice
cream cone images, mount onto black cardstock and fussy-cut again.
Adhere the three
circles to the card front, add the looped silver metallic thread and mount the
ice cream cones with dimensional foam.
Finish off the card
by stamping the sentiment from the Ice
Cream Shoppe
onto white cardstock with archival black ink, hand trimming the sentiment and
mounting onto black cardstock and adding the sentiment to the card front along
with a few silver sequins.
I hope I have inspired you to pull out your stamps this weekend and have fun!!
