Enjoy the Journey- Another Experiment with Ink

Hi Stampers!!

This is the second card I created with the CC485 Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge along and experiment using the Gelli Arts® Gel Printing Plate with Classic Ink (versus acrylic paint). 

Again, I hope that you have a chance to the CC485 Color Challenge Gallery to check out all of the variety of designs and ideas!

To create this card:

Emboss a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock using the Big Shot™ along with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  Trim and mount onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, trim again and mount onto a piece of Hello Honey cardstock and trim one more time to mount onto the Night of Navy card base.

Use a brayer to apply Hello Honey Classic Ink onto part of the Gelli Arts® Printing Plate, clean off the brayer and apply Night of Navy Classic Ink the clean part of the plate overlapping a bit of the Hello Honey ink in areas.

I used an empty spindle from my husband’s grass trimmer along with a few die cut window sheets for stencils, etc. to press into the ink on the plate.

Apply a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the plate and lift off the initial print and repeat for the “ghost” print.

 

Ink the World Map background stamp using Night of Navy Classic Ink and stamp over the print from the Gelli Arts® Printing Plate, trim and adhere to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock.  Trim and mount onto a piece of Hello Honey cardstock, trim and mount again onto Night of Navy cardstock. 

Add the 3/8” Hello Honey Stitched Satin Ribbon along with the retired Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware buckle to the corner and adhere to the Sahara Sand embossed background panel. 

Lay a piece of Hello Honey cardstock onto the map stamp (without re-inking), rounding the corners with the Envelope Punch Board.  Mount onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, rounding the corners with the Envelope Punch Board.

Ink the train image from Traveler using Night of Navy Classic Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.  Color part of the train using the Hello Honey Stampin’ Write marker and use the Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write marker to add shadows to the train image.   “Fussy-cut” the image, use a Sponge Dauber with Night of Navy Classic Ink along the edges and mount using Stampin’ Dimensionals® onto the Hello Honey map image. 

Create the striped banner using the Moonlight Designer Series Paper (DSP) using the Banner Punch, mount onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock (creating the banner points using the Banner Punch) and create the sentiment banner using the stamp set, Pedaling Past stamped onto Whisper White cardstock (I used a previously printed image from My Digital Studio) with the banner points and mounting onto Night of Navy cardstock in the same manner as the striped banner. 

Add the banners and the train image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card

Lighthouse Sympathy- A Color and Sketch Challenge :-)

Hi Again Stampers! 

Here is another card that I created this week using the CC485 Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge along with a version of the FMS143 Freshly Made Sketch.

Again, if you have not visited either of the sites above, both sites have excellent Design Teams as well as other samples- so much inspiration!!

To create this card:

Use the 1 3/8” Circle Punch to punch out a circle from a piece of scrap paper and mask the area on a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock.  Use a Sponge Dauber with Hello Honey Classic Ink to ink within the circle to create the sun.

Ink the lighthouse stamp using Night of Navy Classic ink and stamp over the sun image. Darken the image using a Night of Navy Stampin’ Write marker.

Create the rays using a straight edge of a piece of scrap paper and a Sponge Dauber with Hello Honey Classic Ink.   Add highlights using the Chalk Marker to the sun and the rays.

Round the corners using the Envelope Board, also rounding corners of a piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Trim and mount the Night of Navy cardstock layer behind the focal image.

Use the Big Shot™ along with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and adhere to the Whisper White card base.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Hello Honey cardstock and color the stripes using the Stampin’ Write Night of Navy marker and the Chalk Marker.  Round the corners of the striped cardstock using the Envelope Punch Board and mount onto the embossed background panel.

Create the banner using the Banner Punch and mount onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, creating banner points with the Banner Punch as well. 

Adhere a piece of Night of Navy Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto Night of Navy cardstock.

Add the strands of  1 1/4“ Burlap Ribbon to the card front  and mount the focal image using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Add the striped DSP panel and the Hello Honey banner along with the Night of Navy button to the front of the focal image.

Stamp the sentiment using Night of Navy Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, trim and create the banner using the Hexagon Punch.  Adhere the sentiment banner to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and create the banner points with the Hexagon Punch. 

Adhere the sentiment to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.
