Hi Stampers!
Happy
Friday!! I wanted to create a card for
this week’s FMS92 Freshly Made Sketches and the curving lines of the sketch
seemed to be perfect for feathers.
If
you have a chance, check out their sire- the Design Team is fabulous and they
always have a number of entries that show the variety of ways to use a sketch!
To create this card:
Using
Early Espresso Classic Ink, stamp the peacock feather image onto Whisper White
cardstock and color with an AquaPainter™ and using ink from the Summer
Starfruit, Gumball Green, Pacific Point, Pool Party and Soft Suede Classic Ink
pads. Once dry, fill in a bit with
Stampin’ Write markers in the same colors.
To
add a bit of iridescence to the feathers, brush Moonlight Smooch™ Pearlized
Accent Ink (retired but on the Clearance Rack) over the feather. Carefully cut out the feather images, cutting into the sides a bit to create the "wisps" and give a realistic appearance to
the feather.
Once
cut out, spray with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint spray (paint mixed with 70%
rubbing alcohol) to give more iridescence.
Use
the Big Shot™ along with the Adorning Accents Framelits™ to cut the wavy edge
to a piece of Whisper White cardstock and emboss with the Stripes Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder. Align the
feathers along the wavy edge and add the sentiment.
 |
| Trying to capture the iridescence- not easy with the camera :-) |
Add
the embossed panel (this was a previous piece that I had embossed using the
Honeycomb Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder (inking the interior first
with Sahara Sand Classic Ink) and sprayed with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint
spray.
Add
the ½” Pool Party Seam Binding triple ribbon bow and adhere to the front of the
Whisper White card base. Add the feather
layer to finish off the card.
