Hi Friends!
I had a chance to play around with some ink today and decided to
create a Mixed Media card using the Pals Paper Arts PP295 Color Challenge along
with the Global Design Project GDP030 Sketch and the Just Us Girls Trend Week JUGS338 “Smooshing”Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge site
galleries yet, again, I highly encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from
all!
To create
this card:
De-static
a piece of Basic Black cardstock with the Embossing Buddy®, ink the script
image from By the Tide using Versamark™ Ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock,
apply Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
Once the
embossing powder has cooled, use the Big Shot™ with the My Favorite Things®
(MFT) Stitched Horizontal Strip Dies to cut out the image and mount onto
Bermuda Bay cardstock, trim the edges and set aside.
For the
background, cut open a clear envelope (I slit the one side, top and bottom of a
clear packaging envelope to create an opening like a book), add Bermuda Bay and
Cucumber Crush Classic Ink directly to the inside of the clear envelope, spritz
with water and “close” the top part of the envelope.
Smoosh
the ink inside with your fingers, open the envelope and two pieces of Whisper
White cardstock down onto the ink on both sides of the envelope.
Dry the panels
with the Heat Tool and set one aside for a future project.
Cut out
the “smooshed” background panel with the Big Shot™ using the MFT Blueprints 13
Die (the large stitched rectangle), ink the splatter stamp from Timeless
Textures with Crumb Cake Classic Ink and stamp repeatedly onto the panel.
Dilute
Black Gesso® with water and use a small paint brush to splatter the Gesso® over
the panel.
Use the
Big Shot™ with the Memory Box® Delicate Border Die to cut the border and mount
onto the background panel.
Stamp the
sentiment from the retired Express Yourself hostess stamp set with Versamark™
ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Black Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat
Tool.
Adhere
the background panel to a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock, trim and mount onto a
piece of Basic Black cardstock, trim and mount onto the Whisper White card
base.
Using the
Black Stampin’ Archival Ink Pad, stamp the jellyfish image (From Land to Sea)
onto Whisper White cardstock, heat set the ink with the Heat Tool and use an
AquaPainter™ with Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay and Cucumber Crush Classic Ink to
watercolor the image.
Fussy cut
the jellyfish and add Clear Wink of Stella® over the entire image.
Mount the
horizontal script panel and jellyfish using dimensional foam.
Add a few
Rhinestones to finish off the card.
