You Have to Watch How I Saved My Card!

by Erum Tasneem November 23, 2020

Hi there everyone! Happy Monday! Today I am sharing two card designs with you that are fairly similar. My cards feature the Paint-a-Flower: Spider Mums Stamp Set.

Initially, I only planned on making the card on the right with some extra stamping. But, I got distracted and double stamped and had to fussy cut the stamped portion out to create the card on the left. Watch the video at the end of this post to see all of this happening with your own eyes!

Firstly, on Crest Solar White Cardstock I will ink blend Cotton Candy Dye Ink with the help of the Large Blending Tool. Next, I will place the panel in the stamp positioner and stamp the image in Coral Bliss Dye Ink. You can use any ink to stamp that is closer or slightly darker than the color of markers you will be using. In my case, I am coloring with pinks and peaches and therefore, went with Coral Bliss Dye Ink.

After stamping, I colored the nooks with Coral Berry Artist Marker. I blended this out with Peach Perfect Artist Marker. In the end, I added the Frosty Pink Artist Marker pigment to the tips of the petals.

For the leaves, I used the Coffee Break Set of Artist Markers.

After the mess up, I carefully cut around the image and set it aside. Next, I added Gold Foil Washi to the left edge of the card front. Then stamped the sentiment in Espresso Dye Ink. After this, I adhered the panel with foam tape. And then added fine black splatters to the right portion. To finish, I adhered Satin Gold Sequins.

Because my heart was set on the initial design, I recreated it without the additional stamping. Just changing the layout a little bit, does give the stamp a completely different look. Even though everything is done in the exact same manner.
