Hi Crafty Friends! I am excited to have my refreshed blog up and going! I hope you enjoy the new look. Today, I have a fun birthday card using the NEW Let’s Celebrate Stamp Set and Dies from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps! I don’t grab purple often but love it on this fun card.
ALL SUPPLIES ARE LISTED BELOW!
I created a background using the Bubbles Stencil along with some Distress Texture Paste in Black Opaque. This is a beautiful paste. Make sure to wash your stencil and palette knife quickly as the paste dries fast. I set this aside to dry, then used the NEW Stitched Rectangle Die Set to cut out a panel from it. Using some Mica Stain Spray (Frozen Fog), I gently sprayed some on my panel. Then I used Hocus Pocus Mica Stain Spray and spattered some on using a paint brush. These methods give two different looks.
To create my purple panel, I used Wilted Violet Distress Ink and a Paper Pouncer. The Paper Pouncers lay down a lot of pigment quickly.
After stamping my images from the Let’s Celebrate Stamp Set with alcohol friendly ink, I colored these images using Olo Markers (C-G 1, 3, V 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7). I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out.
I stamped my sentiments using Distress Oxide in Wilted Violet and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I grabbed some white ribbon from my stash and wrapped it around my purple panel. I popped the stenciled panel up with fun foam and score tape. I have these panels premade and use these on larger images I want to pop up.
Lastly, I added my sentiment and popped up my colored images around it. This was all adhered to a top folding heavy weight card base.
I hope this card inspires you to try some texture paste as well as build up you birthday card stash. I can never have enough birthday cards. Thank you for stopping by and I will see you next time! Happy crafting, April!!
