 | | Hi everyone, I made this card for my niece's birthday and also for the SCS Free for All Challenge F4A763 of Flower Power from a while ago. There are no time limits to play SCS Challenges. See this link for the Challenge details ---> F4A763 Flower Power 10.4.14 by Jeanne S at Splitcoaststampers
The main image is by Penny Black - Frolic. I have had this wood-mounted stamp for a really long time and is one of my favourites. Definitely over 10 years. You just can't help but smile at that adorable cat! I stamped it using Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Ranger Watercolour Cardstock and coloured it using Watercolour Pencils + Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a #4 round paintbrush. I went over the black lines using a Black Copic Multiliner to darken them up after my colouring. The sentiment is by Impression Obsession Sentiments 1 which is retired. I have also had this sentiment set for many years. I diecut the main image using my Big Shot and Spellbinders Labels 1 Nestabilities S4-308 and S4-161.
All the designer papers are by Cocoa Vanilla - Happiness. The paper on the base is from their 6" x 8" pad and the Daisy paper down the centre is a 12" x 12" sheet. The papers are a few years old and retired. The ribbon is 1/4" or 6 mm wide and is from my stash and was glued on using Helmar's Fabric Glue. I added Fray Stop to the cut edges to stop them from fraying. The Pink Enamel Dots are by Stampin' Up from their set 'It's my Party' and are retired. I used an EK Success Arrows Border Punch to punch tiny hearts from a scrap of pink designer paper (the leftover punchies look like tiny hearts) and glued them around the sentiment and main image using Tombow Mono Aqua Glue.
Finishing touches were Kindyglitz Crystalina Glitter Glue to the butterflies + the tiny hearts - and Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops to the flower centres.
Once I had finished the card front, I glued it to a white card base.
Thanks for having a peek at my card! You are welcome to visit my blog - Instead of Ironing Blogspot - this link will take you to my blog post ---> https://instead-of-ironing.blogspot....hday-card.html I have a photo of the card inside which I decorated to match the card front. |
