So today, I share this card I created using the Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. This card was created for a "sunflower" themed card swap for a swap group I'm in on Facebook called, The Card Shack. It also gave me the opportunity to put ink to stamp. In this card, I used masking, heat embossing, and water coloring...yes, water coloring, techniques to create this simple card.
I started by stamping the image on the left with Versafine Clair Pinecone. I created a mask, covered the first image then stamped the second...I had a little too much space (or so I thought) but kept on going by masking the second image and stamping the third. If I had wanted the middle image to be in the forefront, then I would have stamped and masked it first then stamped the left and right sunflower image.
Because of the drying time of the Versafine Clair, I was still able to add clear embossing powder over the complete image then heat set it with the heating tool. I broke out the Stampin' Up! Water Color pencils and added my colors. Once the panel was completely dried, I took a sponge dauber and added color to the center of each sunflower. I stamped the sentiment directly on the panel then punched it out with the label punch. Used the same punch to punch a matting layer in Cherry Cobbler and there you have it...card complete.
Cutting:
Basic White:
- 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
- 4" x 5 1/4"
Cherry Cobbler: Scrap for sentiment layer
I hope you try this card and if you do, please share it with.
Happy Stamping!
