CARD DETAILS
I started to work on my card by dry embossing the stencil into a panel of Fog cardstock using my die cutting machine and embossing sandwich. Watch THIS video tutorial for the how-to.
Next, I ink blended white pigment ink over the design, I used a light hand and applied a bit of ink onto the panel. Once the white ink was applied I used colored ink and added color to this design. I used Lemon Zing and Sunshine for the yellow flower, Jellybean and Green Apple for the leaves and Hollyhock for the pink flowers.
I trimmed my panel to 3 3/4 x 5″ and foam mounted onto A2 white card base. Next, I stamped a sentiment in black ink from the new A Moma’s Love stamp set and cut it out using a coordinating die. I also die-cut additional layers from plain white cardstock, stacked them together using glue and used to create dimension for this sentiment.
I adhered the sentiment in the center of the panel. Next, I added splatter using Hero Arts white shimmer spray and embellished the card using sequins and Nuvo Drops in Ivory Seashell.
