Welcome to the weekend.
So appreciate that you dropped in to see what I am up to today.
I just picked up this fun die from Paper Rose called Color Wheel Love.
I was inspired by the card I made a few weeks ago after watching one of Vicki Boutin's lives.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began by creating some inky backgrounds using Vicki Boutin's Art Crayons and a piece of acetate. I simply scribbled the crayons onto the acetate, used a wet paintbrush to blend it out, then pressed onto my white cardstock. I did add some stenciling and splatters as well to each piece. When I was finished, I had 3 inked pieces.
- Next, using a piece of black cardstock, I die cut the Color Wheel and set that aside.
- I then die-cut my inked pieces using the same die with each inky panel I had created.
- I glued the black outline onto a piece of white cardstock as a base, then fussy cut around it. I then glued in all the different colours, fitting them all back into place varying the colours.
- I set that aside to dry and cut a 4 x 4 inch piece of white cardstock and got out my Gel Plate.
- Using a brayer and my Distress Oxide inks, I inked up my Gel Plate and then took a print.
- I placed the square panel into my Misti and stamped the 'Just Be Happy' sentiment from the Just Be Happy set by Visible Image, repeating it across the panel.
- I die-cut the Celebrate 3 times from white cardstock and glued those together. Using my foam finger dabber, I added some Picked Raspberry over the die applying more at the base and fading out as I reached the top.
- I glued the Gel Plate print onto a white card base, then pop dotted the Color Wheel over that.
- Lastly, I glued the 'Celebrate' over that.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
