Welcome
Meet today's card.
A super simple one for congratulations of a new baby.
I thought this cute image from Old Island Stamp Company would work great for this.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a panel from a piece of heavy white cardstock and then positioned the Marvelous Rectangle mask from A Colorful Life Designs over that. (they are so awesome to use instead of taping it all off)
- I took out the Tie Dye set from Hero Arts and using one of the stamps, I inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink and randomly stamped inside the masked area. I repeated that process using some Twisted Citron and then some Broken China until the area was covered.
- Next, I placed the stamped piece into my Misti and I took out this sweet birdhouse stamp called Community from The Old Island Stamp Company and stamped it with some Versafine Clair ink over the background.
- I stamped the birdhouse again onto some white cardstock, fussy cut it out and then watercoloured it with a paintbrush using some diluted DOX inks with the same colours mentioned above.
- Using my Misti again, I stamped the 'Congrats' with some Versafine Clair and clear heat embossed it.
- I glued the inked panel to a piece of blue cardstock and then to a heavy card base. I pop dotted the watercoloured birdhouse back onto the image.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
