Jump for Joy - Pink and Red Challenge Card 2

Public Service Announcement!
There's a great stencil sale going on right now at Topflight Stamps!


Now for the featured project!


You've got Kathi here again! This week the Topflight Stamps team has a color challenge! We're using Pink and Red. I was so inspired by the color scheme that I've made two cards for the challenge.



Pounce an anti-static panel onto a 6" x 8" panel of mixed media cardstock. Using a stamping platform, position the jumping girl from the Tomorrow Doesn't Exist Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Visible Image on the top right of the panel. Ink the stamp with VersaMark or other embossing ink. Stamp the image. Re-ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp again. Repeat if necessary to attain a good impression. Add clear detail embossing powder, dump the excess back into its container, and heat set.

Sponge or brush light pink ink over the entire image panel to create a pink background. Use a Fine Spray Mister by Spectrum Noir to mist the inked panel with water to add some splotches. Heat set the panel.

Use magnets or low-tack tape to secure the Dynamic 8x8 Stencil by Lavinia Stamps onto the image panel. Sponge or brush light pink over the stencil to create a subtle tone-on-tone background. Remove the stencil.

Use magnets or low-tack tape to secure the Smile Stencil by Darkroom Door over the image panel as desired. Sponge or brush Emperor Red Elements Ink by Lavinia Stamps over the stencil onto the image panel. 

Remove the stencil and trim the image panel to 5.625" square. You'll note that I cut off quite a bit of the stenciled background, but I wanted to keep the "Jump for Joy" sentiment. Use Emperor Red Elements Ink to edge the panel. Use a black pigment ink pen to edge the panel.

Trim a piece of black cardstock to 5.75" square use it to mat the image panel. Adhere the matted image panel to the front of a red 6x6 card. Use the Quickie Glue Pinpoint Roller Pen by Sakura of America to adhere tiny shiny black star and burst sequins as shown to finish the card.
