Reach for the Stars!

 

Happy July 4th! I hope that you're having a wonderful holiday and are celebrating with this sale!

Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week my teammates and I are exploring stars, so I've made an encouragement card with lots of stars and loads of ink.

Emperor Red and Blue Lagoon Elements Inks were brushed onto the opposite corners of two pieces of white cardstock with heavier concentrations of color on the edges and minimal blending. Sundance Elements Ink was brushed onto the empty areas which served to brighten and blend the colors. 

91% Isopropyl Alcohol was spritzed onto the inked papers until the paper was completely saturated. I let the alcohol sit for a few seconds to let it blend and lighten the inks, then heat set the papers which moved the alcohol around a bit.

Blue Lagoon Elements Ink was brushed over the Time Tunnel Stencil onto one of the panels. 

Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by  was used to stamp the tee shirt from the Nothing To Wear Clear Polymer Stamp Set  then heat set. Paradise VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp the star from the stamp set into the center of the tee shirt. Chalk pencils were used to add dimension to the tee shirt, which was then fussy-cut, edged with a black marker, and set aside.

Blue Lagoon Elements Ink was used to stamp the Scripted Stars Clear Stamp 468  onto the top right and bottom left of the second piece of inked cardstock. Blue Lagoon Elements Ink was also brushed over the Smitten with Stars Stencil 121 onto the top left and bottom right of the panel.

Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp the "reach for the stars" sentiment from the Voyager Clear Stamp Set 198  on the upper left of the panel.

The fussy-cut reserved tee-shirt was adhered to the background panel using dimensional foam adhesive. The background panel was edged with Blue Lagoon Elements Ink and adhered to a black 5" x 7" card.
