It's Tuesday, so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week is an "Anything Goes" week, so I decided to make a summery encouragement card with the Zen Bumblebee Clear Stamp Set by Melina Dahl for That's Crafty and a sentiment combining words from the Lots of Words Clear Stamp Set, also by That's Crafty
Here's the card:
The first step was to cut, score, and fold textured white cardstock to create an A2 card. Summertime VersaFine Clair Ink was sponged around the outside .5" of the card, then heat set.
Copic-friendly black ink was used to stamp the large floral butterfly from the Zen Bumblebee Clear Stamp Set by Melina Dahl for That's Crafty. I fussy-cut the butterfly, colored it with Copic markers, edged it with a black marker, then added a coat of shimmer to the wings with Sparkle Glitter Brush Pen Clear Overlay by Spectrum Noir.
Sundance, Russet Orange, and Paprika Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps were brushed onto a white cardstock then sprayed with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol until the paper was saturated. A heat gun was turned onto the wet paper which moved the blended-ish ink a bit whilst drying the cardstock. The panel was lightly misted with water to add some splotches and splatter. The panel was then trimmed to 5.25" x 4".
The honeycomb stamp from the Zen Bumblebee Clear Stamp Set, a a stamping platform, and Summertime VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko were used to create borders on both sides of the background panel. Summertime VersaFine Clair Ink was used to edge the panel.
Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the word "Be" from the Lots of Words Clear Stamp Set by That's Crafty. Summertime VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp the word "Amazing" from Lots of Words Clear Stamp Set.
Antenna were drawn onto the background panel, then the colored, fussy-cut bee was adhered to the background panel as shown.
The final step was to adhere the background panel to the reserved card.
