Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here! There's an "Anything Goes" theme this week, so I've made a St. Patrick's Day card to celebrate!
PSA: Topflight Stamps is running a St. Patrick's Day Flash Sale! Pop on over to indulge your wish list! There are lots of great new and old products available. But you'd better hurry!
Here's my card!
Place the outside part of the Sticker Stencils 6 - Bottle Collection by Lavinia Stamps onto a piece of Bristol paper so that the bottle shaped aperture is in the center of the paper. Place one of the Mini Hills Masks - Stencils by Lavinia Stamps across the bottom of the bottle.
Temporarily place the cauldron stamp from the Bubbling Cauldron Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps so that it's sitting on the Mini Hills Mask. Use a rainbow cutting die to cut repositionable sticker paper, then place the rainbow sticker so that it's adhered to the Sticker Stencil 6 and will end in the cauldron. Remove the cauldron stamp.
Brush Della Blue Elements Ink by Lavinia Stamps from the edges of the stencil's bottle aperture towards the center. Concentrate the ink so that it's heaviest around the outlines of the bottle.
Trace the Mini Hills Masks - Stencil onto cardstock and fussy-cut along the tracing lines to create a negative area of the mask. Label the two sections so you know the top and the bottom. Place the top portion over the blue-inked area. Brush Green Parrot and Lime Punch Elements Inks over the paper mask and the Sticker Stencil to create a grassy hill.
Use magnets and/or low-tack tape to secure the image panel to the base of a stamping platform being sure to keep the Sticker Stencil and the rainbow mask in place.
Position the cauldron stamp from the Bubbling Cauldron Clear Polymer Stamp Set facedown on the hill. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp.
Position the fairies from the 3 Dancing Fairies Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps in the bottle's sky area. Ink the stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp.
Remove the rainbow mask and color the rainbow with Copic markers. Use a gold acrylic paint pen and a gold glitter pen to create the pot o'gold. Use Sparkle Clear Overlay Brush Pens by Spectrum Noir to add some sparkle to the fairies' wings. Remove the Sticker Stencil and place it back on its carrier sheet.
Heat set the image panel.
Secure the image panel onto a magnetic craft mat. Place the bottle sticker mask from the Sticker Stencil used previously over the stamped and colored bottle.
Place the same Mini Hills Masks - Stencil used previously to cover the bottom of the image panel.
Place the Sun and Clouds 6x6 Stencil by Carla Creaties/Vaessen Creative towards the top part of the image panel. Brush Della Blue Elements Ink over the top of the stencil onto the image panel. Rotate the stencil and move it downwards and brush Della Blue Elements Ink over the top of the stencil. Repeat this process until you have a cloudy sky.
Place the home-made mask over the sky area of the image panel. Brush Olive Elements Ink over the stencil onto the image panel. Brush Pine, Green Parrot, and Lime Punch Elements Inks to fill in the grassy area of the image panel. Tear a piece of scrap cardstock, place it onto the grassy area, then brush Olive Elements Ink over the torn cardstock to create shading and detail. Use a white chalk pencil to add highlights to the bottle and to the cauldron. Use green chalk pencils to add shading to the grassy areas. Set the image panel aside.
Cut a piece of Bristol paper to 5.25" x 8.25". Center a rectangular cutting die facedown on the paper, secure with low-tack tape, and run the combination through your die-cut machine to create a frame.
Brush Pine, Green Parrot, and Lime Punch Elements Inks over the frame and heat set. Randomly stamp the Mini Lucky Clover Clear Polymer Stamp onto the frame using Grass Green, then Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Inks. Add second generation stamping with both greens to fill the frame. Edge the interior and exterior of the frame with Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink. Heat set the frame. Splatter gold acrylic paint over the frame.
Adhere the frame over the image panel.
Brush a small scrap of Bristol paper with Green Parrot and Lime Punch Elements Inks. Heat set. Pounce an anti-static pouch onto the piece of cardstock. Place the inked scrap of Bristol paper onto the base of a stamping platform. Ink the "Celebrate" stamp from the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle with Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink. Pour clear detail embossing powder onto the wet ink, pour the excess powder back into its container, and heat set. Use a cutting die to cut the sentiment. Ink another piece of Bristol paper with Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink, heat set it, cut with the matching cutting die, and use it to mat the sentiment die-cut. Adhere the complete sentiment nameplate to the bottom as shown.
Create a 5.5" x 8.5" card from white cardstock. Sponge Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink around the outer .5" of the card. Heat set.
Adhere the framed image panel to the card. Use gold epoxy stickers to finish the card.
