... I was hoping to make cards everyday, but as they say the best laid plans! Mine fell apart. I didn't even make a Valentine's card for my hubby. But this morning, I woke up and remembered a new stamp set that I got and decided to make a card for him today. Here it is:
Stamps: Gina K - String of Love
Inks: Versafine Clair -Nocturne; Gina K - Sea Glass
Dies: Gina K - String of Love
Accessories: White Card; Lawn Fawn - Cloudy Stencil; Copic Markers; Clear Wink of Stella Pen; Posca - White pen
I'm entering this card to the following challenges:
CAS Colours & Sketches - CASC&S#578 - I do love these colours
Addicted to Stamps and More! - ATSM#510 - to use stencils and/or dies
CAS on Friday - CASOF#327 - Anything Goes as long as it's CAS
The Male Room - TMR#207 - CAS
Never-Before-Used-Schtuff - NBUS#83 - The stamp and die set, and the cloud stencil
I stencilled, very lightly - you can just about see it in the photo - a cloudy sky. I used whatever ink was left on my brushes! I used my MISTI to stamp the balloons, removed it from the MISTI and coloured with Copic markers. I put the image back into the MISTI and stamped again with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink - I think this is the best black ink. I used the matching die to cut out the image, along with two blanks which I layered together for dimension. I added some highlights to the balloons with a white pen, and some sparkle with a shimmer brush - you can't really see it in the picture, but it's so pretty in real-life. I finished the front by adding a sentiment - my hubby is my happy place!! On the inside, I cut a piece of white card slightly smaller than the A2 notecard. I stamped the balloons in a pale teal colour, added another greeting in black, edged the panel with a dark teal Copic and adhered it to the notecard.
I am so looking forward to the sun shining again soon - it's so hard to take a decent photo in all the grey.
