Hello! Today, it’s all about the backgrounds. I’ve created two cards using the Cardmakers Stamp Collection from Spellbinders. Did you know they are having a Die Cutting Sale-bration through Monday May 24? After you’re done reading my post, go check it out!
1. Stamp the Windy Sky Clear Stamp Set on a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock using Concord and 9th Midnight Ink. The Windy Sky Clear Stamp Set is in stock at Scrapbook.com.
2. Using the same ink, blend over it with an blending brush. I also added a little Eggplant Ink to the edges. Set aside to dry.
3. Stamp the image from Cute Boots Clear Stamp Set on Neenah Solar White cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink. Color it with the following Copic Markers: Y08, Y11, Y15, Y17, E13, E15, E17, R30, R32, R35. The Cute Boots Clear Stamp set is in stock at Scrapbook.com.
Fussy cut the image. I originally had stamped and masked this image then stamped the background but it didn’t like it so I just used the image on a new background.
4. Using a die or paper trimmer, cut the panel to 3 3/4” x 5”.
5. Cover some of the dots with Tonic Nuvo Drops in White Blizzard. Loosely follow swirls adding the same Nuvo Drops. Let dry.
6. Add background panel to an A2 card base cut from Hero Hues Nautical cardstock with foam tape.
