Hi Crafty Friends! It's Cheryl with the Creative Team here to show you how I made some cards for the important men in my life, the cards read "Happy Father's Day", but change up the sentiments and these cards can be used for any occasion!
I made the card in portrait and landscape orientation! Which one do you prefer?
First I created a 5.5"x 4.25" card base using white card stock. Then I used a rectangle die to cut out a panel that's slightly smaller than the card base. Next, I used distress oxide ink in Tumbled Glass and a blending tool to add a light blue background to the lower right hand corner of the card. Place the
Wavy stencil over the light blue background and with a blending tool and
Peacock Blue Atelier Ink, blend in the atelier ink concentrating on the lower right hand corner and lightly bring in the color towards the center of the card to create an ombre look.
From the
Koi Pond stamp set, stamp out the Koi images of your choice using
Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink, color with your choice of coloring medium and then fussy cut. For the Lily Pads, I first stamped the largest lily pad stamp using the
Goddess Green Atelier Ink, then I used the
Peacock Blue on the next layer, and
Marigold Orange on the last layer. The Atelier Inks worked so well when layered! Fussy cut the lily pads.
Adhere the panel with the stenciled waves onto the card base. Then position the fussy cut images, and sentiment flags onto the card front as shown in the picture above. Trim off any excess of the sentiment flags that extends beyond the Koi. Adhere the fussy cut images and sentiment flags onto the card and there you have it!
