Last of the three cards we are making at my Birthday Party Stamp Class on 7/19, such a fun way to celebrate my birthday!
I love making my own backgrounds, layering ink and stamped images makes me feel so artistic!
To layer the ink for this card I started with the piece of Whip Cream card stock. Then I brought in my Sour Lemon, Orange Rave and Outrageous Pink stamp pads. With a Dauber I added the three colors of ink to the paper, rubbing the ink in some and stamping circles with the dauber too.
Then I stamped the Graduated Dots background stamp over the top of the sponging with Black Licorice ink. INSTANT LOVE!
For the focal images on this card I used stamps from the To You stamp set. Again using Black Licorice ink, I stamped the images on the coordinating card stocks, to match the inked background.
The cake is stamped on Whip Cream card stock, but it needed to be a little more special, so I covered the entire cake with Journey Glaze. If you have not already, soon you will realize I have a serious CRUSH on Journey Glaze! LOOK how clear it dries. And it is flexible, so it won't crack when you send this card in the mail. As I have always said, love is in the details. And adding the glaze is the love on this card!
This card is very versatile and could be for birthday friends of all ages. To write on the inside you could use a Gel Pen, a chalk marker or add a 1/4 of a sheet of paper. I am so looking forward to making these cards with my friends for my birthday! If you'd like to see the other two card we are making you can see them on this blog post and then on this blog post. You can see all the fun things I used to make this card at the bottom of this post.
***JULY SPECIAL!!!***
In the month of July you get to DOUBLE the stamp sets that come in your Journey Coach starter kit!!! What is a Journey Coach? I am a Journey Coach, I get 20% off all of the things I order from Fun Stampers Journey. I get together with my friends and make cards and cute things with my paper crafting supplies. When my friends order through me I earn income. I do have a minimum amount of sales that I have to turn in to stay active as a coach, but they are the LOWEST in the industry! To stay active as a coach you need to turn in $150 in orders a quarter! If you do not turn in the orders there is no penalty, the stamping police are not going to come and take your starter kit away, it's yours to keep. So, my question to you is, why wouldn't you want to be a Journey Coach with me! If you'd like to read more about becoming a Journey Coach, visit the JOIN MY TEAM page at the top of the blog.
