Hello! Welcome back to my blog! A new month means a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. For this month of November, Incy Wincy is not being sponsored by a stamp company but rather we are paying tribute to a stamp company, STAMPlorations. Please visit the challenge blog post to know more about this company and its owner's battle with cancer. The challenge theme for this month is Giving Thanks and/or Encourage a Friend.
I printed the image on white cardstock. I used a toner printer since I am going to foil this image. The image I used on this card is linked below. I foiled the image using the Minc Machine. I colored the image using a detailed blending brush and dye inks. I really like the result of this technique, the soft and subtle colors. To step it up, I colored in the details using color pencils.
I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around it.
For the background panel, I trimmed a patterned paper at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I flicked gold watercolor to this patterned paper. I added gold to the edges of this panel by gently sliding the embossing pad to each edge. I then poured gold embossing powder to the edges then heat set it.
I added details to a wide patterned paper strip with the use of an edger die from Impression Obsession. I did not snip the dies apart so I can run the dies together through the die cut machine. I adhered strips of watercolor paper to the back to add a little bit of dimension to this wide strip. I adhered this to the patterned paper panel.
For the sentiment, I die cut this on orange cardstock using sentiment and alphabet dies from Concord & 9th, Avery Elle and Hero Arts. I die cut extras to layer it on each other. I blended ink to the bottom parts of the letters, and pounced gold pearl powder to it.
I adhered the mug to the panel, then adhered the sentiment and alphabet die cuts. I added details to the letters using a white gel pen.
