Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card is a very simple, easy to recreate card. I am using products from Blank Page Muse:
I stamped the flamingos on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I heat set the stamped image before coloring it with Altenew Woodless Watercolor pencils. I used a waterbrush to apply the pigment to the birds. I fussy cut the flamingos leaving a thin border around it. I added shimmer to the flamingos' feathers using Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.
I trimmed a heavy weight white cardstock at 4 1/4" x 11". I scored this on the long side at 5 1/2" to create a top folding A2 note card.
I created a DIY heart stencil using a Lawn Fawn heart die and a re-purposed plastic from an accordion file. I die cut the heart on the plastic. I used a metal shim to add more pressure as I die cut the plastic. I reinforced the cut with a craft blade. Despite the use of the metal shim, there were parts that were not cut.
I used the negative cut of the DIY stencil and positioned this over the notecard. I temporarily adhered this stencil to the notecard to prevent any shifting while I blend ink over the stencil. I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Speckled Egg and a large blender blush to apply ink on the note card.
I added clouds to the inked heart by placing the mixed media stencil over the DIY heart stencil. I covered the open areas of the stencil that I will not be using on my card with tape to avoid blending ink over it.
I heat embossed the sentiment on the bottom of the heart using Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossing powder. I temporarily adhered the flamingos to the cardfront to help me approximate where I will stamp this sentiment.
I adhered the flamingos to the card front with liquid adhesive. I added a black dot on the flamingos' eyes using a black Sakura Glaze pen.
I rounded the corners of the card using a corner puncher.
I hope you like today's project. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
