For the first card, Wendy used:
-Crab from Impression Obsession
-Coral Fancy Die from Hero Arts
-3 Colors of Distress Ink: Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, and Mermaid Lagoon
-5 Colors of Delicata Ink: Ruby Red, Emerald Green, Sapphire Blue, Champagne, Celestial Copper
To make this card:
- Stamp out the Crab onto Solar White card stock and color it in using a coral-colored Faber Castell Marker
- Create a mask of the crab (to do this, stamp out the crab onto a separate piece of paper, fussy cut it, and overlay it on top of the crab you just stamped out.. it should match up and perfectly cover the stamped image).
- Lay the mask on top of the crab, holding it in place, and use the 3 colors of Distress Inks to swipe across the rest of the paper until you have transferred enough ink to create an interesting blue background
- Then, die-cut the Coral using black card stock
- Wendy used the new Delicata inks to lightly colorize the coral/seaweed by just lightly rubbing the ink pad onto the die-cut shapes
- Accent the card with a little bit of Gold Mesh Ribbon and glue down the coral/seaweed using the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive
What a fun technique using the new Delicata metallic inks!!
Tonic- Layering Circles
Penny Black- So Many Thanks
- Wendy used one of the new papers from the Graphic 45 line, Floral Shoppe
- Wendy explained that you can run the dies at the same time through the die-cut machine by laying the sentiment INSIDE one of the circles. She cut the shapes out of the floral paper mentioned above.
- Then, Wendy mounted the die-cuts onto purple paper, added a bit of 2-tone purple ribbon, and mounted the entire thing onto a light pink card base
She used:
-5 Delicata Inks: Ruby Red, Emerald Green, Sapphire Blue, Champagne, Celestial Copper
-Tree Stamp from Fred B. Mullett
- Take a piece of black card stock and swipe each of the Delicata inks across the paper
- Stamp the trees in Onyx Black Versafine ink
- Use Detail Clear Embossing powder and heat-set it
- Layer the image with Antique Gold paper and mount onto Burgundy card stock
The next card making class will be offered on Tuesday, May 8th
