Happy friday everyone, I've used the lovely 'A touch of ink' stampset again today as I'm loving it, and I wanted to show you another card using it. I've used 3 colours for this card and I'm absolutely loving this hummingbird. So without me going on any longer lets get started.
Materials needed:
Basic white thick cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4" score longside at 5 7/8" - card base
1pc - 4" x 5 3/4" for the inside of card
1pc - approx 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" for the sentiment
1/2 an A4 sheet for stamping all the images on to
Melon mambo cardstock
1pc - 4" x 5 3/4" for the front apperture piece
Granny apple green ink
Bermuda bay ink
Melon mambo ink
Sponge daubers
Wink of stella
Dimensionals
Card recipe:
1. Cut, score and burnish the card base.
2. Cut the inner layer and with melon mambo ink, stamp the flower image using both the outer image stamp and then the fill in stamp and glue it into place.
3. Cut your melon mambo piece and die cut the largest straight oval shape out of the middle, now run this through your machine using the paint texture 3d embossing folder.
4. On the front of the card base stamp the leaf image outer and fill in, using granny apple green ink (making sure it's in the right place for the apperture).
5. Place dimensionals all over the reverse side of the apperture piece and then place this on the front of the card.
6. Stamp all of the images that are required (use the sponge daubers to apply different colours to the hummingbird) and using the paper snips fussy cut them all out.
7. Give them all a slight curve using the bone folder and then using wet glue place them onto the card front, some of them are glued to the white card through the apperture and some are glued to the back of the apperture itself, this gives more dimension to all of the different elements, rather than just glueing them flat.
8. Now with the small piece of white cardstock stamp the sentiment using bermuda bay ink, and then place this into the die on the section that is going to be cut out.
Alternatively you can if you wish ink the many messages stamp up and using your stamparatus- 148187, ink the whole huge stamp up and then die cut all of the sentiments in one go and then you have lots of wordings ready to use for other projects. I chose just to use the 'Hello friend' from the 'A touch of ink' stampset which is a free one with an order of £90+ whilst sale a bration is on going (5th January - 28th Februaury).
9. Place a dimensional on the reverse of the sentiment and then attach to the front of the card.
10. Add wink of stella to the hummingbird and thats the card finished.
Hope you enjoyed this project and you give it a go. Take care and stay safe and happy crafting till next time.
