Hello Unity Friends, It is Natasha here and I am excited to be back on the blog today! Today I am sharing a card using the beautiful Pansy Praise stamp set as my focal image. I wanted to create a card with a rustic feel, with multiple layers! I used Pansy Praise as a focal image, paired this with the beautiful Tuscan Tile background stamp and some pattern paper! So let’s get started!
I started with a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock. I distress the panel lightly using Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink. Once the panel was completely dry, I stamped the Pansy Praise onto the card stock using VersaFine Ink. I then heat set the image using clear embossing powder. I then colored my image using my Zig markers. I work one layer at a time, making sure each layer is dry before adding on. Once my image was colored, I tore the panel using my hands for a distressed feel. I then did the same with a piece of pattern paper. I then adhered the 2 small panels together with liquid glue and darkened the edges using Distress Ink.
Next I created the next panel using the beautiful Tuscan Tile background stamp! I inked up the background using Core Inks from Hero Arts. I used: Orchid, Amethyst, and Raspberry Jam. I applied the ink directly to my background then used a blending brush to soften the lines between each color. I repeated this 2x to ensure I had the color I was looking for. Next I trimmed the panel using a Postage Stamp die. I then distressed the edges using Distress Ink, as well as embossing glaze.
Next I chose a coordinating piece of pattern paper and adhered this to a top folding card base. I then distress the edges using 2 shades of brown ink (Caramel and Espresso). Next I added splatters to all 3 layers using white acrylic paint, as well as some dye inks. I allowed each layer to dry, then adhered the layers together using both liquid glue and foam tape for added dimension. I added a piece of lace to the top left corner as well.
I completed my card with a Happy Birthday sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gnome Stamp set. I added a few small pearls as well!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I had a lot of fun creating today’s card!
