Craft Your Life Project: Seasonal Blooms
This reel gives you a quick view of how to make this card.
Here are the steps that you need to take:
- Place a 5″ x 7″ piece of white cardstock in your Stampwheel
- Locate your Seasonal Blooms stamp where you want it to be and then pick it up with the lid
- Load your stamp with Obsidian ink and then lower the lid down over the cardstock and stamp your image.
- Remove your stamped panel from the stampwheel and then add a scrap of white cardstock large enough to stamp the butterfly on it. Go ahead and stamp it with Obsidian. Ensure that your ink is good and dry before proceeding.
- Color the card panel using woodless watercolor pencils
- Next, we’ll use Watercolor Brush Markers and water to color the butterfly
- Add a little pizzaz to the butterfly by coating the butterfly with glue and adding glitter.
- Use the coordinating die to die-cut the butterfly
- While you have your die-cutting machine out, go ahead and die-cut the sentiment from brushed gold cardstock
- Trim a piece of colored cardstock that coordinates with your coloring to 5″ x 7″. I use green.
- Attach the colored cardstock to a white 5″ x 7″ card base using glue tape.
- Trim the colored panel to 4.375″ x 6.375″ or use a die to die-cut it
- Pop the colored panel up with Instant Dimension Foam Tape. Then pop the butterfly on top of it.
- Lastly, add the sentiment with liquid glue.
