This month’s collection features bold urban images and textures. For this card I used the layering sky stamps in the June Hero Studio Cardmaking Kit to stamp the sky in a blend of Dusty Blue and Cornflower Core Inks, with just a bit of Summer Sky at the top, onto a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock. For the white cloud layer, I just barely touched a Charcoal ink pad to the stamp before very lightly stamping down.
Next, I positioned the stencil from the kit over the bottom portion of the panel, making sure to overlap the bottom edge of the sky scene. Using an extra large blending brush, I blended a heavy layer of Charcoal ink over the stencil. Then I used a die from the Nesting Rectangles Infinity Die Set to cut the panel down to a smaller size.
For the sentiment, I used Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink and white embossing powder to heat emboss the sentiment, which is also from the kit, and then to finish the card I used foam tape to adhere the card front to a card base.
Stay Coo!
My next card features the June Clear Set + Dies of the Month as well as the Decorative Tile Pattern Stencil. I stamped the images in Intense Black ink and then colored them with Copic markers. For the background, I stamped the floor tile pattern and then positioned the stencil above the floor. I blended Mist ink over the stencil to create a tiled wall.
To assemble the card, I trimmed the panel down and then used foam tape to adhere the stamped images and sentiment. Then used more foam tape to adhere the card front to a panel of Arctic cardstock and which I then glued to a card base.
Thank you so much for visiting! Your next stop is the wonderful Nicol Spohr. Be sure to read below for giveaway details!
