In a moment of sheer craziness, I agreed to make a "customer" 15 cards -- 5 Thank You, 5 Sympathy and 5 Birthday! Yikes. I'm not that prolific. However, this set by Gina K Designs is going to make it easy. Pure relaxation to sit and color. Just like kindergarten used to be (and should be IMHO, but that's another story). I'll use it and its many sentiments for 6 of the cards, so expect more variations.
1. Stamped Arranged with Love by Gina K Designs on white paper with Memento Tuxedo ink.
2. Trimmed and colored with copics, including the background.
3. Held my breath and stamped the sentiment inside the "card" -- this set is so versatile, most of the sentiments fit inside the little card. The card makes the whole thing look like a bouquet.
4. I was happy with the card, but wanted to add something. Took Ranger Crackle Accents and applied to background and waited for the mysterious crackling to begin. Nothing was happening. Parts were drying and were not crackled. So, I hit it with my heat gun and literally snap -- bubbles form!! I've never seen this done before so I am laying claim to a new to me technique -- Bubbles. Bubbles on blue = water. Think I'll get a tutorial on Splitcoast? Me neither!!
5. Adhered to black mat (Gina K cardstock) and adhered to white card and added a couple of self adhesive pearls to frame the sentiment.
Mood when done = what else? Bubbly!
