My card started with an A2 panel of white cardstock that I softly ink blended using a Clarity Stencil Brush. I used Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and faded it to an ombré affect. I die cut this panel to give it the simple faux stitched edge and used one of the tiny images from this mini stamp set to add some interest to the background. I did this with Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass but stamped it off once for a second generation stamping where the pale blue is deepest and where it fades to white I used a 3rd generation stamp.
I then die cut the largest frame from Wonky Scalloped Frames Die, backed it with dimensional foam tape and applied it to the panel which in turn I applied to a 110lb white cardstock card base.
On Bristol Smooth cardstock I used Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil to stamp my bunny, balloon and hearts. I watercolour painted these images using Kuretake Zigs and then die cut them and stamped the sentiment on the balloon. Everything was added with more foam tape.
Had to share this close up of the ridiculously cute bunny .... I mean come on!!!?
The finishing touch was a simple dot of silver gel pen into the centre of each 'star' shape so there is a sweet twinkle when the card is handled.
I love this little stamp set so much I made a second card using it in a not too dissimilar way.
Thanks for coming by to read about these cards today, I hope to see you next time. Happy crafting!
