Step By Step Instructions:
- Die cut from Strathmore Bristol paper all the elements you need for your card, using the coordinating Love Quarry Die Set. I used on this project Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Save the negative parts of the dies.
- Stamp the outline illustrations from Love Quarry Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. Use the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
- Color the stamps with water based markers. I used on this card ZIG CLEAN COLOUR REAL BRUSH MARKERS:
- n.10 Black
- n.21 Light Carmine
- n.22 Carmine Red
- n.23 Scarlet Red
- n.28 Pale Pink
- n.29 Geranium Red
- n.71 Flesh Colour
- n.91 Light Grey
- n.95 Dark Grey
- n.202 Peach Pink
- Heat emboss in white onto black the sentiments from Love Quarry Stamp Set.
- Trim and score a slimline card base (8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
- Ink the card front with Tattered Rose, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress inks.
- Flick some water droplets and colorful splashes all across the background.
- Die cut Eccentric Hearts Slimline Die from Neenah Solar White paper and glue it directly on the card front with Distress Collage Medium Matte.
- Arrange and pop the colored stamp and the sentiments on the card front, using a foam tape for a fun dimensional look.
- Add some sparkling with Gina K Crystalline Drops.
That’s all for today!!! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
