Celebrate with Balloon Adventures - One Hour Card Class 058 - OHCC058

Stamps - Balloon Adventures, Work of Art, Just for You, Time of Year (Hostess 2016/17).

Ink - Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight.

Paper - Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight.

Tools - Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits,  Big Shot, Tombow glue, Dimensionals, SNAIL, Celebrations Duo embossing folder (Occasions 2017), sequins, Bunch of Banners Framelits, Misti.

Spritz the card stock lightly before embossing to keep it from having little tears or creases. 

Place the left edge of the cardstock on the 1” mark of the Misti and tight to the bottom.  Center the small smear stamp image from the Work of Art stamp set over the b and r.  Have the bottom of the stamp at about the 3” line on the Misti.  Stamp with Daffodil Delight ink.  Press firmly enough to get a solid connection, but not with too much pressure.  Let the stamp set on the paper a few seconds so the ink transfers fully.  Too much pressure will allow the image to accidentally stamp inside the letters. 

Move the left edge of the cardstock to the 2-1/2” mark on the Misti.  Re-ink with Daffodil Delight ink and stamp again. 

Place the right edge of the cardstock to the 3-1/2” mark on the Misti.  Re-ink with Daffodil Delight ink and stamp again. 

Move the right edge of the cardstock to the 4-1/8” mark on the Misti.  Clean the stamp without moving it. Stamp with Bermuda Bay ink.

Place the left edge of the cardstock to the 1-3/4” mark on the Misti.  Re-ink with Bermuda Bay ink and stamp again.

Stamp the phrase, add the dies, bow and sequins to the card front.

Fold a piece of writing tablet paper in half for the inside of the card.  Stamp a phrase.

Decorate an envelope with balloon images.

SU268 Watercolor Resist

There has been a lot of watercolor backgrounds on Pinterest using this particular stamp set so I wanted to give it a try.  Decided I would follow Stamped Silly’s video for instructions since she said it was quick and easy and could be done under 10 minutes!  I didn’t find it quite as easy as she makes it look but it was fun!  The added bonus - the stamp set is FREE with a $60 purchase during Sale-A-Bration but it ends March 31st, 2016!

Stamps: Botanicals For You, Work of Art (for the inside and envelope).

Cardstock: Black, Gold, Marina Mist , Whisper White, Watercolor Paper,

Ink: Marina Mist re-inker, Pink Pirouette re-inker, So Saffron re-inker,  Versamark Pad, Black.

Accessories: Black Stampin' Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Aqua Painters, Embossing Buddy, Gold Metallic bakers twine, Wink of Stella, sponge, gold sequins, fun foam.

Punch: Trio flower, ¼” circle.

To do the Watercolor Resist, stamp your image with Versamark on watercolor paper.  Emboss the Just for You in black EP.  Add water to your watercolor paper covering only the area you want to add color - which is down the middle.  I happen to have re-inkers but you can also push on your stamp pad lid to add some color to the lid and pick up color that way.  Starting with your middle color, use your aqua painter to pick up some of the ink then touch down.  Gently color that area allowing your ink to spread.  If you want a more intense color, just add more ink.  Repeat with your next area you want to color and continue until you have added all the color you want.  Use a heat tool to dry it.  Your paper will warp when it is wet causing the colors to bleed into one another.  If you do not want your colors to bleed, tape the edges of your paper on to your work surface using low tack painter's tape before staring.

I didn’t have any Fast Fuse so I just used normal Snail on my fun foam.  It really does not hold that good to the foam.

I did some splattering too – can you see it?

I punched ¼” circles from black cardstock and colored them with Wink of Stella for the flower centers.  I also added a few scattered sequins.

I cheated for my envelope and the inside of my card – I used the smears from the Work of Art stamp set!
