I love the stamp set Life is Beautiful! I've been enjoying making several cards with it. Here is one today. We just had the first day of autumn, and can't wait to see a huge harvest moon! That idea was my inspiration for this card.
Products that I used:
- Life is Beautiful stamp set (154871)
- Cardstock:
- whisper white card base, 4 1/4" x 11", fold at 5 1/2"
- whisper white to stamp on, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
- night of navy - die cut for the hill
- black - die cut the fence
- pumpkin pie - die cut the leaf
- whisper white scrap for the sentiment
Other: sponges (141337), Sequins for Everything (153556), Stamparatus (146276), Cut & Emboss Machine (149653)
Steps to create this card:
Cut & score card base; cut piece to be stamped (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). Set the base aside for now. The other piece will be where the stamping happens.
Create 2 masks: cut ANOTHER piece 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and cut out a circle where you want the moon.
Place the circle onto the piece to be stamped. Holding it down, sponge Night of Navy ink around it, darker towards the edge, and lighter as you get next to the circle (moon).
Remove circle.
Now, using the piece with the circle gone, place over the card and sponge with Pumpkin Pie.
Die cut out the slope in Night of Navy Card Stock using the hill die from Freezin' Friends. Glue this onto card front, lining up edges.
Using the Stamparatus, so that you can get a nice dark tree image (by re-stamping a few times), stamp tree in black. (Where the seam of the hill is, you will need to fill in with a black Sharpie or Stamp & Write black pen. But it's not really going to show, since the fence will cover it, so don't worry.)
Die cut the fence and leaf. Stamp sentiment (from the same Life is Beautiful set), and trim as a banner.
Putting it all together:
Glue fence and leaf onto card. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the "hello" on top of the leaf; add sequin(s) as you like. You could alternatively glue the sentiment piece down first, and adhere the leave on top. I did both versions for you to see here. Then adhere the entire piece onto your card base. All done!
What do you think? I would love to hear your comments, so let me know how you liked this. If I can help in any of your projects, or if you have questions, let me know that, too.
I hope you found some inspiration here.
Also, the masking and sponging technique are fun to do. Try it, won't you?!
