The cardigan image in the Forever Friendship Stamp Set is so cute. I decided to use my Water Painters to colour the background and the cardigans with three of the new 2022 -2024 In Colours – Parakeet Party, Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet.
I love the play on words in the sentiment!
The water colour wash across the background looks great with all the variation in tones. For the water colouring I used Shimmery White card stock.
Before placing the coloured panel on the card base, I cut two scalloped pieces using the Penned Flowers Dies and adhered them to each side. Then I glued it down.
I stamped three cardigans, using StazOn ink, and then coloured each of them. With water colouring I was able to give each cardigan areas of light and dark, as well as a much darker trim.
My Dark Basic Black Blends pen was perfect for featuring the buttons.
After some fussy cutting, the cardigans were popped up on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped in each of the three colours then I trimmed them down using one of Celebrations Tag Dies. I like it when I can use a label die, like this one, and I can shorten or lengthen the cut.
To finish the card, I stamped the cardigan in Starry Sky inside the card and on the envelope. Then I added some of the 2022 2024 IN Colour Matte Decorative Dots.
These are most of the products I used to make this card.
I’m not sure what I will share tomorrow – it will be a surprise, both to me and you.
Until then, happy stamping.
