Celebrate with cake

Happy Friday! I am in LOVE with this stamp set! Though it has one main stamp with a bunch of greetings, it really can be stamped in many different ways. I decided for this card, to make a pretty birthday or wedding card. I played with water colouring using an Aqua Painter and ink. I don’t have them yet (they’re on their way), but, there is also a coordinating set of Dies that take this stamp set even further! 🙂 I’m getting the birthday dies in my order tomorrow.

Dimensions:

Granny Apple Green: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
Pool Party: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Flirty Flamingo: 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
Watercolor Paper: 3″ x 3 5/8″

Directions:

1. Run the Pool Party cardstock through a die-cut machine with the Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder. Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere to card. (I put the background upside down to give it a more subtle effect)
2. Use the dotted stamp to stamp a background on the Flirty Flamingo cardstock using the matching ink.
3. Colour the Whisper White Crinkled Ribbon using the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. Wrap around the Flirty Flamingo cardstock and tie in a knot. Use the Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere to the card.
4.  Stamp the cake stamp using Versamark, add Black Embossing Powder, tap off then heat set using the Heat Tool.
5. Press the Pool Party ink pad on to a Stampin’ block and use an Aqua Painter to pick up colour and watercolour the cake. Let dry a bit and do it again with a bit less water. Do the same to colour the flowers and leaves.
6. Stamp some areas with the spot stamp using Basic Gray. You can stamp multiple times before re-inking to have different shades. Adhere to card using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
7. Stamp the greeting on Watercolor Paper using Basic Gray. Cut out using Paper Snips, then add to the card using Mini Dimensionals. (Tip: move paper when cutting instead of moving the scissors to make the cuts smoother)
