Let’s Celebrate You

Posted on September 22, 2021 by Josee

Dimensions

  • Mossy Meadow: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Bumblebee: 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Basic White: 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ AND 1 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ die
  • Vellum Cardstock: 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″

Directions

  1. Scribble different colours around the Vellum Cardstock using the dark Stampin’ Blends.
  2. Add Rubbing Alcohol into a Stampin’ Spritzer and lightly spray the Vellum Cardstock to start the ink moving. Tap the colours with the Water Painter to spread them a bit. Let dry a bit.
  3. Add a little bit of Rubbing Alcohol into a small container. Pick up some alcohol with a small or medium Water Painter and tap it to get droplets to fall on the Vellum.
  4. Keep repeating any of the processes from #2 or #3 until you like the background.
    TIP: If you want to see a great tutorial and video, check out Patty’s instructions that I learned from!
  5. Take Wink of Stella and really squeeze the barrel until you have enough liquid that you can tap it and get droplets onto the vellum background. You can let the Vellum dry or use a Heat Tool to speed up the process.
  6. Adhere the vellum to the Basic White cardstock. (I used Stampin’ Seal+ and added it to all 4 sides, close to the edge).
    [Tip: Stampin’ Seal+  is Instant-bond, permanent adhesive. Strong seal adheres 3D projects and heavier layers securely.]
  7. Add a piece of Basic White cardstock to a same-sized Adhesive Sheet and use the sunflower detailed die to cut out 3 flowers using Basic White cardstock. Remove backing of Adhesive Sheet and place the flowers on the card. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess. (Tip: one of the flowers can be used for 2 sides)
  8. Take 2 piecesof Crinkled ribbon and colour with the dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend. Let dry. Wrap the ends of the longer ribbon to the backside of the card and adhere. Take the smaller piece of ribbon and wrap it around in a knot, then trim ends.
  9. Stamp the greeting with Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock. Cut out using the Stitched Rectangle die. Adhere it to the card using Dimensionals.
