Part 2: November Stamp Club Card

Bell and Boughs with Champagne Glass Glitter

Here is the second card for the November Stamp Club.  We tried a new ribbon technique on how to tie a bow.  You can see the video on how to do this HERE.

Directions:

1. Stamp the image in Black Stazon ink and colour using Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler ink on watercolour paper.

2. Sponge edges in Crumb Cake ink.

3. Tape large Cherry Cobbler card stock and DSP together.  Place strip of seam binding to front of card and tape in back.  Make bow as in instructional video.  (Thanks to Crafty Confessions blog!)

4. Tape watercoloured image, Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler card stock together.  Add dimensionals to the back and adhere to the DSP layers and card base.

5. Use the Tombo Liquid Glue and run a bead of glue around the four sides of the Cherry Cobbler card stock.  Sprinkle with Champagne Glass Glitter.

6. Add bow to edge with a glue dot.

Oh, So Lovely

I saw the layout for this card on one of my favorite blogs, Pink Tulle with Feathers and Sequins (see side bar). It was super easy to make. I used one of my favourite things: blender pens. I love colouring with them!

Technique: Watercolouring with Blender Pens

All you need to do is squish the ink pad when it is closed so that the lid will pick up the ink from the pad. Open up the ink pad and there will be colour on the lid. Dip your blender pen in the ink on the lid and colour away. Easy as one-two-three!

Buy the way, the ribbon is a very close match to SU's Rose Red card stock. Not red as the photo shows!
