Create a beautiful card of hope with just a single punch, a stamp, and some pretty bling! Resist stamping adds a unique style to the focal panel of this card.
Instructions
STEP 1:
Cut a piece of pink cardstock to 4 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches and sand the edges. This is your card front.
STEP 2:
Cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 inches, rough up the edges with a fingernail, and adhere to the pink card front, centering.
STEP 3:
Punch five ribbons from pink cardstock and adhere the along the bottom of the kraft cardstock. Affix one gem to each bow as shown.
STEP 4:
Ink just your ribbon image with clear embossing ink, stamp onto glossy white paper. Emboss with clear embossing powder.
STEP 5:
Pounce a stipple brush into the surface of the red dye ink to load it up with color. Blot off excess by pouncing color off on a scrap piece of paper. With the same pouncing motion, apply color over the entire stamped image and the area surrounding it.
STEP 6:
Take a blender pen and load it with red ink by touching it to the ink pad’s corner. Apply the color to just the inside of the ribbon and flower images, deepening the color slightly. Buff the excess ink off the embossed image with a soft cloth.
STEP 7:
Trim the piece and ink just the “HOPE” portion of the image with black ink. Stamp it onto the bottom right, as shown. Rough up the edges with a fingernail.
STEP 8:
Mat your piece first with white cardstock, leaving the top and bottom margins slightly larger than the sides. Trim top and bottom with small-scallop edged scissors. Then mat again with light yellow cardstock. This will be a straight edge.
STEP 9:
Attach the matted piece to the top center of the card front with dimensional adhesive.
STEP 10:
Cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches and fold in half. This is your card body. Adhere the card front to the card body.
