A
6"x4" Anniversary Card featuring the Happy Wishes Level 2 SAB Item from 2018 and the Springtime Foils Level 1 SAB Item from the 2nd release.
These foils are GORGEOUS - especially when coloured with Stampin' Blends.
Project Recipe
Take a piece of Powder Pink Cardstock measuring 6" x 8" and score it on the long side at 4". Fold and burnish the scoreline to give a nice, crisp fold.
Cut a piece of the Springtime Foils sheet covered in leaves to measure 5 3/4" x 3 3/4". Using the Light Old Olive Stampin' Blend, colour in each of the leaves. Add shading to each leaf using the Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blend, then go over the whole leaf again with the Light pen to blend the colours nicely together. Use a tissue to buff over the leaves to bring out the silver foil.
Take the 'happy' stamp from the set and using a sponge dauber, carefully ink the top 1/3 of the image with Powder Pink Ink. Change Daubers and ink the middle 1/3 with Sweet Sugarplum ink, making sure you blend the edges a bit so you don't get any un-inked patches between this and the pink ink. Change Daubers again and ink the bottom 1/3 with Berry Burst ink. Take a piece of Whisper White Cardstock measuring at least 4" x 3".and, after 'huffing' on the stamp to re-moisten the ink, stamp the image in the centre. Add the 'anniversary' stamp below the 'happy' using Berry Burst ink.
Using the Layering Ovals Framelits Plain Die #2 (I number my layers from largest to smallest), cut around the stamped image. It will be a bit tight but if you position the die just right, you can get the whole image inside the oval.
Using Berry Burst Ink and 1/4 of a Stampin' Sponge, ink the edges of the oval.
Take a piece of Gold Metallic Thread measuring about 32", wrap it around your hand until it is all wound, then carefully remove the bundle of thread, making sure you hold onto all the threads where the ends meet. Check to make sure the circles of thread are bigger than the oval before sticking them to the back of the oval with some tape. Arrange the thread so it splays out behind the sentiment panel.
Using liquid glue, stick the Springtime Foils Panel onto the front of the card base. Stick five Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the oval, then stick that to the centre of the card.
Sit back and admire your creation!
Happy Stampin'
