A
wonderously unique card using the ink smooshing technique and a lot of sparkle!
Project Recipe
Start with your base card in Night of Navy. Measured at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" folded.
Cut a piece of Whisper White 4" x 5 1/8".
On a small separate piece of Whisper White, stamp your dragon from the Magic Day stamp set with Memento Black ink.
On a silicone mat or ziploc bag, shake your blue and green brusho powder out in a few spots.
Then spray with water to activate the color.
Gently press your sheet of whisper white on top of the color and use your fingers to rub the back of the cardstock. This allows the color to "smoosh" or smear around on the front.
Then lift it up and set it aside to dry.
During your drying time, color your dragon. I used a small plastic tray with green and blue brusho color and an Aquapen to color him.
I then used tomobow liquid glue over the scales and chin, then dusted him with dazzling diamonds glitter.
To give him some extra magic, I used Wink of Stella to cover the rest of him.
Use the dragon framelit and your big shot to cut out your dragon!
Once the dragon is dry, flip him over and apply a little snail adhesive.
Then gather your gold metallic thread in a few circles and press a section down on the adhesive strip. Make sure that the loops spread out from behind the dragon.
Now that your ink smooshed piece is dry, apply some fast fuse to the back of it and center it on your base card.
Now, before sticking on the dragon, attach a couple stampin dimensionals to him, and pop him down!
Time to add a sentiment! I used the Happy Birthday stamp from Party Pandas.
On a small piece of Night of Navy, I stamped Happy Birthday in versamark ink, then covered in white embossing powder.
Use your heat tool to melt the power.
Complete this step by punching out your sentiment with the Classic Label Punch.
Finally, lets layer the sentiment over the bottom of the dragon by popping on two stampin' dimensionals!
Ta-da! A magical card that has everyone singing Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea....
