Project Recipe
Card Base - Cut A4 Thick Very Vanilla card stock, landscape orientation, at 5 7/8", score at 4 1/8"
Mat - Cut Lemon Lime Twist card stock mat
5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
Top Mat - Cut Very Vanilla 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"
Shimmery White card stock - cut 4" x 4"
Take a piece of Shimmery White card stock and with a Post It note mask it off half way horizontally.
With Pool Party Ink sponge colour lightly onto the card stock, starting on the mask and sponging in light, circular motion below the mask.
Lift the mask
Punch a 1/2" circle from the adhesive strip of another Post It note and position this at the centre of the horizontal line, with about 2/3rds above the horizon.
Replace the mask on the horizontal line, over the lower edge of the circle.
Lightly sponge the Balmy Blue ink in a wedge-shape up from the circle.
With Blushing Bride ink, sponge either side of the circle, blending into the pink as you go.
TIP: Pick ink up from the stamp pad by pressing the corner of the acrylic block onto the ink pad - take the ink onto the sponge from this.
Stamp the grass/flower image onto the left, lower half of the sponged background
Cut this using a 2 1/2" die with the horizon across the centre.
Mount the circle onto the Very Vanilla mat with SNAIL.
Stamp a sentiment in Soft Suede.
Stick Very Vanilla to Lemon Lime Twist and this to card front.
Stamp image inside card and remember to also stamp the envelope!
