Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!
This card starts off with a 4 ¼ x 5 ½ panel of card stock.
I then selected the stamps that I wanted
to use from Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and lined up the stamps on my stamping block.
I used the back of the cardstock panel to do my test stamping.
This helps me to figure the color of ink that goes best with the card
stock that I chose.
Also to work out the pattern that I want to stamp out.
For this color cardstock, Shaded Lilac Distress Distress Oxide looks the best.
Now it is time to stamp and create a pattern all the way down my cardstock panel.
I usually go 1/4 way down the paper, then stop and dry the ink.
This prevents me from accidentally smearing the freshly stamped ink on my hand.
Once your panel is complete, it is important to either let your ink dry or make it dry.
Next, I cut out the pieces of my cake with the new Cake Builder Die Set and colored my cake and pedestal in with alcohol markers. This is a quick and effortless way to get color on your die cuts.
Now that all the pieces of my card are ready to go, it is time to assemble.
For my card front and card base I use the Frames & Flags Die Set.
Once everything was cut out and assembled together, I added silver and white paint splatters to add interest to the background.
I also use the scallop circle from the Circle Frames Die Set.
After placing the scallop on the front of my card, I added on my cake and pedestal.
I used my Posca markers to add a bit of detail on the cake and pedestal.
The last thing to add to my card was the candles at the top.
Thanks for taking the time to check my way to use our newest sentiment stamps.
