Pink Auricula (by Jodie)

Good morning everyone.

The month of August has flown by. Hard to believe that this is my third and final project as this month's Guest Design Team member. It's been wonderful.

 

We're going to end with the flower theme and colouring with Distress Inks. 

Supplies:

Stamps- Loving Sentiments Rubber Stamp Sheet - A5, Auricula Script

Distress Inks - Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Twisted Citron, Worn Lipstick

Ranger Archival Ink- Jet Black

White cardstock, dark pink & pink cardstock

Waterbrush- Detailer tip

Double sided foam tape

Gold cardstock

Corner punch

Gold sticker strips 

 

Stamp the image onto white cardstock with Archival ink.

Taking the Distress ink pad, Picked Raspberry, smush it onto a non stick surface.

Then pick up the colour with your waterbrush and begin painting in your image.

Start with your lightest colour, let dry slightly, then come in with your darker colours for contrast.

In order to get deeper colours, use less water, to blend, add more water.

If you feel you've got too much water, simply dab with a paper towel. 

You may have to go over certain areas a few times to create depth of colour.

Once piece is dry, fussy cut out image, leaving a small border.

Cut white cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (13.97cm x 21.59cm) and fold in half.

Cut a piece of pink cardstock to 4"x 5 1/4" (10.16cm x 13.34cm). Punch corners with corner punch, and add gold strips of stickers for interest.

Cut two strips of dark pink cardstock, one 1/4" x 5 1/4" (.60cm x 13.34cm), and the other one 3/4" x 5 1/4" (1.90cm x 13.34cm) and attach to middle of pink layer. Attach to front of card.

Attach image to card front with foam tape.

Stamp saying with Archival ink onto white cardstock, trim and mat with gold cardstock. Use corner punch to punch corners of saying and attach to card.
