Welcome to the April Stampers Showcase blog hop where our theme this month is Spring/Floral. If you have joined me from Mikaela‘s blog then welcome. I have chosen to use the Baby Wipe Technique with the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and some bright, rich colours.
To recreate the Beautiful Promenade card you will need;
Poppy Parade card base 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape cardstock 5½” by 3 ¾”
Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Vellum 6” by 1½”
Scrap Gorgeous Grape cardstock for die-cutting
C6 Very Vanilla Envelope
I have hardly used this gorgeous stamp set, I am so glad it is carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue. I wanted to try out the baby wipe technique and thought this set might work well with the technique.
I began by folding a single baby wipe into a square and placing it in an empty clear mount stamp case. I took the Daffodil Delight re-inker and dropped about 12 – 15 drops randomly onto the baby wipe. I repeated this with the Poppy Parade re-inker and finally with Gorgeous Grape re-inker. The dots of ink should spread and merge together with no un-inked areas
I inked the outline flower stamp on my hand made ink pad and randomly stamped the image onto the Very Vanilla panel. I loved the effect of the multicolour flowers. The stamped layer was then added to the Gorgeous Grape panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
I wrapped the strip of Vellum around the stamped panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the Poppy Parade card front.
I die cut the word ‘birthday’ 3 times from scrap Gorgeous Grape cardstock and adhered the words one on top of the other using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive, this gives great dimension to the word.
I swiped the Embossing Buddy over the vellum then stamped the word ‘wishes’ in Poppy Parade ink covered it with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The die cut ‘birthday’ was added on top with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used a Mini Glue Dot tucked under the ‘birthday’ to hold the vellum layer down.
I love, love this card, hoping you like it as well.
