The Shaded Summer stamp set and the spotlight technique used to make a pretty anniversary card

Shaded Summer Anniversary card

Today I am sharing a summer anniversary card made for my brother and sister-in-law using the Shaded Summer Stamp set from the Annual Catalogue.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Shaded Summer anniversary card, you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Early Espresso & Pool Party

I randomly stamped the floral image from the Shaded Summer in Crumb Cake ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White.

Using the Tailor Made Tag dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut a label from the centre of the stamped panel. I glued the negative stamped piece to the Pool Party panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Petal Pink card front with the same liquid glue.

I used Petal Pink, Pool Party, So Saffron and Smoky Slate Blends Alcohol Markers to colour in the flowers and leaves on the die cut tag. A hole re-enforcer was added to the top of the tag and a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon fed through the hole and trimmed with scissors.

I ran a strip of Seal + adhesive down the centre of the negative space and added a strip of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon, weaving it back and forth. The coloured label was then added on Dimensionals over top and slightly off set so that we see a peek of Pool Party card.

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto a scrap piece of Early Espresso using the Stamparatus. I covered it in White Embossing powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. It was then die cut using the Messages Die.

The sentiment was added on Mini Black Dimensionals, straddling the base of the tag. I covered the coloured flowers with Clear Wink of Stella and added a trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins to finish the card.
