Hello friends! It's Sandy from @SandyCogdillDesigns. I hope everyone had a nice Holiday Season. I am re-charged and ready for some new projects. How about you!
Today, I have a card that was created with some new products from Lawn Fawn. I am using I HEART PANDAS ADD ON CLEAR STAMPS, I HEART PANDAS ADD ON LAWN CUTS and BAMBOO BACKDROP:PORTRAIT.
I wanted to do a nighttime background, that was coordinate well with the bamboo layer that I was going to put on top. One of my favorite things to do for backgrounds is do ink blending. I used PUMICE STONE DISTRESS OXIDE INK, HICKORY SMOKE DISTRESS OXIDE INK and BLACK SOOT DISTRESS OXIDE INK. I watered down a little SPELLBINDERS SPLATTER WHITE OPAQUE WATERCOLOR and splattered it on the ink blended area.
To give the BAMBOO BACKDROP a little extra color and interest, I spritzed TWISTED CITRON DISTRESS SPRITZ and MOWED LAWN DISTRESS SPRITZ a lime colored cardstock. It is really hard to see in the photo, but it has a really nice shimmer. These spritzes are one of my favorite new things to play with. I used the larges of the LAWN FAWNS LARGE STITCHED RECTANGLES to cut out my background for the bamboo layer.
Once I had my bamboo backdrop cut out and adhered to my ink blended layer, I used LAWN FAWN - LAWN CUTS - HENRY'S ABC'S to cut out my lettering. I used two different colors of cardstock to give the letters dimension. With the letters layered, I adhered them to the backdrop.
I colored my stamped images using COPIC markers in the following colors:
Once I have those colored and cut out, I will place them at the bottom of my card.
I used the sentiment that comes in the stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment using the VERSAMARK WATER MARK STAMP PAD and LAWN FAWN BLACK EMBOSSING POWDER on a very light gray cardstock. For the little speech bubble above the panda's head I used LAWN FAWN - CLEAR STAMP - ALL THE SPEECH BUBBLES and LAWN FAWN - LAWN CUTS - ALL THE SPEECH BUBBLES.
I had some little stars that I had previously cut out of silver glitter paper using LAWN FAWN - LAWN CUTS - HEARTS & STARS SKINNY TAG.
This stamp set makes the cutest belated birthday card.
Thank you for stopping by the blog today and I hope that you have a great day!!!
