Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was a little bit different to my usual style.
For this project, I used the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set with White Ink to create this pretty project.
I used both Crumb Cake and Copper Clay for the brown tones, plus Daffodil Delight for the daisy centres.
Using White Ink requires a slightly different thought process to the stamping. You need to ensure that you stamp the white first to avoid cross contamination with other colours. Also, as it is a pigment ink, the pad feels slightly ‘sticky’ to stamp with, but you quickly get used to that.
Once the daisies were stamped onto the background, plus one onto a separate piece, the centres were then added. They were given gentle taps of Wink of Stella in the centre for some sparkle.
A sentiment from the Softly Said Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range sits across the separate daisy.
Stamping onto Crumb Cake with pigment ink meant the images became brighter as they dried. They looked rather dull to begin with.
The sentiment is punched out using the Modern Oval Punch. Plus another oval from Copper Clay to create the layer.
This layer is made by cutting the shape in half and sticking each side to the edges.
A length of In Color Jute Trim is looped behind the sentiment, before the whole piece is raised up on Dimensionals.
Finally, some white sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio are dotted across the project.
The attendees thought this design would also look good on Basic Black cardstock. I may have to try it out. Watch this space!
All of the items used in this project will be carrying over to the new Catalogue in May. If you want to see the retiring items, then head to the Last Chance List.
