Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Gears & Textures

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project I designed an abstract card.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children class, one of the young attendees said they liked rainbows, so I decided to create a very colourful project.

You will notice that this project is the design for my adult session, not the one I run for children. Pop back later in the week for that one!

This card uses 6 colours, plus Basic White. Four colours for the background, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Highland Heather. Then we have Lemon Lolly and Basic Gray for the sentiment.

All of the stamping, apart from ‘Happy Birthday to you’ are from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set.

Each of the images are stamped onto the background in four colours before a slight flare of colour is added using Lemon Lolly and a Blending Brush.

Next, the round image is stamped and cut out, along with a layer using the Circle Punches. The sentiment from the Exciting Times Stamp Set is then added.

Picking three of the colours, strands of Baker’s Twines from the Essentials Pack are then coloured using Stamping Blends.

These are stuck across the centre of the project.

The layered sentiment sits over the top using Dimensionals.

Finally, three coordinating gems from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots are added.
