Birthday Card

4/15/2019

Good afternoon!  I have a birthday card up for today.  I love doing a watercolor type technique with my distress inks and I thought this made a wonderful background to a card.  I used Unity Stamp Company stamps for this project. 

I used regular card stock but I would recommend using watercolor paper so the paper doesn't curl or wrinkle.  I cut out a rectangular piece of paper using my metal die and my cuttlebug.  I then put a small piece of washi tape on the back of the paper to adhere it to the Misti so I could get full coverage when I stamped instead of using the magnets.  I then placed the rubber cling stamp called Botanical Background from Unity Stamp Company face down on the paper to make sure I had good coverage.  I closed the Misti to grab the stamp for placement.

Next I picked out some pinks and soft floral colors from my distress inks.  I used shaded lilac, mowed lawn, picked raspberry, and scattered straw.  I applied these colors keeping with what the flowers colors may be and the green with the leaves.  I made sure I covered all the areas on the stamp.

Now comes the fun part!  I sprayed the stamp with water from a misting bottle.  Use less water to retain more detail or more water to get a really watery effect if you don't want much detail.  Sometimes you can stamp this a second time on a new piece of paper to get one more background that is more muted.  You can kind of see some of the colored areas and I did use quite a bit of water.  More than I usually would but it turned out great!

Once you have stamped the image, wipe it off with a damp cloth.  You can even run it under some room temperature water and dab it dry with a paper towel.  You can using an embossing gun to dry the image or just let it sit for a while to air dry and then flatten it a little if it's wrinkled.

The sentiment was stamped on a piece of card stock using Gina K Amalgam Ink.  I used a Unity Sentiment Kit called I Consider You Special where there were two different stamps used.  There was the circle stamp and then the sentiment stamp.  I then cut a circle around the sentiment.  I purposely cut the circle with a bumpy edge to mimic the doily look.

Lastly I assembled the card.  I placed the background onto a black piece of card stock using Beacon 3 in 1 glue and then cut some pink baker's twine to wrap around and tie a cute bow.  I then used pop-dots to attach the sentiment so it overlaps the baker's twine.  I then used more pop-dots to attach the panel to the card base.

I hope you enjoyed!  Have a great day!
