Hello crafty friend! We are so happy that you’re here.
Today’s card features a cute set of fruit stamps by Momenta. The background was inspired by a card we saw on IG by @queenandcompany Designer Kim Watson. We love the pops of yellow and turquoise against the white stitched card base.
Focal Point:
- The fruit images were stamped with black hybrid ink onto 80 lb. smooth white cardstock
- All images were colored with alcohol markers
- Shading was added with colored pencils
- The colored images were fussy-cut
Background Panel:
- A white 4 ¼’ x 5 ½’ card panel was splattered with yellow acrylic paint that was thinned with plain water
- Once it was dry, the splattered panel was cut out using a stitched rectangle die.
- A scrap piece of turquoise cardstock was dry embossed with an embossing folder and our die cut machine
- The embossed cardstock was then cut with a stitched circle die
- The same circle die was used to cut 3 more stitched circles from scrap white cardstock
- The white circles were stacked and adhered together using liquid glue
- The turquoise circle die cut was adhered on top of the stacked white circles using liquid glue
Card Assembly:
- The sentiment was stamped directly onto the splattered card panel using black pigment ink
- Clear embossing powder was sprinkled onto the stamped sentiment and was heat-set
- A thin yellow mat was added, and the entire card panel was adhered to a white top-folding card base
- The turquoise stacked circle die cut was adhered to the middle of the splattered card panel
- The fruit images were arranged and adhered to the front of the card panel, overlapping the turquoise circle. The front-most fruit images were popped up with foam tape for dimension
Finishing Touches:
- A layer of Glossy Accents was added to some of the fruit for shine and dimension
- A bow made from red baker’s twine was adhered toward the bottom of the turquoise circle die cut
As always, we are grateful for your visit today. Have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day!!
