Create A Smile | Comeback Celebration
Hi
everyone! I’m thrilled to join the Create A Smile comeback celebration! Join the week-long party with
GIVEAWAYS, inspirations, freebies and fun new stamps! For those of you who have
not heard yet, all info can be found HERE!
For this
event, I created two cards using stamps from the newest release (available Friday, August 18th)! For both
cards, I went for a clean and simple design to make the images pop. Here is
what I came up with:
For the first project, I used the Licht ins Dunkel / Light up the dark
and the Licht an! / Lights on! sets.
I started by coloring the mole and the lantern (of course, in rainbow colors… I
couldn’t resist) and cut out the image with scissors. I added a layer of Wink
of Stella clear glitter to the lantern for more shimmer but unfortunately, you
can’t see it on the picture. It’s beautiful! Next, I created a teal background
using the ink smooshing technique. I chose Peacock Feather and Cracked Pistachio
Distress inks that I applied directly from the pads to a sheet of acetate,
sprayed the sheet with water and pressed the ink (side down) onto cardstock.
Once it was dry, I stamped the sentiment to the "smooshed" background and I
adhered the mole with foam pads for more dimension. To finish off my card, I
added some Create A Smile enamel dots (I LOVE
them because they are not too big).
For the second card, I also used the Licht an! / Lights on! as well as the Licht ins Dunkel / Light up the dark
stamp sets. I colored the lantern and cut the image with scissors. I added
googly eyes and drew a mouth to create a character. I stamped the sentiment in
black ink and cut a speech bubble around. Next, I spritzed the background in
black to make the yellowish-orange lantern stand out from the "dark". It
matches perfectly with the sentiment. I adhered the lantern and the sentiment
to the card front with foam pads and added twine for more interest. I decorated
the card with some Create A Smile enamel dots.
I hope you enjoyed these projects! Thanks to
Christine for letting me join the party and welcome back!
