Happy Monday!
For May's Group Post it's all about Bold & Colourful Projects. For this month's group post, I'm sharing this There Are no Strangers Card. To create my card, I've used dies from Joset Designs and stamps from the New Beautiful Blooms Collection. Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you so that you can re-create my There are no Strangers Card at home. You'll also want to make sure to stop by the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to check out the rest of the projects.
To start, die cut a 4" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Indented Rectangle out of a piece of blue patterned paper. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Spritz Blue Lagoon Dylusions Ink Spray on the rectangle as desired. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Once the rectangle has dried, ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut a 1" Fitted Fishtail out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the Friendship stamp, you'll need the There are no strangers quote. Apply Detail Black Ink to the stamp and stamp on the fishtail side of the fishtail. Trim the fishtail down to 3". Distress the edges of the fishtail. Ink the edges of the fishtail using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From the same Friendship stamp set, you'll need the large hydrangea branch and one of the single hydrangea branch. Apply Detail Black Ink to each stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Colour the flowers using a waterbrush and Watercolor Palette. Once the flowers have dried, fussy cut them out. Ink the edges of the flowers using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Foam square the 3 3/4" rectangle to the 4" rectangle. Adhere the 3 1/2" rectangle to the 3 3/4" rectangle.
Foam square the hydrangea bunch to the left hand side of the 3 1/2" rectangle. Adhere the single hydrangea in amongst the hydrangea bunch as desired.
Adhere the fishtail to the right of the hydrangeas as desired.
To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 5 1/4" x 8", score at 8". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
Here are a few closeups of the finished card.
Here is the finished There are no Strangers Card.
