I have recently purchased a couple of new stamp sets from Whimsy Stamps and it was perfect timing to enter a card in the current Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #159 – M is for Magic.
products used
- Whimsy Stamps – Create Magic and Cast a Spell
- My Favorite Things – Blueprints 29 dies
- Altenew – Tiny Stars
- Tonic Studios – Verso Framed Screens die
- Distress Oxide Inks – Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet
- Copics – see colours below
- Ranger Fine Detail embossing powder – White
Background
- Using Distress Oxides – ink blended three colours randomly over background. Repeat until desired colour depth achieved.
- Making sure ink is dry (blast it with your heat gun to speed drying up), stamp Tiny Stars randomly over background using Versamark Ink, turning stamp around to achieve a more random layout of stars. Sprinkle embossing powder over, tap off excess and set with your heat gun.
- Die Cut background using the Verso Frame (also diecut the cardbase using the larger die to have a slightly shaped card).
Images
- Stamp images on your preferred copic friendly cardstock and fussy cut up to stamped edges. Colours used as follows:
| image | colours |
|---|---|
| Scroll | W0, W1, W3, W5 |
| Spider and Shoes | V12, V14, V17 |
| Cider jar, trim on wizard and tab | G12, G14, G16, G17 |
| Wizard clothes | B000, B00, B02, B05 B18 |
| Skin | E0000, E00, E02, BV01 |
| Facial Hair | C0, C1, C3, C5 |
Extra items
shelf and tab
- Blend copic ink over cardstock (using same blues and greens as in other images)
- Die cut shapes
Wizard’s stars
- I initially coloured the stars but as I fussy cut the wizard out I realised that the stars were going to be too fiddly to fussy cut so I cut them off.
- I still wanted the stars to feature so I stamped them onto a piece of acetate using Versamark Ink. Note: Make sure you use plenty of antistatic powder on the acetate to stop excess powder sticking to acetate – it’s tricky to remove otherwise.
- Sprinkle on Fine Detail embossing powder and tap off excess. Heat set CAREFULLY with heat gun so you don’t melt the acetate.
Sentiment
- Stamp Sentiments onto Scroll and Tab with Versamark Ink and sprinkle over embossing powder and tap off excess.
- Zing Embossing Powder – Purple
- Ranger Fine Detail embossing powder – White
- Set with heat gun.
Finishing
- Using ATG adhere background to card base.
- Adhere all images using a mix of glue and dimensional adhesive foam tape.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
