Enduring Beauty Card

On a recent live I shared a way to create a background for an image using "smooshing".  I always have fun with this technique - mostly because it's always a surprise how the background will turn out.  This one was definitely a surprise.  I was all prepared to use Bubble Bath for my card base!

Definitely not Bubble Bath!  Closer to Pecan Pie and Wild Wheat!  I love it now, but it's taken a few days to grow on me!


Instruction

  1. Cut Basic Black cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Fold on scoreline and burnish with Bone Folder to form card base.
  2. Cut Wild Wheat cardstock 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
  3. Drop Re-inkers on to Waxed Paper or Parchment Paper - I used Moody Mauve and Bubble Bath on this card.
  4. Spritz with water and then fold Waxed Paper over to "smoosh"
  5. Layer piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper on ink
  6. Let dry complete
  7. Cut out using 2nd largest Perennial Postage Die
  8. Stamp image on paper using Versamark
  9. Sprinkle with Black Embossing Powder
  10. Heat to melt and let dry
  11. Adhere to Wild Wheat cardstock
  12. Adhere to card base
  13. Separate Wild Wheat Jute into 3 strands.  Wrap 1 strand around hand and adhere to left corner of card base
  14. Stamp sentiment on Very Vanilla cardstock using Versamark
  15. Sprinkle with Black Embossing Powder
  16. Heat to melt and let dry
  17. Cut out using Paper Snips
  18. Adhere over Jute using Dimensionals
  19. Adhere Iridescent Foil Gems
  20. Cut Very Vanilla cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  21. Cut Background paper 3/4" x 4"
  22. Adhere to bottom of Very Vanilla cardstock
  23. Adhere to inside of card.
