Hi Stamping Friends!
Happy Valentine's Day! I hope your day is filled with lots of love!
If you have been thinking about getting the beautiful Happy Watercolor stamp set, now is the time! Register for my Happy Watercolor Class Kit and you'll get the stamp set, fun gold embellishments, plus all the supplies to make three cards with gorgeous gold accents right away! It's a great value!
Today, I'm featuring one of those cards. In case you missed details of the other two, check out those posts: Watercolor Wonder Bloom and Happy Watercolor Scallop Tag.
CASEd from Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty.
The combination of white and gold is so elegant and classy! This simple card design is a fantastic way to feature the Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape and Gold Sequin Trim from your Happy Watercolor Class Kit! You don't even use very much of either embellishment—just think of how many of these cards you could make!
Card Base—I embellished a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White, and then mounted that on a Whisper White card base when I was done decorating.
Washi Tape Accents—I adhered short, uneven strips of the Watercolor Washi Tape to the background first, alternating with the solid gold design.
Sequin Trim TIPS—The Sequin Trim can be a little tricky to handle. TIP #1: You can adhere it with a thin bead of the Multipurpose Glue, but you run the risk of getting glue smears on the shiny gold, making it not-so-shiny. TIP #2: Another alternative is to trim some Sticky Strip down to a thinner strip, or fold it in half, so the width of it will fit under the Sequin Trim. This gives an immediate secure hold, so I prefer it.
TIP #3: Also, you may also find that sequins may begin to unravel from the end if you handle it too much. That's another reason I like the Sticky Strip…it keeps those loose ends all stuck down. You can also add a Glue Dot under the ends to hold them in place.
Gold Twine Tie—I wrapped some Gold Baker's Twine around the entire element for another gold accent and additional texture.
Sentiment—The background is the true focal point, so the sentiment is kept simple. I stamped the floral image from Happy Watercolor in Gold Encore Ink on a piece of scrap Whisper White, then stamped the sentiment over the top in StazOn Black. It's die-cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits shape, then popped up with Dimensionals.
I love that shiny pattern behind the words!
The second version has the Washi Tape a little more centered and the Gold Twine wrapped around horizontally. I used the other Happy Watercolor sentiment—this card does make me HAPPY!
The whole tag is popped up with Dimensionals, of course!
