Here's the 3rd card:
For this third card, I again broke out the Gelatos. This
time I colored right onto the watercolor paper. I then used my foam brush and
finger to wet and blend. I went over it multiple times to get to where I was
somewhat satisfied. I then stamped the bird onto white cardstock and used a nib
to color it with Distress Inks stamped onto my craft mat and sprayed with
water. I used my Wink of Stella Clear and Pink Glitter pens on the flowers, leaves, and parts of the bird and dotted the
bird’s eye with Inkssentials White Enamel Accents. I fussy cut the image and
mounted it with foam tape.
My granddaughter (who is 5) wanted to put a cloud in the sky
and she wanted to put it right in the middle of the top. To do that and still
have room for a sentiment, I stamped the sentiment onto the cloud. It was too
white so I took my Wild Honey sponge dauber and inked the edges to tone it
down. Wink of Stella gave it a bit of sparkle. It too is popped up with foam
tape. I added pearls to the corners because I thought the top was too bare.
Now for the inside. Do not make the colossal mistake that I
did. I don’t think I’ve ever done this before. I stamped the sentiment UPSIDE
DOWN!! OHHH NOOO!!! I had this card
almost finishedL.
What to do? I was running out of time and didn’t want to redo it. Instead, I
cheated. I cut out another piece of 4 ¼ x 5 ½ cardstock, redid the background
and mounted it over the mistake. It doesn’t look as good, but it isn’t bad. If
I wouldn’t have told you, you would never have known. I used just one Gelato to
do the inside color block. The sentiment is another one from ODBD. I colored
the flowers with my Worn Lipstick Distress Marker. I then took a wet foam brush
and wet them. I did them one at a time. I put it onto my tea towel (the same
kind Tim Holtz uses) and blotted it to take some of the ink off. Then I flicked
Picked Raspberry and dried them with the heat tool and attached them to the
card with Glossy Accents. I put a bubblegum sprinkle in the center of each one.
