- Special Day CLEAR Sentiments Birthday Stamp Set stamp from Blank Page Muse
- White cardstock panel - 4.25" x 5.5"
- White A2 Card base
- Scissors
- Liquid glue
- Paper Trimmer
- Sentiment of choice
- Die-cut machine
- Boarder die of choice
- Label die of choice
- Watermark ink
- Heat Tool
- White embossing powder
- Anti-static powder
- Black ink
- Twine
- Dimensional tape
- Splat box
- Mica Spray (I chose Violet Luster and Oriental Fuchsia)
- Microfiber towel
Process:
- Place the white cardstock on the stamping tool.
- Apply watermark ink to the butterfly stamp.
- Press the stamp firmly onto the cardstock to create the image. Repeat if necessary for complete coverage.
- Remove the cardstock from the stamping tool and sprinkle white embossing powder over the stamped image.
- Tap off excess powder and heat set with a heat tool until the image is raised and glossy.
- Place the cardstock into a splat box and spray the cardstock with mica spray in your chosen color(s); the embossed butterflies will resist the ink.
- Allow to dry, then wipe off excess ink with a microfiber towel.
- Use a boarder die of your choosing to trim down the panel to size.
- Wrap with twine using an odd number of wraps for visual interest, adhering the ends to the back of the panel.
- Use liquid glue to adhere the panel to the A2 card base.
- Use sentiment of choice and black ink to stamp onto white cardstock. Repeat for clarity.
- Use label die to cut the sentiment to required size and then using dimension tape, adhere it to the card panel, make sure the dimensional tape is on either side of the label die to stiffen the lable up and prevent if from bending.
