Hummingbird
Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once
again, with a new post where I am going be showcasing my latest card created
using I Brake for Stamps and Blank Page Muse products!
Hummingbirds, known for their vibrant colors and remarkable agility, symbolize joy, healing, and resilience in many cultures. Their ability to hover and move in unique ways, combined with their role as essential pollinators, makes them a captivating subject. The combination of a hummingbird and a flower creates a visually stunning and meaningful image, perfect for occasions that celebrate love, gratitude, or encouragement.
To create this project, you will need
the following:
·
Blank
Page Muse You Make Me Happy Hummingbird Clouds Flower set
·
Black ink pad
·
Watermark ink
·
Cardstock - white
·
Cardstock – black
·
Distress Oxides or
similar
·
Vellum
·
Scissors
·
Alcohol Markers
·
Blending brushes
·
Liquid glue
·
Paper trimmer
·
Anti-static powder
·
Stamping platform
·
Black embossing powder
·
Heat Tool
·
A2 card base – purple
(4.25” x 5.5”)
To craft your card, start by creating
the background panel. Using your choice
of stamping platform begin with the flower stamp from the You Make Me Happy set
and position it on the left side of the white cardstock. Once satisfied with the position and the
stamp is secured to the platform, ink the stamp with black ink and stamp the
image. Repeat this step if required to ensure coverage.
The next stage is assembly and finishing. Once the Hummingbird has been cut out you will need to adhere it into place on your background panel. To do this use liquid glue. KEY TIP: To prevent bubbling, DO NOT apply your liquid glue directly to the vellum. Instead put some liquid glue on to a washable surface and use some sort of applicator to apply in a pouncing method until the image is completely covered.
Once the focal image is adhered, use the included sentiment stamp, some black ink, and your preferred stamping platform to stamp the sentiment into place. Lastly, trim your background panel and black mat down to their final dimensions, adhere them together and then adhere the composite to the card base to complete the card.
