Hi,
friends! It's design team member Walter here on the blog with you.
This week I'm sharing my third card for June that I made using the same
four stamps for the month: Texture Wet Cement Stamp, Etched Stone Flower Rubber Art Stamp, Fern Art Rubber Stamp, and Sentiment Words Stamp Create Something.
For this third card, I wanted to use these stamps to create a very clean, simple, and elegant design. When I think of elegant designs, my mind often does to one that includes gold and black. That was the inspiration for this design. I think that I met the challenge!
I used the following in addition to the four stamps mentioned above:
- Cream A2 card base
- 4" x 5.25" Black card panel
- Gold Pigment Ink
- Nuvo Gold Metallic marker
- Clear acrylic bubbles
- Scrap of white cardstock for the sentiment
Here's how I made it:
This is a very simple card to create. That said, I think the the elegant simplicity of it makes up for lots of bells and whistles. I placed my black card panel onto my stamping platform and stamped the Stone Flower onto it with Gold pigment ink. I stamped each flower three times in three different spots to get the gold ink dark enough to be seen on the black cardstock.
Once done with the flowers, I used the Fern Stamp and stamped onto the card panel with Gold pigment ink. Once again, I stamped it three times in three different spots. Once done, I used a heat tool to make sure that the pigment ink was completely dry. I ran the Nuvo Gold marker around the edges of the black card panel, then ran it around the outside edges of the card base, and then adhered the panel to the base using double sided tape.
I stamped the Texture Wet Cement background onto the white piece of scrap cardstock and let it dry. Once dry, I stamped the sentiment stamp with Black pigment ink. Detail scissors were used to trim the sentiment to size. I ran the Nuvo gold marker around the edges of it, put double sided foam tape onto the back of it, and adhered it to the card.
For embellishments, I took three clear acrylic bubbles, colored the bottom with the Gold Nuvo marker to add a splash of gold to it, and then glued them down onto the the card. The card is done!
As I said, it's a very simple card to make. I find the design to be very pretty though and it's a good example of how you can use four very different stamps to create an elegant design.
