You’ll never guess what I used as a technique on my stamped image. I started by stamping the large flower image with Mango Melody Ink and I let it dry for a few mintues. I then colored the small cluster of flowers in the center with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen. You can see that it lightened the ink color slightly and then dried rock-hard. You have to have patience and let it dry so you can handle to cardstock layer.
I also added a frame around the image using Gold Foil Sheets and the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I love the richness of this card design. Here are the steps:
- Card Base: Thick Basic White Cardstock 11″ x 4-1/4″. Score and fold at 5-1/2″. Stamp the large flower image using Mango Melody Ink. Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to add liquid to the small cluster of flowers in the center. Allow to dry completely (about 30 minutes).
- Frame: Use the Rectangle Stitched Dies to create a frame. I used die #2 and #3 and nestled them together using Gold Foil Sheets. Add Foam Adhesive Strips on the back of all four sides. Peel and stick on the card base centered.
- Scallops: Cut scallops using a piece of Gold Foil Sheets that measures 3-1/2″ x 1″. Glue to the inside of the frame at the bottom.
- Sentiment: stamp the sentiment on a piece of Mango Melody Cardstock that measures 3-1/2″ x 3/4. Glue over the Gold Foil layer inside the frame.
- Butterflies: Add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to the background.
