Supplies
- white glossy paper
- colored cardstock for card
- Ranger's Sea Brights ink pads in Pool, Beach Ball Yellow
and Bikini Pink
- Car cleaning sponge cut into pices
- Document black ink
- wonder tape
- assorted fibers
- copy paper
Directions:
Stamp main image (dancer) in black ink in middle of glossy
paper. Allow a few minutes for it to try throughly.
|
Place copy paper along one of the edges of the
image, so that the paper hides the image. Dip one sponge piece
into bikini pink ink, stamp off exess ink so that there is little
color left on sponge, and then sponge color along the length
of the glossy paper adjacent to the copy paper. Press the sponge
out to the side and down, until a fuzzy line (about 1/4")
of ink is running down the length of the paper.
Repeat the above step with pool, and run the color over the pink
and beyond, so that some of the layers blend.
Repeat step two with another layer of the pink. Each time you
add more color, the color extends further out to the edges of
the paper. When satisfied with the color combination, lift the
copy paper, and chose another angle to grid in the same manner.
At times bring in the yellow, or alternate the order of the colors.
When grids have been placed all over the paper, use the black
ink to add more images and words.
Fill in white spaces with a combination of the three colors,
blending with the sponges.
Fold the cardstock in half, apply wondertape to the back of the
glossy piece and affix to the card.
Wrap fibers around indside and outer fold of card--tie a knot
at the bottom to secure. |

Cut cardstock for
size of entire card to be used.
Cut a piece of vellum the size of card.
Stamp background design from Angi b& Co.in a row onto vellum.
I used yellow but you can use any color.
On a separate sheet of paper or peel and stick, stamp two different
spirit women by Angi b.& Co. Set aside.
On top of the vellum, use any four of Angi B. &CO. word stamps.
I used spirit, joy, listen and dance on my card. Stamp each in
a different color randomly all over.
Put spirit dancers that you had cut out in step no.4 on top of
vellum randomly. |
"Spirit Dancers"
Stamp Artist Ms. Syd Dyck |
Lay vellum on top of cardstock,
hold down if need with clothes pins or paper clips, and punch
6 holes across top of cardstock and vellum while holding them
together. The idea being that you want all 6 holes in the
same places so you can then take a piece of ribbon and run it
through all 6 holes. Cut the ends of the ribbon at an angle when
you are through running it through the holes.
All images are angi-b & company |
"Leaf Mosaic"
Stamp Artist Carolyn Summers |
Mask off a white card, approximately 2-1/2 by 3-1/2, as shown
in the center section. Swipe the card with Posh Metallic Inkabilities
using their rainbow sponge technique by applying the two colors
side by side. (Metallic green and Broadway Brights Christmas
green) Swipe both directions for a plaid effect. When dry, remove
the masking tape and set aside. (I used narrow correction tape
found at most office supply stores.)
Using the same sponge, swipe a glossy white scrap of cardstock
to be used as the background for the two of the leaf images.
Set aside to dry. |
Spritz the same sponge with water
(used in steps one and two) to lighten the color and then swipe
the back side of glossy cardstock at a diagonal angle (the largest
card — approximately a 3-1/4 by 4-1/4 ). Using the glossy
side of a white card, spray the sponge again and swipe the card
at a diagonal angle as shown (middle card — approximately
3-3/4 by 4-3/4). (Note how the metallic inks appear differently
on the two cards.)
Using black Brilliance ink, stamp the small leaf on the darkest
section of the prepared scrap of cardstock and emboss with black
embossing powder. Selecting a lighter section of the prepared
scrap, stamp one large leaf with clear Versamark ink and emboss
with green embossing powder. Use white glossy cardstock and Encore
teal metallic ink and stamp the second large leaf and emboss
with clear embossing powder.
Cut out all three leaves and mount them on top of the plaid card
as shown. Glue the plaid mosaic to the smaller glossy card mounted
on top of a slightly larger turquoise card and then to the darker
diagonal prepared card on top of a larger turquoise card.
Glue the final art to a folded white card, punch a hole in the
center fold approximately 1/4 inch down from the top and tie
on fiber adornment.
