Tutorial: Southern Serenade Birthday Card

 

Today's card is one we made recently in my February stamping classes.  It is a card that features the Southern Serenade Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up!  Occasions Catalog and a faux layering technique.  This is a birthday card but by changing the sentiment it would be perfect for just about any occasion.

Visit my Stampin' Up! Online Store to order any of the items used to make this card.

 

 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Score a piece of 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” Thick Whisper White card stock at 4-1/4” and set aside.
2. Using the Layering Circle Thinlits, make a card stock template with a circle cut out. Place this over a piece of 5” x 3-3/4” Whisper White card stock and gently sponge Sahara Sand ink inside circle. 
3. Ink up the lace image from the Southern Serenade stamp set in Sahara Sand ink and stamp inside circle.  Remove template.
4. Stamp the Happy Birthday from the Southern Serenade stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink at the bottom of the card stock. Stamp the flower image so that part of it is across the circle.
5. Using a Blender Pen, push some ink into the lids of Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz inks. Color the flower image.
6. Adhere stamped card stock onto a 5-1/4” x 4” piece of Basic Black card stock. Adhere to the front of the card.  Add a few tiny Basic Pearl Jewels.

Brusho Climbing Orchid Card

Have you purchased the new Brusho Crystal Colour Powders yet from Stampin' Up?  I'm so in love with them.  Here is another card I made recently using the Prussian Blue powder.  It was so simple to make.  I stamped the flowers from the Climbing Orchid Stamp Set with VersaMark on Watercolor Paper.  I then sprinkled White Embossing Powder over the stamped image and then heat embossed the image.   Then I took my Aqua Painter filled with water and picked up some of the powder I had sprinkled in a lid, brushing the color over my paper.  After it dried I finished my card!
