Lindy's Cards

 Hello, fellow stampers!

On YouTube, I have posted the second video in the beginner's stamping series. This video is comparing a few inks and how they work with alcohol markers and watercolor. Click on the image below to view the video!

 After the ink tutorial, I used Magnolia Blooms to create a simple but stunning birthday card. This stamp set from Stampin' Up!® is another beautiful and versatile stamp set. 

Here's the Card:

Here's What I Used:

• Whisper White card stock (for the base and image piece)
• Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set
• Calypso Coral card stock 
• Tombo glue
• Stampin' Blends Calypso Coral
• Memento Ink
• Rhinestones
• Paper trimmer/scorer

Here's What I Did:

• Cut my cardstock down to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4"

• Cut my mat/image cardstock  down to 5 1/4 x 4"

• Using the Magnolia Blooms stamp set by Stampin' Up! and Memento ink stamp the floral image. 

• Let the ink dry for a moment before putting down a color wash of the Calypso Coral alcohol marker. 

• Using the sentiment "Happy Birthday" from the same stamp set and the Memento ink stamp the sentiment in the bottom left-hand corner.

• Glue the image piece onto the Calypso Coral mat and using dimensionals adhere that piece onto the card base.

• Using the alcohol marker color the rhinestones. 

• Once you have colored the rhinestones place them around the image.

• The inside of the card needs to be stamped on the bottom right with Memento ink and after letting it dry a moment give it a color wash as well. 

• Do the same with the envelope.
