You’ve Got This Stamp Set Shows It’s Beauty
You’ve Got This! One of my favorite sayings. What better way to encourage someone that is trying something new, starting a new job, etc. Words of encouragement go a long way, use them often in your vocabulary. Make it a challenge to yourself to use a word of encouragement, make a brighter day for someone you know.
Today we are enjoying a beautiful day on the lake! My boys are super excited for the plans we have for today and tomorrow! Fishing, tubing, four-wheeling, campfires and time with friends. We couldn’t ask for more perfect weather!
Card Details:
- Card Base is Crumb Cake cut to 4.25 in x 11 in and scored / folded at 5.5 in.
- Melon Mambo makes a debut as the 2nd layer to coordinate with the flower petals. 4.125 in x 5.375 in is the sizing and its adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Crumb Cake shines as the top layer. It is cut to 4 in x 5.25 in and adhered to the Melon Mambo with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
- I stamped the flower from the You’ve Got This Stamp Set in Versamark, added White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and melted it with the Heat Tool. White Embossing on Crumb Cake Cardstock is my absolute FAVORITE! I used Watercolor Pencils (Old Olive and Melon Mambo) to add the color and then I used a Blender Pen to smooth it out. It didn’t have enough dimension for me so I grabbed my trusty Aqua Painter and added a little bit of water and Melon Mambo to give it a tad more of a watercolor look. Tip: Because I used Crumb Cake as my palette, you need to limit the water to ensure the cardstock doesn’t pill.
- I grabbed a bit more Melon Mambo with my Aqua Painter, gave the brush a squeeze and then shook my Aqua Painter over the top of my creation give it the splatter effect.
- I stamped the “You’ve Got This” sentiment in Versamark and then embossed in White. I fussy cut around the letters as closely as possible. I adhered it to the bottom corner of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- I added a few sequins from the Metallic Sequins Assortment to finish off the card.
Do you like the Crumb Cake and Watercolor Look? Here is another version from a few days ago! (click on the card image to see details)
The colors on the card above are Berry Burst and Wild Wasabi. A little deeper toned than the Bright Melon Mambo, but just as pretty!
I hope you enjoyed this card and have gained some inspiration for your next creation…and maybe you will even take on the challenge to give daily words of encouragement? I love to hear your comments! I read and respond to all of them. Please speak your thoughts, it makes my day to hear them 🙂
