Hello Crafty Friends!
This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have
a sweet summer themed card to share with you showcasing the Radiant Plumeria and Tropical Birds sets.
I started by stamping
the plumeria flowers and leaves from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah
Solar White 110 lb cardstock. These awesome layering stamps are labelled for
ease of use. I highly recommend using a stamping tool for this type of stamp.
It makes lining up the layers and restamping a breeze.
For the plumeria,
there is a total of 7 layers to create the depth and gradient of colors. I used
all but two of the middle layers of the series in order to leave some white
space on my petals. I used Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed
Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks. Mowed Lawn
Distress Oxide ink was used for the leaves, For the plumeria leaves, I only
used the first two layers of stamp and used Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink for
both layers — stamping twice for the second layer to create a slightly darker
border to the leaves. I used the coordinating Radiant Plumeria Dies to diecut them out.
Next, I stamped the
images from the Tropical Birds Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar
White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the
coordinating Tropical Birds Dies to diecut them out. I colored with
Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Yellow Bird:
Y11/13/15/19. Y17/38 YR04, R20, R22
Pink Bird:
RV000/10/21/13/14, Y17/38 YR04, R20, R22
For the background,
I ink blended a simple background with Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina
Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added some dots
with a white gel pen for a bit of interest. I used the second largest die from
the Stitched Circle Large Dies to diecut a window into the
center of a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock, I adhered the
two panels together with foam tape.
For the sentiment, I
stamped the “Summer” and “Greetings” sentiments from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink onto ta piece of white
cardstock. I fussy cut out the “Summer” and used a paper trimmer to cut out the
“Greetings”.
The colored images
and the sentiments were adhered to the panel with a combination of liquid glue
and foam tape. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”). I
finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.
