Hello crafty friends, Marine here, back with a super duper extra colorful birthday card showcasing Two Scoops. I've had this stamp set in my stash for a very long time, and I knew that when I'd use it, it would be on a rainbow themed card. So here we are!
I started off with all the stamping, and the Two Scoops layering stamps are super easy to line up, so even if it looks like the stamping took a million years, it actually did not, it actually was pretty quick. Here is a detailed list of the Lawn Fawn premium dye inks I used to stamp everything, from light to dark:
• pink - ballet slippers + peachy keen + guava
• orange - peach
fuzz + carrot + fake tan
• yellow -
butter + lemonade + sunflower
• green - celery
stick + freshly cut grass + jalapeno
• aqua - kiddie
pool + merman + peacock
• purple - fresh
lavender + grape jelly + sugarplum
• cones - pizza
crust + doe
Once the stamping was done, I cut the images using the matching dies, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and used a slim brush to add white splatters to each image. I also picked matching distress inks, mixed each of them with water, added more splatters to the ice-creams, and then I did the same with matching distress spritz for sparkling details.
Next I cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, and used distress inks to create watercolored splashes, giving the illusion of melting ice-cream. I mixed each ink with water, and from left to right, I applied the colors with a fluffy brush: worn lipstick, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet. I let the paper dry, and then added more ink to get different shades on each splash of colors.
I added water splatters all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, I mixed the same distress inks with water and used a slim brush to add matching splatters, next I did the same with copic opaque white ink, and then with matching distress spritz for shine and sparkles.
Once my watercolored panel was dry, I attached it to a slightly larger slimline aqua panel using liquid glue, and then worked on the rainbow scalloped panel. I started by cutting multiple strips out of colored cardstock using a strip die from the Ribbon & Lace Borders die set. I attached each strip of paper to a large piece of cardstock in this order: pink, orange, yellow, green, aqua and purple, and then used the scalloped die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set to cut my rainbow strips panel. I attached this panel to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and then stuck my watercolored panel on top using foam tape again.
For my greeting, I cut two fishtail banners using a die from the Notebook Photo Corners die set: a pink one and a gold glitter one, and I white heat embossed "Hope you have a sweet birthday" from Summer Sweet on the pink one. I stuck the pink banner on top of the gold glitter one, shifted them for a little bit of more fun, using 1mm foam squares, and finally attached my banner at the bottom right hand corner of my card using foam squares again.
And that's it! I very much love how it all turned out, with all those beautiful layering stamps matching with the splashes of colors in the background. I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.
