Hello
there! Amy here showcasing the Color Me Happy Stamps and Sun Ray Dies. Hopefully you've seen how wonderful and
versatile the sun ray dies are from the previous post; today I'm going to show
you how I made my own stencils with them and used it on the cards.
For the first card, I trimmed acetate to 6X6 and used just the rays from the Sun Ray Dies. I ran it through the die cut machine many times in the shape of the sun's rays (see picture above).
Using
the stencil I made, I colored in the open areas with rainbow colored Distress
Inks using the finger dauber.
I
added the sentiment using Versafine Onyx
Black Ink Pad. Then,
I stamped and colored the adorable chick and paint brush from the A Good Egg stamp set and colored it with copics. I
added foam adhesive behind the images and adhered it to the front panel.
For
the second card, I made a stencil again- this time using the circles in
the Sun Ray Dies.
I
used the stencil to add rainbow colored Distress Inks (adding more colors than
my previous card) again using the finger daubers.
Once
I was done adding all the colors, I used the Color Word Die and ran the paper through the die cut
machine. I also die cut white card stock using the same die four more
times to add dimension to the card. To achieve this, I adhered them together
one on top of the other. Before gluing down the down the word
"color," I stamped the rest of the sentiment with a Versafine Onyx
Black Ink Pad. Lastly, I
added glossy accents to the die cut word "color" and the small
circles on the sides.
Here
are the two cards together. Thank
you for visiting with us today. I hope I have inspired you in someway.
Have a colorful Wednesday!
