A wonderful fall color challenge is on tap for our new Retro Rubber Blog Challenge.
I was inspired by a fellow AIR over at Imagine to create
this version of a clean and simple birthday card. It came together in about 15 minutes!
Step One:
Determine size of front panel and use a deckle edge ruler to
tear water color paper to size. Spritz
with Ink Potion No. 9. Ink Yvonne
Albrition Designs Marble from about 1999 with Kaleidacolor Tomato Vine and
stamp. Ink will bleed around main stamp
image. Dab off excess with paper towel.
Step Two:
Mask unwanted portion of sentiment stamp from the Hero Arts
Many Birthday Messages with tape and ink with StazOn Saddle Brown. Remove tape and stamp sentiment in the
lightest color section of the stamped image.
Step Three:
Use a deckle edged ruler to tear hand-made paper to size to
fit the front of an A7 Kraft card and adhere.
Tie decorative fiber around card and mount to front of card.
