Mudra Craft Stamps: Pastel Love

Saturday, 31 March 2018

Hi! March is almost over and I am here today with the final dose of inspiration for our Tic Tac Toe challenge.

The tic-tac-toe grid is conceptualized by Sathya Kala Sankaran. You can select any row, column or diagonal line as your inspiration.

Card 1:
I used the diagonal - Banners, Birthday & Sentiments.

Take a piece of watercolor paper.
Stamp the bouquet from the Flower Bunch stamp set and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Do this all around the edges of the paper.
Blend distress oxide inks very heavily all over the paper.
Take a wet paint brush and run it over the stamped design. Blot away with a tissue. This reactivates the distress oxide ink and gives a lovely bleached look.
Die cut the panel to fit an A2 size card base.
Mount the panel on the white card base with foam tape.
The sentiment is from the Balloons stamp set. Ink it with multiple colors and stamp on a scrap of white card stock.
Diecut the sentiment panel with a banner die and adhere it to the card.

Here is a closer look at the card.

Card 2:
I again used the diagonal - Banners, Birthday & Sentiments.

Take a piece of watercolor paper. Stamp and heat emboss the bouquet from the Flower Bunch stamp set with gold embossing powder.
Colour the bouquet with distress inks. Let it dry completely and then adhere to the kraft card base.
Die cut a kraft panel to fit over a A2 size card. Also die cut a heart on the right hand side of the panel.
Run the panel through a texture plate.
For added interest sponge some sticky ink around the edge of the heart and heat emboss with the gold embossing powder.
Mount the panel on foam take and place it over the card base such that the bouquet peeks through.
The sentiment is from the Carnations stamp set. It is heat embossed with some glitter gold embossing powder.

Here is a closer look at the card.

Card 3:
For my last card I used the middle row - Lace, Birthday, Sequins.

Take a small piece of watercolour paper and stamp the butterfly from the Butterfly Flutters stamp set with black ink.
Use distress inks in rainbow colours to paint the butterfly.
Die cut the paper with a circle die.
Take a black panel and cut it slightly smaller than the card base. Score four lines along the bottom. Also round two of the corners.
Add a piece of white lace between the score lines.
The sentiment is from the Labelled Sentiments stamp set.
To finish pop the butterfly panel on some foam tape and adhere to the card. Add some Clear Couture Sequins.
