Hi all, it's Vicki here from All I Do Is Stamp. It's my last 2020 individual post for CAS-ual Fridays. [However, I did accept
Michele's offer to stay on another year!] That said, there will be a
fabulous New Release at month end! [You are going to love it! I know I
do]
As stated in my last post here, my Christmas cards were completed a couple of weeks ago. Now,
I am focusing on birthday cards. My goal [once again] is to get them
sent out on time for 2021. I have the birthdays listed by month on a
clipboard. The first of the month, I will complete the card, address it,
and have it ready to go. It really can not be that hard to walk to the
mailbox! [apparently for me it is! lol]
Meanwhile, for today's card I used Natasha Foote's video on
Adding Color to Black Cardstock. I liked the look, and it was fairly easy to accomplish too.
Using the
Modern Petals Stencil, I sponged on some white ink. I tried to apply the ink
with blending brushes AND ink sponges - neither worked. I went and
searched for [and found] the same make up foams that Natasha used, and they
worked perfectly! I was able to get a nice even coverage of the ink.
Once the white ink was dried, I moved the stencil just a bit, and sponged on
some Catherine Pooler Ink in green and blue. I like the shadow effect, and
the way it shows up on the black.
I went on to stamp the
Wish Big sentiment from
Bold Wishes, and then stamped, colored, and cut out the flowers from
Mon Ami stamp set, and matching
Mon Ami Fleur dies. A few sequins were added, and this card is ready for my stash. 😀
That's it for me today. Like I said earlier, the Team will be back on December 31st for the start of the new, fun release!
Meanwhile, remember, if you use my code, you can save 15% off your purchase [which also includes the
Clearance Section!]
Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful Holiday Season!
