Today’s card features three rubber stamps that are on the 40% OFF December Inventory Reduction Sale and it was designed with the “Glitter, Sparkle & Shine” creativity challenge in mind. It’s a wild card!
Supplies used:
- Red Card base
- Yellow card stock
- Black glitter card stock
- White piece of card stock to stamp Picnic princess
- Scissors, adhesive, large acrylic block or stamping platform
- Black and red ink pads
- Black & red enamel embellishments or gems.
- Nuvo aqua shimmer pen and markers
- Ranger glossy accents & Red glitter
- Gold ribbon sticker pieces (used on the end of the rugs) or check your stash for shiny gold ribbon you could use for the rug fringe.
- Foam
- 3 Stamp sets: Leopard, Set of 6 , Picnic Princess, French Sentiments, Set of 4
Here’s how I made it:
First I stamped Picnic Princess on white card stock, colored her with markers and cut her out. Then I added red glitter to her shoes, used my Nuvo aqua shimmer pen to her sunglasses, and glossy accents to her pants. (Set aside to dry). Isn’t she wild!
Next, I stamped the leopard print on the yellow card stock. I used a very large acrylic block for this stamp and reinked several times stamping around the bottom and across the card. I also stamped the Picnic Princess on the yellow card stock and colored it in with black marker. You’ll be adding the same image on top soon.
Continuing with the yellow card stock I stamped the Mon Ami stamp in red ink, from the French sentiments set of 4
* Make sure the ink is dry on both the yellow card stock and your cut out picnic princess before proceeding or you’ll end up with smears like I did! I had several smears of ink that were too much to erase so I used a black marker and added a lot of tiny random dots. It’s not necessary to do that, but if you feel like getting crazy with your marker - go for it!
Now let’s put it all together.
- Layer the yellow onto your slightly larger piece of black glitter card stock, then adhere the black piece to your red card base.
- Add foam pieces behind your cut out Picnic princess and adhere that over the same black image on the yellow piece.
- Time to bling this up! Add some gold stickers, gold garland or gold ribbon to the ends of the rug. No gold? No problem. Get something funky out of your stash to add to the rug fringes or glitter them up. Have fun. Be creative!
- Add some random black gems here and there and add red gems for earrings!
Whoo - hoo! I love this wild picnic girl! And I have something YOU will LOVE too! If you plan on doing some shopping during this huge 40% OFF sale be sure to also ADD my TJ Design Team Coupon Code (TJ10AJ) to get even more savings!
