Stuck on You!!
Hello crafty peeps and welcome back to the SNS Blog!! It’s Laurie here today to share a card made using one of my favourite brands…Concord and 9th!! I love their innovative designs. A lot of their stamp sets are large which make filling a card front very easy! I love cacti, especially in illustration form, haha, so naturally I used the Stuck on You Stamp Set and its co-ordinating dies.
I started by stamping all the images I wanted to use onto some Tim Holtz Watercolour Cardstock. I used Versafine Clair Ink in the colour Neptune and clear embossing powder because I wanted to do some quick and easy watercolour.
While my watercolour was drying, I chose another stamp from the same set and created a polka dot background on a piece of white cardstock that was cut to 4 X 5.25 inches.
It looks random and kind of splotchy but the large cactus image will cover the double stamped areas. I die cut all the images, except for the little sign. There is no co-ordinating die for this. But it’s a square and very easy to fussy cut! I adhered each piece together with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive then added foam adhesive to the back.
Because the background stamping was quite stark, I decided to cut a piece of vellum with an older die from MFT and put my cactus on top. I hid the foam tape behind the image!
I just love how large that cactus is!! And I actually used the smaller of the two!! I did add some shine with Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the flower and the heart on the flower pot.
For a little extra something, I added 3 drops of NuvoCrystal Drops in Ebony Black.
Thank you for stopping in today!! I hope you enjoyed todays card!!
See you soon!
Laurie
