Here's an Autumn-themed card created with Memento and VersaMagic inks using a lovely stencil and a meaningful quote. This card is meant to encourage a friend who had an accident who is a bit patient for nature to take its course.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1:
Use magnets and low-tack tape to secure a piece of mixed media cardstock to a magnetic page. Add a curvy piece of low-tack tape along the bottom as shown. Use a Sponge dauber to apply Danube Blue Memento Ink horizontally across the cardstock.
Step 2:
Use another Sponge Dauber to apply Summer Sky Memento ink horizontally across the cardstock, filling in open spaces.
Step 3:
Use another Sponge Dauber to add Angel Pink Memento Ink to add some warmth to the sky.
Step 4:
Place the other side of the curvy low-tack tape over the bottom part of the sky area. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Bamboo Leaves Memento ink over the tape horizontally to begin to create a grassy area.
Step 5:
Tear a piece of cardstock and use the Sponge Dauber to continue applying Bamboo Leaves Memento ink. Use another Sponge Dauber to apply New Sprout Memento Ink to fill in the grassy area.
Step 6:
Use low-tack tape and magnets to secure the Tree Stencil over the sponged paper and the magnetic page. Place low-tack tape over the leaves around the tree trunk and branches. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Jumbo Java VersaMagic over the stencil onto the paper. Remove the tape to reveal the tree's leaves. Use a paper towel to wipe the brown ink off of the stencil.
Steps 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D:
Use a Sponge Dauber to Apply Mango Madness VersaMagic Ink over some of the stencil's leaves (7A). Use a dry paper towel to wipe the ink off the stencil. Use separate Sponge Daubers to apply Aloe Vera, Tea Leaves, Pink Grapefruit, Pumpkin Spice, Red Magic, and Perfect Plumeria VersaMagic Inks over the stencil's leaves (7B, 7C). 7D shows the completed tree. Heat set.
Step 8:
Use magnets to secure the image panel onto the base of the a stamping platform. Place the sentiment facedown where desired. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamp, lift the lid, ink the stamp with Shady Lane VersaFine Clair Ink, and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if necessary to attain a good impression. Remove the card front from the stamping platform. Heat set the sentiment.
Step 9:
Cut a piece of white textured cardstock to 10" x 7". Score at 5" and fold to form a 5" x 7" card. Place a piece of scrap paper inside the card to protect it. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Shady Lane VersaFine Clair around the outer .5" perimeter of the card. Heat set.
Step 10:
Use Tear It! Tape to adhere the card front to the inked 5" x 7" card.
