Cottonball Background Card

Hey Crafty Friends!!  How about using cottonballs and ink to create a simple and interesting background?  I did and it was easy, fun, fast and very satisfying.


Card Details
  • Paper 
    • Coastal Cabana card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4"
    • Mango Melody layer 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
    • Melon Mambo layer 4 5/8" x 3 3/8"
    • Whisper White colored layer 4 1/2" x 3 1/4", 1/2 sheet for daisy 
  • Stamps
    • Parcels and Petals
    • All Wired Up 
  • Ink
    • Coastal Cabana
    • Melon Mambo
    • Mango Melody
    • Granny Apple Green
    • Basic Gray
  • Tools/Embellishements
    • Daisy Punch
    • Medium Daisy Punch
    • Banner Triple Punch
    • Perennial Essence Floral Centers
    • Versa Mark 
    • Clear Emboss Powder
    • Stamparatus
    • Cottonballs

Tip: I cannot stress enough how easy this is, there is no wrong way to color paper with cottonballs.  Click here to see me demonstrating how I created this card in a Facebook video.  Fast forward to 13 minute mark and please disregard my husband and daughter arguing in the background.  Shelter in place has made us all a bit crazy. 


Here was my set up when I first giave it a try.  Four ink pads and four big cottonballs. This would be fun with little kids.



I used the Stamparatus to stamp over the cottonaball background with the All Wired Up Stamp and Basic Gray ink.  The sentiment was stamped in Basic Gray and again in Versa Mark using the Stamparatus.  The I finished it off with Clear Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool.


For this card I used Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue, So Saffron and Petal Pink ink and cardstock.  The Crackle Stamp (retiring soon) was used to finish this background with Basic Gray ink. 


This technique even works with a more masculine color pallette like Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party.  No backgound stamp needed for this one.





Lots of wonderful items are retiring, be sure to get your favorites before they are gone.  All are available until 2 June, 2020 or while supplies last.  Don't wait or you may miss out on a favorite.

Balmy Blue Card for Hot August Day

Hi Crafty Friends!!  It has been so hot here in North Texas, the grass is turning brown, and the wind keeps blowing.  So how about a Balmy Blue card today to match our bue skies. This is a design I have used in the past and it is perfect for the Perennial Essence DSP.  That paper is so beautiful, it is a work of art.  


Card Measurements:
Balmy Blue base 4 1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5 1/2
Balmy Blue layer 4 x 5 1/4
Perennial Essence DSP 1 3/4 x 6, cut at 1/2
Ink:
Petal Pink, Early Espresso


TIP: The best tip I can give for this card is to put together top layer completely before attaching to card base.  That is the method that works best for me.
