Ethereal in Blue Card

Hi my friends, I'm back to share one of the "two for the price of one" cards made using Simon Says Mid Century Ethereal Plate from the recent Out Of This World release, along with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Creative Blocks and Simon Says Make A Wish and Etched Berry Branch dies.

I began by attaching Sizzix Adhesive Sheet to the back of an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card. I inked Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Creative Blocks randomly with Faded Jeans, Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks, laid the panel on to the stamp and transferred the ink using a brayer. I added shading on the panel and around the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink using a mini round blending tool and die-cut using Simon Says Mid Century Ethereal Plate.

I temporarily attached the die-cut panel to another panel of Distress Watercolor card, removed the backing from the fall out pieces and popped back into the corresponding negative spaces.

the result - two backgrounds ready to be made into cards which are reminiscent of beautiful Delft China

But back to the first card. I removed the backing from the die-cut panel and fixed to a 4.1/2" x 5.3/4" white card blank, added shading on the background with Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks using mini round blending tools, added splatters of water and dried.

I die-cut Simon Says Make A Wish from Distress Watercolor card, coloured the shadow section with Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks, die-cut the word twice more, layered to create dimension, fixed to the shadow section and adhered to the panel with Distress Collage Medium.

I die-cut Simon Says Etched Berry Branch twice from Distress Watercolor card, coloured the berries with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink using Simon Says Detail Round Blending Brush.

I fixed the Etched Berry Branch die-cuts to the panel using Distress Collage Medium Matte, tucking them under the sentiment die-cut, added Ranger Glossy Accents to the berries and Trinity Stamps Something New Iridescent Pearls on the leaves.

I'll be back tomorrow to share the other "two for the price of one" card. In the meantime, have fun with whatever you are making.
