Heartcraft Paper ~ You're A Rare Find

Hi everyone,

Today I am showing you my second creation that I made for Heartcraft Paper design team to show you all! Click on each image for a much larger and clearer view. 😊 I do apologise in advance for the not so great quality photos for this blog post, I was mucking around with my camera and accidentally changed the settings and forgot to switch it back.

Ok...lets have a look at what I made! 😄

Now lets see how I made it!

First I grabbed one piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and cut it down to 8 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches with my Tim Holtz Maxi Trimmer and folded it in half while using my Teflon Bone Folder to make it fold nicely, this will be my card base. I then chose the digital stamp I wanted to use "Pegasus Prance" and cropped and resized it to about 3 3/4 inches wide by 2 3/4 inches tall on Word document and then printed it onto some X-Press It Blending Card so I could use my Copic markers.
After a couple of days of letting the ink set on the X-Press It Blending Card I grabbed the following Copic markers to colour in "Pegasus Prance" image (V01, V12 and V17).

I grabbed a piece of blue cardstock and cut it down to 6x6 inches with my Tim Holtz Maxi Trimmer.

I then used an Echo Park 6x6 inch stencil from the Imagine That range which is called Sweet Dreams.

I used the Viva Decor Glitter-Paste in Holo Iridescent with my Prima Finnabair Art Basics Mixed Media 2 inch silicone brush with the stencil onto the blue cardstock to add some sparkle and to create a really fun background.

I cut a piece of Bazzill Basics Mylar paper in the colour Blue down to 5 1/2 inches by 4 1/4 inches which will be my card front. I used a My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 die (5 1/4" x 4") with my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out the sparkly cloud background which will go on top of the Mylar paper. I adhered the background onto the Mylar paper with 1/4" Scor Tape.

I used some scrap piece of X-Press It Blending Card and coloured it in with a Copic marker (B00) and then I used a stamp set from Beth Duff Designs called Seas the Day to stamp out the sentiment "You're a rare find" with my Tim Holtz travel platform using a My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink in Black Licorice. I then trimmed it down with my Tim Holtz 8.5" Trimmer. I adhered the sentiment with some Scotch 3D Foam Tape to make it 'POP' from the card.

I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the "Pegasus Prance" image and then cut out a silhouette image of "Pegasus Prance" with the Mylar paper with a 0.04" offset. I adhered the coloured and silhouette version of the "Pegasus Prance" image with Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.
