This is such a sweet birthday card for a young child.
In the video I’ll show you how to create this polka dot background by sponging ink over a Decorative Mask. I love the surprise when you lift the mask!
Tips & Instructions:
Soft Sea Foam Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Whisper White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4 (you will cut this down after sponging)
Cover white layer with mask and tape down with Post-It Tape, Painter’s Tape, Washy Tape or something not too tacky. I only taped one side so I could lift it and see how the sponging looks.
Using blending tool (Sponge Dauber or Stampin’ Sponge or Blending Tool) sponge Soft Sea Foam Ink over the mask. Lift to see how dark the dots are and to be sure sponging is complete. Remove mask and then cut piece to 5 x 3 3/4.
Wrap piece of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around sponged layer and adhere to back and then adhere layer to card base.
Cut Whisper White Cardstock using second largest Layering Oval Die and Soft Sea Foam Cardstock using largest scalloped Layering Oval Die.
Stamp sentiment, elephant and balloons with Black Memento Ink
Color elephant and balloons using Stampin’ Blends (elephant with Light Smoky Slate, toenails with Light Flirty Flamingo and balloons with Light Flirty Flamingo, Dark Soft Sea Foam and Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blends). Add Wink Of Stella to elephant and balloons.
Adhere ovals together and then adhere to card using Dimensionals.
