Hello, Crafty Friends! Today's card features the Gina K. Designs Time To Coast and Wild Blossoms stamp set.
To achieve the following look, please follow the steps below:
1. Today's card is a standard A2 US card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
2. Cut both center panels using the Gina K Designs Master Layouts 1 die set
3. Using the original Misti Stamping Tool or any stamping platform, configure all your stamp images on the smallest panel
4. Stamped all the images using Gina K Designs Black Onyx ink
*it is important to keep all your images in place on your stamping platform once you are done stamping in black ink*
5. Use an anti-static powder tool to remove any static from your panel
6. Stamp your image with any clear sticky ink (Versa Mark Ink) and add your black embossing powder to all your images
7. Preheat your heat gun until it is nice and hot. This will allow the powder to emboss quicker and prevent your card stock from warping
8. Once your tool is hot, it is ready to emboss the powder
9. Using Gina K Designs Masking Magic or a fully sticky back post-it note, mask off the upper portion of the scene (sky). You will also want to create a mask for your boat image. You do not need to create a mask for your flower images since they are heat embossed (emboss resist technique).
10. Using your Distress Oxide Ink or any Die ink, begin blending your background. Once the blend is to your liking, take a dry paper towel or microfiber cloth and wipe the ink off your heat embossed images.
*make sure to use a dry cloth as Distress inks are water-reactive*
11. Now you will need to remove the upper mask but keep the mask on the boat and place the mask on the bottom portion of the card (ocean) and ink blend the sky.
12. Remove all masks from your card
13. Using any color medium you are comfortable with and color your boat
14. Start adhering all your panels to the card base
