Happy Campervan

Hi everyone,

It's my turn to post my first card as a member of the Colourific Design Team.  I've called my card Happy Campervan because it reminds me of a holiday I had in one when I was young and everyone I know that has a campervan absolutely loves it.  It would make a great birthday card for a 17 year old as they are now old enough to learn to drive.

Materials used:

7 x 7 Card blank
Stamping card
Campervan stamp pack
Versafine Black Onyx
Wow clear embossing powder
Christine Pooler ink pad minis - Party Collection
Silver and black watercolour paint
Glossy Accents
Button from my stash
3D foam Pads
Gems
Uniball Signo white gel pen

Here's how I made it:

To make my card, I stamped and embossed the campervan onto a piece of stamping card using an Onyx Black Versafine ink pad and clear embossing powder.  

I coloured the image in using Christine Pooler Mini ink pads with silver and black watercoloured paint.  

Then cut out the image and added glossy accents to the lights, gems to the indicators, a button as the badge and added a little white pen as a highlight. Then let it dry - walk away!!!!

For the backing I stamped the medium flower onto a piece of 6.x 6" stamping card to make a border.

I mounted the background onto a wine coloured card and then onto the white card base.  The campervan is adhered to the card by using a combination of 3D foam and 3D glue gel.

Finally, I stamped and cut out the number plate and the Happy Birthday sentiment and used a 3D foam pad to give them extra dimension.

The campervan stamp set contains 22 stamps in total and can be bought on the Colourific site here along with many more beautiful stamps.

Hope you like it, have fun!

Autumnal Thanks - Design Team Member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with another card for you today. This card features stamps from the A6 Leaves clear stamp set from Colourific. This stamp set has a variety of leaves of different sizes and either as the outline or the bold full stamp. I used this stamp today with a masking and emboss resist technique to create a beautiful decorative panel. 

Autumnal Thanks card details:

To start, mask off an area for stamping - this area will be where we add colour later on. Now for this card, I used a stamping platform as I wanted to emboss the leaves where the colour was, and only stamp the leaves outside the colour in a simple ink - this area was not embossed.

Before inking, I prepped the area with an embossing buddy. The stamps were inked with versamark ink and covered in Pure Platinum embossing powder and heat set. Before moving the leaves to stamp in another area, I positioned the panel back into my stamping platform and covered the embossed area with masking tape. I removed the masking that I had originally put down to mask off the coloured area. 

With the stamps still in the same original position prior to embossing, I inked the stamps up with dark grey ink and stamped onto the card panel. I removed the masking paper to reveal continuous stamping between the embossing and the ink.  

I repeated this process of inking and embossing until I had a strip complete. To add the colour. I positioned the masking taped back onto the card cover the ink parts of the stamp and leaving over the embossing exposed. Using a blending tool and distress oxides (Fossilized amber, spiced marmalade and candied apple), I created a gradient embossed resist background. Once you have finished ink blending, removed the tape and buff the embossing with a dry paper towel. This will remove any excess ink left on top of the embossing. 

To finish the card, I added a layered 'Thanks' die cut from my stash and embellished with some colour corresponding sequins. The card panel was foam mounted onto an A6 (UK size) black card with a 1/8" border. 

I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.
