Carousel Horse Card - GDP Challenge
Hello again, I am so sorry for the break in my posts, but my husband and I took a short vacation to the "Valley" (Phoenix) to pick my brother up from the airport to stay with us for a couple weeks. I hope you are all having a great week so far. Last week, Global Design Project had a Theme Challenge that I so wanted to participate in. I created my card and everything, but just did not have the time to get it onto my blog. So
I am putting it on today for you, because I believe anything created can be inspiration for someone out there.
The theme for this challenge was Amusement Park and of course the first thing, and I'm sure for a lot of people too, that came to my mind was Carousel Birthday from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog. In this suite you get a gorgeous stamp set, 6"x 6" paper pack, a cardstock pack, an embellishment pack, and a set of two markers to choose and purchase from. Also, in the Up & Away Framelits are two dies that will cut two stamps in the Carousel Birthday stamp set. Too Cute! I got the stamp set out and decided what I wanted to make.
I first started with a 3-1/2"x 4-3/4" piece of Watercolor Paper. I took my Embossing Buddy out and ran it over the paper. I took out the Ferris Wheel stamp and stamped it with Versamark ink in the middle upper part of the paper. I next poured White Embossing Powder onto the stamped area. I shook off the excess and poured that back into the jar. Then I turned on my Heat Tool and began to heat up
the embossing powder until it turned bright white and shiny.
Next, I got out the Watercolor Pencils and Aqua Painters. I first scribbled across the embossed area with five colors I had already picked out. I then took the smaller Aqua Painter and filled it with water. I took the Painter and squeezed until the water ran through the tip and then I brushed it across the area that I had just scribbled with the Watercolor Pencils. I tried to blend the colors together as I went. When I was satisfied with the outcome of the colors I set the piece of Watercolor Paper aside to let it dry.
I then started on the Carousel horse. I stamped the horse onto a piece of Very
Vanilla cardstock using Basic Black Archival Ink. I used this ink as I was going to watercolor again and I did not want the black ink to run. I got out my Stampin' Write Markers and used them and the Watercolor Pencils to color in the Carousel Horse. I then took the Aqua Painter, again, and water colored the horse. I then took my Heat Tool and heat dried the paper where it was wet. After it dried, I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits to die cut out the Carousel Horse. Next, I used the Layering Ovals and a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock to die cut out a scalloped frame. I then glued down the Carousel Horse piece onto this piece and placed Stampin' Dimensionals onto the back.
Now that the Watercolor Paper was dry, I stamped the Birthday sentiment onto the bottom of the paper using Early Espresso ink. I then glued it onto a piece of Bermuda
Bay Glimmer Paper cut to 4"x 5-1/4". I then glued this whole piece onto a So Saffron A2 sized card base. Next I placed the Carousel Horse onto the card using the attached Stampin' Dimensionals. Then I got out some gold sequins and placed three of them around the horse using glue.
For the inside of my card, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 4"x 5-1/4" and stamped the Circus Tent stamp onto it using Bermuda Bay ink in the left corner going off the cardstock a little bit. I then glued this piece onto the inside of the card. And we are done! Didn't it turn out great! I so wished I had had the time to get it posted before the challenge had ended. Oh well. There is always the next challenge which in fact has already started so I better get started on that one!
Thank you so much for looking at my blog post today. I have so much fun creating projects for you to look at and be inspired by.
