Hello, I'm back again to share a simple card design
step by step created with Oak House Studio products. I was invited to Guest Blog for OHS and this is my 3rd project.
As the theme this month is Rainbow Colours I
thought I would make use of those fabulous Triple Ink pads, there are enough to
cover the whole rainbow. I started by
stamping circles onto white card, using the lightest 2 colours in each of the
triple colour ink pads. (The circle
stamp I have used is from the Flowers & Circles stamp set but I notice that
a brand new set of Circle College stamps has just appeared in the Oak House
Studio Shop, perfect timing!!) I stamped
a butterfly onto each circle using the darkest shade from each of the 5 triple
ink pads so that each circle was colour coordinated and when dry I used a
circle die to cut out which also left a little white border all around.
The card base is simply an A4 sheet of Papermilldirect White
Linen card, one of my favourite card textures, scored, folded and trimmed to
approx. 7” x 5” card base. I chose the
sentiment stamp ‘You Colour my world’ stamping the words in black Memento ink
along the bottom of the card base, apart from the word ‘Colour’ which was fun
to stamp using the triple inkpads to give a rainbow effect to the word.
To coordinate with the black ink and add definition to the
circles I cut an extra panel of white linen card approx. 3” x 7” and matted
onto black card to give a small black border top and bottom, adding to card
front using d/s tape and trimming edges flush with card.
To create extra interest with a raised effect I added 3D
foam pads to the back of each circle.
Position circles onto card front panel with butterflies in
different positions and circles overlapping slightly, when happy with
positioning remove backing from foam pads and press into place. I found it
easier to stick down the first circle and the last one before adding the
others.
I’ve tried to keep this card CAS (clean & simple) with
lots of white space and confining the colour to circles, it can easily be adapted
using other stamps such as flowers in place of the butterflies or by using some
of the other sentiments in the stamp set.
