A is for Acrylic Paint.
I decided to go for Art Products as a theme so I painted up a couple of backgrounds in grey acrylic. I used one of my homemade stencils for this card, and a willow green paint. I then decided to use the paint for my stamping ...... I did have fun .... not. Purple paint under your nails is not good.I stamped off several printings before I felt happy enough to stamp onto my card. Even though I had practised, the print was not clear and needed touching up to make the letters clearer.
Art Products was hard so it's back to stamping!! lol
I gathered all my stamps on Baking and Cooking together and then decided on the design.
B is for Bowl and Baking.
The background stamp is heart shaped so I needed to add an additional part to complete the design. I watercoloured some of the ingredients and then stamped out the bowl and spoon on some cream paper. I added a bit more colour to them, fussy cut them out and attached them to the card. The sentiment I chose did not really fit onto the card so I decided to cut it in half and make two rows which I stamped out using Versafine Onyx ink.
I stamped the hats over the white card and then stamped the cake onto some white copy paper.
I coloured the cake and cake stand, using a gold sharpie for the stand itself - not really a good idea so I used a fine liner to add detail. Once this image had dried I fussy cut it and added to the card. I used the Versfine ink again to stamp out the sentiment.
Looking at these photos now, I realise that it may have given the sentiments more definition if I had stamped them onto white card and added them with 3D foam tape .... I have posted them now but it is something to remember!
I have received the following cards:
