Vintage Background Card

Posted on May 15, 2018 in Cards, Die Cutting, Imagine, Joy Clair Designs, Recent Works, Talleres, Techniques

Different backgrounds created not only with stamps are trending and if you make that on Craft cardstock you can obtain a good Vintage look. VersaMagic is more versatile that you can think, specialty when the idea of watercolor is around.

Directions:

1. Cut a piece of crumb cake (craft) cardstock of 4-1/4″x5-1/2″. Take a background stamp and stamp it using VersaMagic Cloud White. Use one stamp with a lot of free space inside or any good image for coloring and cover the stamped image with white embossing powder. Melt the powder with the heat tool. 
2. Apply VersaMagic Cloud White Ink over your craft mat and spray it with water. “Paint” your stamped image with the mix created on with the water using a paint brush or aquapainter. Let the paper dry well. 
3. Apply a few touches of VersaFine Ink Clair Warm Breeze over the mat and paint one of the borders of the stamped background following the pattern. 
4. Take an ink pad of Memento Ink and apply it over the mat. In my project I used Memento Tangelo. Repeat the painting/coloring process using an aquapainter or paint brush. Let the paper dry.
5. Resize your stamped layer and paste it over a white card base using double sided foam tape or dimensionals. 
6. In my model, I used a Die Cut leaf heat embossed with Sparkle Embossing Powder . Also I added a sentiment stamped with VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze over a piece of white cardstock. 

   I paste the stamped image with a mat created on vellum with the die cut in between.
